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...
