A sign-up sheet is available in the gathering space for any board or individuals willing to provide chili for that day. We will do a "Chili dump" of all soup donated. Please bring your chili to church before service that day.

Faith's Heritage Cookbook
Cookbook!
Since this is the high season of baking and roasting and gathering for feasts, please keep in mind our cookbook. We are gathering recipes for a cookbook commemorating the 175th Anniversary of the founding of our church. We certainly welcome any recipes you have that date back to pioneer times, but family favorites and delicious dishes of more modern times are welcome also!
It seems appropriate to include dishes of Norwegian origin. Any dish of Wisconsin origin would be good. Dairy dishes for sure, but also favorite ways to make venison sausage, ways to prepare smelt (we had no smelt runs in Nebraska), and
your ways with maple syrup and snow ice cream. Your name will be printed with the recipe you submit. But if you want to be anonymous, you will avoid people asking you what you "left out" of your recipe because "it did not turn out good when I followed your recipe."
Get the recipes to Pastor Lyman. Just put them under his door or give them to the office. During office hours, samples will always be appreciated. We will print up the recipes in a cookbook and make them available.
