Monster Cookie Swap (11 December 2016)

Bring a batch of cookies to swap — make one recipe of your own and take home a variety of cookies.

If you don’t bake, that’s even better. You can make a donation to All Souls in lieu of providing cookies. Or you can do both — bring cookies and make a donation.

There are always tons of cookies available — treat yourself to dessert or use them as neighbor / teacher gifts.

Drop your cookies off in the Social Hall prior to the worship service. The cookie swap will be open before and after the Congregational Meeting.
