The Children in Action missions group at Eastview Baptist Church of Huntingdon, Tennessee, wanted to make their own contribution to the church's Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. After studying about how to make a difference in their church, the group decided they would hold a bake sale to raise money for the offering. 

Eight agents participated in the bake sale. This required the group to arrive early to CiA meetings for two weeks and to give up two of their Saturday mornings in order to bake all the goodies. The group wrapped their baked goodies and arrived early on Sunday morning to set up the display. The group did this for two consecutive Sundays. The children raised $200. 

How is your church participating in giving to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering? We'd love to hear from you and publish your photos on our site. Email aaeo@namb.net.
