Concord United Methodist Church’s United Women in Faith hosted its Christmas Cookie Sale, which started after church services at 9:30 a.m. until they ran out of cookies, Sunday, Dec. 22, in the Fellowship Hall of the church, 11020 Roane Drive.
“We do this cookie sale every year,” said Becky Bishop, UWF president. “Our Mom’s Group started it, and every penny we raise goes to local missions.”
Bishop thought there were about 50 dozen cookies made by church members for the event, and she expected more to come.
“By 11 a.m., they will all be gone,” she added.
The UWF also sells pecans and apple butter. “We bought 14 cases of pecans,” many of which were sold during a fall craft sale (in November),” Bishop said. “We have two cases — 39 pounds — left (from the craft sale). We buy these pecans every year fresh, just picked and shelled, from Georgia. We get them the third week in November.”
CUMC missions director Jane Currin and a missions group make the apple butter at Camp Dickenson in Virginia in November, starting at 7 a.m. and using kettles outside to make the apple butter.
UWF is a mission-driven ministry focusing on women and children. “We’ve been around for about 50 years,” Bishop said.
