UMW Church Cookbook...2021 update.....
The cookbook is at Morris Publishing Company. The delay in the production of our cookbook was due to Deb having had an unfortunate accident the summer of (2018). Progress halted with recovery and the longevity of input has been long and arduous. However, we received a confirmation recently, billing was emailed to Deb with a balance for shipping/handling costs. check was sent out and we remain in constant contact this month, (February) with them. Thanks for your patience.
Please feel free to call Deb at the church on Wednesdays and Fridays, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on any inquiries. Or email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
