St. Paul’s United Methodist Church Children’s Ministry raising money for Braddock Foundation

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - St. Paul’s United Methodist Church Children’s ministry is selling butter braid pastries from Feb. 1 to Feb. 21 for the Braddock Foundation.

Neville student and football player Tarver Braddock was tragically killed in a fire in Mississippi on Jan. 5, 2024. Now, the goal of the Braddock Foundation is to create projects and missions to bring smiles to children’s faces.

Director of Educational Ministries Jill Mouk says this is one way to give back to a family who has been a part of the church for many years.

“This by far is one of the greatest tragedies I can imagine that can happen to a family,” said Mouk. “It was our goal and our pastor’s goal to think of ways that we can love on this family, and it was also a way to get our children involved because so many of our children knew Mrs. Braddock and it was a way to get them involved and a way to spread joy and hope and love and support to this family.”

Six flavors are available for purchase including cinnamon, apple, strawberry cheesecake, caramel, cheesecake, and four cheese and herb. They range in price from $15 to $16.50.

Orders can be placed until Feb. 21 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church or online. To order your pastries, click here.

Orders will be available for pick-up in early March. Donations can also be made to the foundation at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church or at B1 Bank.
