The team will perform an original musical drama written specifically to offer the message of hope for Brazilians seeking spiritual healing.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for viewing items. The silent auction begins at 7, followed by the live auction at 7:30.
The church is at 7314 44th Ave. NE, Marysville. For details, call 360-659-7335 or go to www.projectva.org.
