Saturday's Creation Sundaes & Bake Sale a BIG HIT!

It's Maxwell Street Days in our town.. and today we did an outreach to the community - we gave away FREE icecream sundaes, but with a theme...Creation Sundaes. We told the story of creation, from the Bible, as we dished out the ingredients in an assembly line fashion...complete with costumes to showcase each individual day of creation. It was so fun!! And everyone, children and adults, seemed to LOVE them!
We served over 270 FREE Creation Sundaes.



Here are some photos from the day... along with the ECW Bake Sale and Veggie Sale that took place at the same time.



Even the cops came in for a sundae!

Here are the ingredients we used, and what each server for each creation day said...

Day One Sundae Items - spoonful of vanilla ice cream and squirt of chocolate syrup. Day One Person says (in a grand, loud voice): Long ago, before the earth and all things in it, there was only God. On day one , God said, "Let there be light ." God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.

Day Two Sundae Items - several cubes of blue jello jigglers & a spoon of whipped cream. Day Two Person says (in a grand, loud voice): On day two, God made the sky & clouds.

Day Three Sundae Items - a large spoonful of crushed oreo cookies or crushed chocolate chip cookies (representing dirt/land), and shredded coconut colored with green food coloring (representing grass or plant life). Day Three Person says (in a grand, loud voice): On day three , God separated the land from the waters and created flowers, trees, and grass.

Day Four Sundae Items - candy or chocolate stars, and/or candy or gummy moons or suns (if you can find them.) Day Four Person says (in a grand, loud voice): On day four ,God made the sun, moon, and stars.

Day Five Sundae Items - Swedish or gummy fish, and/or bird candies Day Five Person says (in a grand, loud voice): On day five , the birds of the air and the fish of the sea were created.

Day Six Sundae Items - Animal Crackers, or Teddy Grahams, and/or Keebler Elf cookies. Day Six Person says (in a grand, loud voice): On day six , God made animals and then He made people to be like Him. He named the man Adam, and Adam named his wife, Eve.

Day Seven Sundae Items - hands out a spoon & napkin, and with a wave of his/her hand, shows the person the direction of a table or chair where they can sit, rest and eat their sundae creation (saying the following line as well). Day Seven Person says (in a grand, loud voice): And on day seven, God rested. He saw everything He had made and said that it was good....VERY good!
