2022 Harvest Dinner & Auctions
Paintings by Pastor Stanley Reep
October 8, 2022

From every indication the October Event was a huge success. Those who gathered enjoyed an assortment of appetizers when they arrived in the Good Shepherd Room. The conversations were lively as people sampled the craft beer and select wine. The 12 paintings donated by Pastor Reep were all neatly displayed on easels across the chancel step. Live piano music echoed through the church nave. Guests marveled at the artwork and the exceptionally beautiful worship space. Making their way to the Fellowship Hall participants discovered a generous array of silent auction items on offer. Dining tables in Fellowship Hall were elegantly set with white table cloths, black napkins, and fall floral arrangements. Etched beer and wine glasses touting “St. Paul’s Harvest Dinner, York” accompanied each place setting. The glasses were sent home with guests as a memento of the evening. The meal was meticulously prepared and presented. The dessert, apple crisp with Perry Del ice cream and lavender sugar, set everyone up for the sweetness of the auction to follow. The first round of robust bidding pushed the proceeds from the art sale and set the tone for the evening’s auction. The evening concluded at 9:15 PM with folks joyfully taking their leave. Thank you to the Harvest Dinner Committee for providing such a meaningful evening and the tremendous financial support for our Food Pantry Ministry.
