Brownie Baking




This my friends, is how you bake thirty-two triple batches of fair trade brownies for a ministry trip fundraiser in record speed.

Our Haiti team joined together with the Bridgetown team to sell brownies and ice-cream after church this Sunday to help fund our respective trips.

Twenty high schoolers carved two and a half hours out of their Saturday - the first Saturday after school got out, for some of them - and showed up at 9:00 in the morning to mix and bake and sort and clean. And, they did a great job of it!

Although, apparently, it takes approximately ten people to wash the dishes afterwards at a sink with one spray nozzle. *bottom picture*

And, yes. We used fair trade cocoa in the brownies. The youth pastor ordered a giant box of it online, just for this fundraiser. The brownies are a tradition. The fair trade cocoa is new this year. We may not have this anti-human trafficking thing down yet, but, as a church, we are slowly getting there.
