Cookie Walk

Christmas Cookie Walk

“Is a Cookie Walk a thing?” Pastor Hopeton asked at a Fundraising Committee Meeting. He was familiar with Cake Walks but not a Cookie Walk. I suspect many of our members know what to expect, but for those who do not, here are a few details.
Cookie Walks have a popular history with nonprofits as a fundraiser. Plainly stated, volunteers supply baked cookies to a venue and everyone is invited to come and shop for their favorites. This year our Christmas Cookie Walk will be in Benigna Auditorium. Cookies will be accepted on Sat., December 14, between 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 – 3:30 pm. Tables will be arranged with cookies on display and for sale from 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Sun., December 15. Members are invited to come in and pick up a pastry box and gloves, and then walk through the display to make their selections. Each box of cookies will be $10. There will also be pre-boxed cookies for a grab and go option at the same price.

Thank you to the many who have volunteered to bake cookies. We request that you provide your name, the name of the cookie and the ingredients on a 3X5 card, which will be provided to you at church or in the church office in November. A total recipe is not needed. How many cookies should you bring? One church that also does a Cookie Walk requests six dozen cookies. We request that amount as a guide, but you may choose to provide more or less. We continue to seek additional cookie bakers to make this event a delicious success. If you haven’t volunteered to bake yet, there is still plenty of time to contact Mary Catherine Tachovsky at 610-691-3737 or [email protected].
We are planning for some gluten free varieties. Some bakers have decided to make Moravian Spice Cut Outs, Salt Cookies, Birds Nests, Peanut Butter, and Bar Cookies with Sprinkles. Please add your favorite to the list. When you decide on your choice, email or call, Mary Catherine. We hope to provide a good variety of choices.
Any cookies not purchased will be donated. The Cookies are coming!
