UUFSM Youth Group creates a Cake Train

Cake TrainIn honor of the Polar Express play we held in December 2009, the UUFSM Youth group gathered on Saturday and created a Cake Train, featuring a steam locomotive (popcorn smoke and pretzel windows, with a waffle ice cream bowl for a cow catcher), a coal car (chocolate chips), two freight cars (tootsie rolls and gum drops), and a little red caboose. The wheels (Oreos and thin mints) ran on red licorice rails.

It was reduced to crumbs at the Sunday snack time.

Loving Hearts, Helping Hands in December

The people of the Fellowship gave generously to families from the community at Christmas. We collected $865 and used that to purchase two bicycles, safety helmets, a computer, books, and other gifts in time for the holidays.

People also gave to our December Charity: The HOPE Food Pantry.  Even though we missed a Sunday because of the snow, we still collected $285 and some food.
