The Mt. Zion UMC women are putting together a cookbook. So far “the cookbook committee” has collected a lot of great recipes but would love to add more!
Please bring copies of your recipes to the church and place them in the white basket in the Narthex. Since we are using the publisher’s software to digitize your recipes, you can bring your recipes in whatever format you have them! So, please gather the recipes you, your relatives and your friends would love to share! The deadline for submitting recipes is August 20!
