We’re trying to have recipes from as many members of our church as possible in this cookbook. If a recipe is from a deceased member of our church, we would like to publish their picture with the recipe. If you only have a printed photo, we can scan the picture into a JPG file.

For the third year, our church will participate in the collection of back to school supplies to be distributed to area students on Saturday, August 7.

- 75 backpacks
- 400 bottles of shampoo (200 suitable for girls and 200 suitable for boys)
- 350 each of 24-count crayons
- Crayola colored pencils
- multi-colored markers

A box will be in the Elevator Entry Room on the first floor of the Whitman Center for these items. Most of these supplies will be at the lowest prices during back to school sales, but if bargains are found please pass the word.
Cash donations are preferred for the small items as the possibility of bulk purchasing at a reduced price will be explored.
