Cookie Walk at Epworth UMC set for Saturday, Dec. 6
Epworth United Methodist Church will hold its Sixth Annual Cookie Walk at 9 a.m. until sold out Saturday, Dec. 6, offering a delicious opportunity for holiday entertaining and gift giving.
“Tables and tables of yummy homemade cookies will be available for you to select your favorites. We will have pre-packaged cookie assortments wrapped with Christmas spirit as well as gift baskets of Fair Exchange coffee and chocolate. Selected cookies will be sold $8 per pound. Pre-packaged assortments and gift baskets will be priced individually," says Sue Sprague, event chair.
The “Heavenly Creations” Cookie Cookbook, a collection of over 120 recipes from the kitchens of the Epworth family, will be on sale. Proceeds from the cookbook and the Cookie Walk will be used to further the ministries of the Caring Pathway, whose mission is to provide care for church members and the community through a variety of outreach services.
In previous years, proceeds have been used for the upkeep of the Epworth bus which offers transportation to Sunday worship from Brandywine Senior Living. Also, monies have been used for DVD players so shut-ins are able to watch Sunday morning services; for the Epworth Sunday Soup Kitchen; for the church’s new handicapped-accessible doors; for scholarships to the Pen-Del Annual Youth Rally and to the West Rehoboth Youth Program; and for donations to the CRC Transitional Housing Program.
“Our Cookie Walk has become such an anticipated and popular Christmas event for the beach community, my advice would be to arrive early,” says Sprague.
Epworth United Methodist Church is at 19285 Holland Glade Road, off Coastal Highway north of Rehoboth Beach. For more information, call the church office at 302-227-7743 or go to www.eumcrb.org.
