Here is a photo sent in by Venus Hilgart of some freshly baked cookies for the United Women in Faith's Cookie Walk. She must have had some help from some cookie-making elves! More cookies will be made at Church of the Pines on Monday, December 9th, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Stop by the church if you want to help make and bake cookies for the Cookie Walk.

In 1979, the United Methodist Women (now the United Women in Faith) held its first Cookie Walk to raise funds for its Mission fund that supports many nonprofit organizations. This unique event continues 45 years later, including a Craft Sale and the Cookie Walk. It's a win-win...you get cookies and crafts for the holidays, and many charities benefit from the funds raised by the event. When you buy cookies and crafts, you are helping the following organizations: Lakeland Food Pantry, Lakeland Sharing, NATH (Northwoods Alliance for Temporary Housing), Tri-County Council on Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault, Lac du Flambeau Domestic Abuse Shelter, Pastime Club, Personal Essentials Pantry (Rhinelander), Neighbor' Place (Wausau), and Harbor House (Superior).
For the Cookie Walk & Craft Sale, arrive at Church of the Pines between 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Please note that the cookies sell out quickly! Upon arrival, you are given a box for the cookies you want to purchase. Cookies are weighed, and the cost is $10 per pound. The craft items are individually priced.
