The Red Bluff Vineyard Christian Fellowship, 738 Walnut St, will be hosting an Ecuadorian dinner and silent auction on Sunday, from 5-8 p.m., in their cafe.
This event is to provide support to the orphanage, For His Children, Para Sus Ninos, in Quito, Ecuador.
The dinner will feature a four course meal with examples of traditional Ecuadorian fare. The menu will be a selection of traditional favorite dishes brought back from past mission team members.
This will be the fourth time the church has sponsored the dinner and auction, and the event grows in popularity each year. The silent auction has included in the past many hand crafted items such as paintings by well-known local artists, quilts, weekend getaways, and baskets donated by many local merchants. The auction has been competitive and fun.
The Red Bluff Vineyard has been committed to For His Children for eight years. FHC was started by Clark and Melinda Vaughn, who moved to Quito, Ecuador, from Mammoth Lakes in 1990.
They currently have 45-50 children under their care, most of them infants and toddlers. Approximately one third of the children at FHC have moderate to severe special needs.
The missionary team from the Vineyard share the belief with FHC that we are to "love His children," and support children who have suffered the greatest of all traumas, separation from family.
While in Ecuador members of the team provide medical care, construction projects, love and moral support to the staff and children, and minister to the spiritual needs of the Vaughns as well as local residents.
Many of the past team members have returned home having experienced life changing events while at FHC.
The church has extended an invitation to everyone in the community to join us and be a part of this experience.Come to the dinner, participate in the auction, visit with team members, view photos, and enjoy the fun while supporting this great cause.
This event grows each year and seating is limited. Dinner tickets are $15 for adults and $7.50 for children. Tickets can be purchased at the Vineyard or by calling 527-2449.
Each team member pays for their own travel and expenses, therefore all the proceeds from this event go directly to fund work projects at FHC.
