Please join us for a Cookie Exchange downstairs after Coffee Hour on Sunday, December 18. Bring 6 dozen home made cookies to swap and you will leave with a festive sampling of the same quantity.

The Rules:

• Cookies must be home made – no store bought fancies!
• We are there to swap cookies, not eat them (that’s for later!)
• Anyone may participate, but you must bring cookies
• Feel free to invite friends, family, neighbors – let’s face it, more cookies ARE better!
• Bring an empty container to go around the tables and collect a variety to take home
• Be prepared to introduce yourself and talk about your cookies. You might mention where the recipe comes from (your great aunt Zelda) or your experience baking them. Everyone will appreciate your honesty if for example, you burned the first 2 batches.

We will also read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and play pass the present to add to the festivities. No RSVPs required. Please contact Tara Hershberger with any questions.
