Our Annual Pasty Sale is here! We have made a couple of changes in order to help the sales go more smoothly:
- Even though we will be making and baking pasties on Monday, you will not be able to pick them up until Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
- Pasties can be ordered online at rockfordumc.org/pasty-sale-online (similar to ordering online at some Rockford restaurants) and credit/debit card purchases will be made using the online ordering system.
Pasties can also be ordered via email, phone, snail mail or dropping by the church office. They are $6.25 each or $6 each if paid with cash or check (make checks payable to RUMC). You can click here for an order form. Order forms must have the pickup day and phone number. As a reminder, the church office is open Tuesday – Friday, 8:30am – 3:30pm.
Due to high demand, only pre-paid pasty orders received in the church office by 3 pm on October 23 will be guaranteed to receive pasties. If you order pasties via email or phone, we will ask you to either mail in/drop off payment, or provide a credit/debit card number. Any orders not paid for before, or received after, the 3 pm deadline on October 23 will be discarded and you will be considered a walk in customer.
If you are new to the pasty, our pasties are made with a ground beef/pork combination, potatoes, carrots, onions, rutabagas, and special ingredients wrapped in a pie crust. They are designed to be held in your hand and were introduced by the coal miners in Calumet MI, located in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan. Pasties are fully baked and can be frozen for later use. You can warm them by using an oven, microwave or air fryer, instructions are included with your order. People like to eat them with ketchup (the Yooper way), gravy, salsa or other favorite sauce.
Hope to see you there!
