Peoria Children Make Cookie Mix For Can-A-Thon Drive

The Children’s and Jr. High Sunday School classes of the Peoria Church of the Brethren spent a Sunday morning filling Mason jars with cookie mix. Two kinds of ingredients filled the jars, a mix for chocolate chip cookies and a mix for oatmeal raisin cookies. During the morning Sunday School hour the children filled 29 quart jars to be used to raise money for school kits to be sent to Haiti.

After Church the cookie mixes went on sale in the Narthex for a donation to be used to buy items that will be assembled into school kits for the children who have suffered through a hurricane and earthquake that has devastated their country. The effort of the children raised over $150 to be used with other donations during Bible School for the kits.
