Rain or Shine – the Cooking for Ministry is ON!
Don’t worry, —whether it rains or shines, this shindig is happenin’ indoors!
Saddle Up for a Rootin’-Tootin’ Good Time!

Y’all, we’re fixin’ to have a hoedown of a Palm Sunday!
Join us for worship in the mornin’ and stick around after the Modern Service for Wildwood’s Chili & Cookie Cook-Off Fundraiser—Western style!
After church, mosey on outside through the doors near the main kitchen where the real showdown begins. You’ll taste your way through some mighty fine chili and cookies, cast your votes, and help raise money for ministry. We’re excited to hear which ministries you’ll be supporting this year!
Proceeds from tasting tickets and extra vote sales support ministries at Wildwood UMC.
