Cookie Baking Night 04/08/19

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan, Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. For our "cookie" tonight, we made a Cookie Baking Night classic, "Spring Bird's Nests" with chocolate/p-nut butter coated chow mein noodles and candy eggs.

"Redeemer" Boaz was the family redeemer for Naomi's family 
(Jesus is the great redeemer of the world)

"Father of David" David was the great king of Isreal. 
Jesus was born into his family line and is the King of Kings.
