Cookies Needed for Veteran Outreach

April 21, 2014
When we talk about honoring the men and women who have sacrificed for our nation, we often envision large monuments. But saying thank you can be as easy as playing bingo and letting them know that God loves them. That's what our Men's Club is doing on May 7. They are hosting a bingo event at the VA hospital. 

The Men's Club needs your help in making this event something more special. They are requesting cookies to share with the vets.That's right, cookies!) Who knew outreach could taste so good?)

Why not use this as a opportunity to share God's Word:
  • Invite an unchurched friend to bake with you
  • Bake with your children and talk about the sacrifice made by veterans and Jesus
  • Invite someone from church you "kinda know" and get to know them better over batter
Interested? Please contact Ken Kuhn at 217-446-8440 if you can help. Thank you!
