  2. I have been looking for ways to show hospitality (and hence, Christian love) to my neighbors. Am hosting a cookie exchange in a couple of weeks, but was wondering what to do next. This book sounds like it is the key to another fun evening.

  8. Thank you so much for the chance to get these tips! I am always looking for some helpers, especially at this time of the year. Could I just be contacted for my physical address via my email address should I be chosen? I didn’t want to put my physical address out there for all to see. Thank you!
