The Christian Women’s Fellowship of West Lake Christian Church helped raise over $1,600 for Week of Compassion through their congregational White Elephant Gift Exchange. The event was part of the monthly fellowship dinner held after worship.

Retired auctioneer and church member Terry Mathena pitched in, auctioning off each of the gifts. After winning a bid, lucky participants had the opportunity to either open the package they had just purchased, or trade it in for a different one.

They helped put the fun in fundraiser, and are excited to see these funds go forth and create transformation in the world.
