Pie Pre-Order Form

Every year, the Bischoff family, volunteer friends, and choir members bake pies to sell at the choir table at the Bazaar. This pre-order form helps us
determine the kinds of pies and amounts that we need to bake.

Please fill out the form on the back of this sheet to pre-order your pies. Please give the form to any choir member, email it to webmaster@apostlesucc.org, or drop it off in the church office by Thursday, November 5. Do not include payment. We will hold your pies at the choir bake table until 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, unless you request special arrangements.

Foods most needed are: cereal, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, meat, pasta, rice, spaghetti sauce and soup. Please join us in giving.

Casual Sunday – August 16th

On August 16, we will worship and fellowship together for a Very Casual Sunday. Our youth will be coming up from their sleepover in Rader Park in their newly made t-shirts, and you are invited to wear your favorite t-shirt (hopefully your new 40th anniversary COA t-shirt). Each service will be shortened that day to allow extra time for fellowship between the services. We hope you can join us!
