Join us at New Life Church on Sunday, October 4th, immediately following our 11:00 AM Celebration Service (approximately 12:30 PM) for our Chili Cookoff & Pumpkin Bakeoff! We'll have two delicious competitions. The winner of each will receive a very special award: 1. Chili Cookoff: Bring your best chili recipe and see how it stacks up! 2. Pumpkin Bakeoff: Bring your favorite fall-themed dessert. Pumpkin is in the name, but any fall-inspired dessert is welcome!
