The theme of our stewardship drive this year at church was Eat Dessert First, the idea being to enjoy God’s goodness, presence,  guidance, and comfort first and THEN tending to the practical side of life. We should give out of gratitude to God.

Today we handed in our pledge cards and celebrated with a Brownie Baking Contest and this chocolate fountain. You’ve never seen so many brownies all on one table in your whole life. I made my first ever from scratch brownies for the contest, but I didn’t win. The Hot Lutheran prize went to Gail Francis for her peanut butter brownies.

All of this at 10:00 am. Doesn’t everyone eat chocolate for breakfast?
