Our Savior’s Lutheran Church will once again offer cookies for your holiday enjoyment. Their “Cookie Drive By” will be held Saturday, Dec. 10, starting at 10 a.m. The church is located at 2040 Ohio Ave. S.W.

The ladies will bake some of your favorite cookies and then fill a 3-pound decorated coffee can with an assortment of cookies from cookies baked.

They ask that you drive up to the south doors of the church and volunteers will give you the number of cans that you request (limit two cans per car). The cost will be $12 per can, and the best part is that you won’t have to bake them. They also ask that you please help them out by having the correct change.

All proceeds will go for local missions. Thank you for your continued support.
