Helping the Helpers
Who deserves a “thank you” this Christmas Eve? Firefighters, ER staff, police, EMTs, etc?
Maybe the employees at your neighborhood convenience store, who don’t save lives but might have saved your dinner by carrying that ingredient you forgot?
Please bring cookies or other holiday snacks to the church social hall on Friday (23 December 2016) between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
Amanda Lawrence and friends will then divide the goodies up into decorative trays.
After the Christmas Eve service, everyone is invited to grab a tray or two and deliver them to wherever they see fit.
Please note, we cannot accept snacks that need refrigeration or heating.

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.
