Cookies for the Community!

It’s time to bake and deliver cookies to our community.  This is the sixth year for our cookie initiative, and we’re excited to again offer a blessing to those who work in our city.  In early February a bulletin board goes up by the coffee bar.  You sign up to either bake two dozen cookies, or you sign up for a location to deliver them.  Locations include places like: fire stations, public library, the hospital ER, and more.

If you sign up to bring cookies you do so on either February 10 or 17.  You bring them to the church kitchen and volunteers package them up for delivery.  On those same days volunteers pick them up and deliver them during the week.

This is a small and valuable way for us to show some love to our community!
