 These recipes for GIFTS IN A JAR, would be wonderful to use for a variety of things!
This is perfect on a pastor's wife's budget!
A few suggestions for use I have would be: - a gift to leave when visiting new families that have visited your church.
- A gift from you, the pastor's family, to each of the families at church.
- The Sunday School teachers that teach your children.
These recipes are inexpensive and easy to do. I received one from the lady
that provided most of these recipes. Terri Shuerger, and her husband Jon, are
on the field of Mexico. As she was saying her goodbyes after
having spent the week at our missions conference, she handed me a jar with
the cookie ingredients in it. It was such a nice gesture of thankfulness,
and a sweet way to show her love. Thanks Terri, for a great week, the jar, and these recipes!
 I have recently been
given TONS of recipes for this section and a section for Sunday School/V.B.S crafts!
Thank you so much to a wonderful lady named Jennifer for sharing all of the new recipes to
add to this site!!
IMPORTANT NOTE:Many people have asked where they can get Vanilla Powder for
some of the recipes. You can find it usually at kitchen specialty stores, or you can shop on line:
