Mardi Gras Fundraiser!

What do you get when you combine our monthly Youth Group Game Night + a Mardi Gras Celebration + a Fundraiser for Heifer International?

MARDI GRAS CASINO GAME NIGHT!

During the Season of Lent the church is raising funds for Little Heifer with the hopes of purchasing a cow (Don't know what HeiferInternational is or who we are buying the cow for? Click here!). So we transformed Fellowship Hall into a Casino Gaming Floor. Instead of wagering on games a $5 donation at the door got you a bag of chips, unlimited access to the snack bar (sandwiches, chips, even Red Beans and Rice!), and a chance to try your luck at the various gaming tables. All the proceeds go to Heifer International.

Here are some photos from what proved to be a great event and a huge fundraiser.

RE Chair Kathy ruling over the Roulette Table. Congrats, Kathy, it was a great night!


Eric making his donation for the night. Note: Check out the little cow banks at the front of the table; we call it "Feeding the Cow" here at Encanto when you make your Little Heifer donation.


Sunday school teacher Steve (complete with visor and arm band) instructs folks on the intricacies of Blackjack.


Who better to run the Craps Table than our Moderator and her sister. (There is a Moderator joke there somewhere, but I'm not touching it!)

Remember, we are accepting contributions for our Little Heifer Project throughout the entire season of Lent. So bring your spare change or loose bills each Sunday to Fellowship Hour after worship and "Feed the Cows."
