Cookbook Update (as of Dec. 15th)
We received 440 cookbooks from Morris Press 2 days before the Taste of Grace. We have sold 367 cookbooks. We have received funds totaling $5,224.75. The cookbooks cost us $3,270.00 and that bill has been paid, leaving us with a profit of $1,954.75. The Library ministry has approved the purchase of another bookcase, using some of this money.
We have about 60 cookbooks left and they are going fast! The cookbook makes a wonderful Christmas gift, so if you forgot someone on your list, they are only $15. I you haven’t gotten yours, better hurry!
Dianne is the church secretary here at Grace. You can contact her by calling the office at 817-468-0868 or via the email link below.
