For anyone who has wished they had more time on their hands or the skills to get something done, the opportunity to buy someone else’s is coming up. On Sunday, Nov. 22 at 7 pm, the Neepawa United Church is hosting a “Time and Talent Auction.” 

Members of the United Church congregation will be offering up their services for sale. Things to bid on could range from babysitting services, to a handyman’s help, to a pie a month, and even a weekend at a cottage. Anyone who is part of the United Church congregation can fill out a form for whatever they want to offer at the auction. 

The Neepawa United Church held an auction like this in 2004, and it went very well. All of the money from the auction will go to support the United Church. 

The auction will be held at the United Church in the Christian Education Centre (CEC). There will be coffee and desserts served. The whole community is welcome to attend. It is meant to be just as much a fundraiser as a time of community fellowship.
