Bake Sale for
Haiti
The question of how to use a
4-H project to help others has prompted Morgan and Sydney Ernsbarger to
coordinate a Bake Sale. Baked goods from their Local and State Fair winning
recipes will be featured for purchase with all proceeds going directly to the
United Methodist Committee On Relief. Show your support for their efforts by
shopping after the services on Sunday, February 21st or at the Lenten Service
that evening. You are always welcome to demonstrating your own baking skills
by bringing your own baked goods to add to the table. We can let 4-H mean
Head, Hands, Heart and Help for Haiti.
Morgan & Sydney's bake sale
brought in $565.00 for Haiti Earthquake Relief.
Please be in prayer
