DONATE SWEETS AND TREATS FOR COFFEE HOUR

Everyone enjoys having a snack at Coffee Hour, and the Fellowship Board is asking if you can help supply some of the sweets and treats. Perhaps you are baking cookies or muffins and can make some extras, or if you are shopping and can purchase an extra package of treats to share. Most popular items are cookies, muffins, bars, etc. Simply place your items in the Kitchen marked “Fellowship/Coffee Hour” and we will use them the next Sunday or freeze them for future Coffee Hours. The Fellowship Board appreciates any help, as our board provides the treats every Sunday. Thank you!!!
