​Rick & Sheryl are planning a romantic weekend in Galena at a Bed & Breakfast. It is just what their marriage needs! Steve and Debbie will enjoy a delicious gourmet dinner prepared by a graduate of a French School of Cuisine – not for a special occasion, “just because”. Then there is Lisa, who will pick up some historic stained glass from an old church sanctuary that will look perfect in her front room window. Todd will add to his baseball card collection a Cal Ripken rookie card! And Carol & Tom will pick up a bottle of Wine Spectator’s 2003 Wine of the Year. What about you? These items and much more will be available at the Saint Matthew Silent Auction on Saturday, November 23 from 5:30pm-8pm in Krueger Hall. You’ll also enjoy a fine meal and good company, and all this supports the Youth & Family Ministry at St. Matthew! 

Tickets will be $25 per person and will entitle each ticket holder to a buffet style dinner and the ability to bid on items.
A separate cash Wine Bar will also be available.

​Tickets may be purchased before and after worship services on Saturdays & Sundays or by submitting Ticket Request information below or by calling the church office @847-438-7709.
