Central Baptist Church in Italy is producing a cookbook to raise money to purchase a new people mover. The cookbook will be a three-ring binder and feature recipes from some of the church’s best cooks, past and present.

“We are very excited about the project, I know our congregation will benefit from the people mover, and the community will benefit from the recipes… it’s a "win win ” said Pastor Todd Gray. “We hope everyone will order a cookbook for themselves and also order several for gifts. We expect delivery before Christmas.”

The price is $17.95 if pre-ordered and prepaid. Books can be shipped out of the area for an additional $4.95. Please make checks payable to Central Baptist Church and mail to P.O. Box 750, Italy, Texas or drop them off at the church office at 113 S. Ward Street. The deadline to order the cookbook is September 15, 2011. For more information, please call 972-483-7474.
