Christmas Cookie Sunday!

Our young people, under the guidance of Debbie Jones,
baked and decorated some delicious Christmas cookies
for our fellowship time on Sunday December 9th.
Then they served us the cookies at our tables,
bringing the trays around so we could select the cookies we wanted...
it was a difficult choice since there were so many great varieties!

Our "servers" all lined up and ready to go!
