Join us for this fun and yummy kick off for our annual pledge drive. Everyone is encouraged to attend even if you are brand new to Tree of Life. Here is how it works:

1. Have a great chili recipe? Enter to win the golden ladle trophy! Let Dave Dreyer know the name of your chili (the more unique the better) and what category you are entering it in (mild, hot, or vegetarian). daviddreyer@hotmail.com or at church. Bring your entry with you Sunday morning in your crockpot. All toppings will be provided.

2. Stay after the service to sample chilis of every variety. You can vote for your favorites by purchasing beans. $1/bean, 6 for $5 or 12 for $10. The proceeds will go to Woodstock Area Community Ministeries (WACM) and their direct assistance program which provides monetary emergency assistance to those in need. There will be winners in the mild, hot and vegetarian categories and a grand prize winner for the most beans overall (People’s Choice).

3. We will hand out materials for this year’s Recommitment Drive to all members and interested friends. There will be a short 10-minute introduction of the drive and its theme.
