CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE
The ECW will host its annual chocolate extravaganza on Friday, February 8 for 6:30-8 PM. We need your help to make this event successful by donating your favorite chocolate desserts (please sign up in Rose Hall), by selling tickets prior to the event and serving during the event. Tickets are available now from Evelyn. Valentine boxes will also be sold for $5 so that guests may create their own delicious take-out treat. We will also need set-up, servers, and clean-up folks for the event. All money raised will go to ECW outreach projects. There will also be few sugar-free and “not chocolate but still delicious” items. Please join us to satisfy your dessert cravings. A limited number of tickets will be sold so don’t miss out!
VALENTINE SNOWMEN CANDY BARS will be available for $2 each after church every Sunday until Valentine’s Day. Proceeds go to Relay for Life.
NEEDED – Peanut butter and fruit, and snacks appropriate for lunch boxes or after school, would be appreciated for the food pantry. Thank you.
