Peoples Baptist Church will be holding an auction on Friday, July 17 to raise money for church repairs and a mission trip to Uganda. Five people will be traveling to Uganda from Oct. 1 to Oct. 13. They are Barry Clinkenbeard, Tonya Clinkenbeard, Chris Kelly, Pastor David Clark and Charles Clark.
The auction will begin in the Peoples Baptist Church parking lot at 6:30 p.m. Some items that have been donated are a brand new John Deere pedal tractor, a 16-inch fresh water pearl necklace, a brand new 5,000 BTU air conditioner and a new Elgin 21 jewel pocket watch. Pastor Dick Allen of the Nazarene Church in Bloomfield will act as the auctioneer.
According to Clinkenbeard, the church supports several missionaries in Africa, but this will be the first mission trip that members from the church will take there. However, it could become a regular occurrence in the future.
Peoples Baptist Church is located at 423 N. 20th St. in Centerville.
