(11-24-25) The St. Paul’s Country Church of Rockford Women’s Fellowship members recently concluded another very successful AutumnFest 2025. The annual event provides an evening of delicious homemade food followed by an exciting auction of donated items. 

Church members provide for this event.   Over 100 people were served! The members appreciate all of the work done to make this a MISSIONS success 

Fun Fact: One gooseberry pie fetched $200 at the auction! Everyone had a load of fun with Eric and Cole Robbins of Robbins Auctions calling the bids.

The whole event took in over $6000 and the proceeds were split 4 ways, according to treasurer Waunita Bollenbacher who clerked for the evening: C.A.L.L Ministries Backpack – Parkway and Celina; Mercer County Development Disabilities ARC program; Kingdom Harvest Ministries; and several smaller projects of the Women’s Fellowship benefitted from the whole church Mission Project! God asks his church ministry to provide for others through missions of prayer and resources. 

St. Paul’s is blessed!
