Pies
The First Presbyterian Church conducts a fund-raiser where we make homemade pies
in November to benefit the Montreat Worship and Music Conference. The apple, cherry, pumpkin, pecan, mincemeat, chocolate cream and key lime pies are handmade and frozen raw, and oven ready. When the time is near, a month or two before, you will find an order form in the Bugle, the pew racks and on the website. We can use just about all the help we can get so please join us for any or all of our pie production days: most Fridays and Saturdays from 9-noonish for the 6 or so weeks leading up to “Pie Day” which is the last Sunday before Thanksgiving. Check the sign-up sheet for exact dates by the choir room. Don’t worry, we can train you! Skills are perfected and community is built over pie dough in the First Presbyterian Church kitchen!
