PTS Thank You!

The 17th Annual Plant the Seed Dinner, held on May 8 at the MSU Strand Union Ballroom, was the largest ever!  A record-setting 634 people enjoyed an evening together, celebrating God's work through Love INC and the 43 partner churches in Gallatin County. 

What a showcase of creativity the partner churches displayed through their wonderfully created Theme Packages which were offered in a Silent Auction!  Additionally, several generous businesses and individuals contributed attractive items for the Silent Auction.

The purpose of Plant the Seed is to provide funds to grow the partner churches' outreach ministry through Love INC to people in need in our area over the coming months.  We look forward to a harvest of lives touched by the love of Christ as demonstrated tangibly by His people... and transformation through that love.  The dinner also provides a great venue for thanking God for His blessings as Christians from so many churches gather together, united around the same purpose: to reach out and serve our neighbors who are going through a difficult time.

Contributions are still being received from Plant the Seed via the mail, but the preliminary results show an offering of more than $28,300.  The Silent Auction totaled more than $12,850.  

Coming soon!!  A Bid-At-Home Auction will be coming within the next couple of weeks for everyone to participate in bidding on some great items if you were not able to attend the dinner.  Look for it in your mailbox!  If you are not on our mailing list, call the office and request to be added: 587-3008.
