The Cookbook fundraiser is under way!! 
We are collecting recipes for a new cookbook!
The funds we raise from the sales of said cookbook will go to building our new pavilion!
 
We NEED your recipes! Appetizers, main dishes, crockpot meals, casseroles, desserts, breads etc.... we want them all! You can write them down, you can take a pic of a recipe card, you can fill out a recipe sheet (they're stacked in front of the mailboxes), or I can even take dictation if needed. We would like to have the cookbook ready for submission by April 30th. You can submit recipes to Amanda Fauls, Kay Kibler, Melinda Armentrout, or Jenny Arbogast. If you have any questions reach out.
 
We are looking for individuals and/or businesses to advertise too! If you or someone you know would like to advertise reach out and we will give you more details and prices on that as well! I look forward to enjoying many of these meals in our new pavilion!  You can email Amanda at amandafauls@gmail.com for recipe submission or to Kay Kibler at kiblerkay1958@gmail.com
 

 
 
 
 
What is this all about??? 
Glad you asked... Pastor Josh has agreed to "Kiss A Cow" if we raise $5000 for the Philippines School.  Jeric Vitor is the Director of the school and he and his mother, Ruth, will be coming here this summer!  The money will pay to get them here.  There is a big board near the mailboxes, that have envelopes on them.  If all the envelopes are taken, we should end up with enough money to get the Vitor's here.  Thank you for supporting this
