The Gift of Christmas

In 1996, as a fundraiser for Community Presbyterian Church of San Juan Capistrano's Friends of Music, this collection of recipes was assembled with contributions solicited from current and former members. It included favorites not only from the cooks themselves, but from the congregation as a whole. We were fortunate to acquire some recipes from long-time members who had already passed away, and those were included. Sadly, in the intervening years, many more of these cooks have left us. Lorna Collins and Anne Larson edited the contributions. Larry Collins laid out the book. Margaret Stephenson created the cover art and had the books spiral bound for sale during the Christmas holidays. We recently came across the original files and decided to resurrect the book since folks have asked about it. We also discovered a few recipes, which were inadvertently omitted from the original book. Profit from this book will benefit our preschool and kindergarten. http: //www.sjcpres.org
