Community cookbook Canceled

Dear Church Family,

After much consideration and prayer, we have made the decision to pause the cookbook project due to the limited number of recipe submissions received. While we were excited about the opportunity to create something special together, we trust that this simply may not be the right “season” for it. 

We are truly grateful to everyone who took the time to participate and share a recipe. Your willingness to contribute means more than you know.

If you submitted a photo fee, you are welcome to request a full refund. You may also choose to have your contribution applied as a donation to our Scholarship Fund, which supports our commitment to investing in education and developing future leaders within our community.

Submit your recipe (free)

Clear ingredients + step-by-step instructions.

Add Photos (optional $5)

Up to 3 images; $5 fee per photo supports the scholarship fund.

We review and compile
