COOKIES NEEDED FOR ANNUAL EDELWEISS OUTREACH
We are in need of 50 dozen cookies for our neighbors at the Edelweiss apartments just across the street. We plan to package them and distribute them to each apartment.  Last year was a gratifying experience as many of the residents were greeted in person by members of our church.  We need the cookies by
November 13th to allow time for packaging.  We will be passing them out on the 17th immediately after service.  Do you love to bake?  Can you help us out?  Please contact Rachel or Doris in the office to let us know your level of commitment in this outreach.  Thank you for helping us grow long branches!
