St. Luke's Annual
COOKIE CARAVAN
Please join us for this holiday outreach activity that St. Luke has been participating in for 60 – 70 years. It is a time of fun and joy, wrapping all the delicious cookies in beautiful colored packages, and then delivering them to our members with special needs, new members, those who received Baptism or First Communion this year and local businesses.
Please come and join us. This is how you can help:
1. Bring homemade or bakery holiday cookies marked “Cookie Caravan” to church not later than 8:45am on Dec. 10th.
2. Come to church on Dec. 10th by 9:00am to help assemble the cookie plates. It is easy and this usually only takes an hour!
3. Deliver cookie plate.
Please sign up to volunteer on the bulletin board in the Narthex & indicate how many dozen cookies you plan to bake. Even if you cannot join us on Dec. 10th, please drop off your cookies (marked “Cookie Caravan”) in the church office on Sunday, Dec. 8th when you attend church or the choir concert. If you have no way to get your homemade cookies to church? Please call Janet Thoma (818-577-5935). Thank you for your help!
