Lenten resources available from Episcopal Relief & Development
Sign up to receive ERD's daily Lenten meditations by e-mail
Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD) Sunday is coming up on the first
Sunday in Lent, February 21.
To help your congregation prepare for this day and for the Lenten
journey, ERD is offering a 2010 Lenten Meditations booklet. Developed by
Sister Claire Joy of the Community of the Holy Spirit in New York City,
the devotional’s theme is “Healing ourselves and a hurting world.” These
daily meditations will encourage, challenge and inspire Episcopalians to
reflect on their lives and on what steps they might take to help those
who live in need.
Copies of the devotional and additional materials may be ordered for
everyone in your congregation by phone or online. Please note that
orders must be placed by February 8 to ensure they will arrive in time
for Ash Wednesday, February 17. Lenten materials are free. All orders
are charged a minimum fee for shipping and handling. Large orders or
overnight and second-day delivery will incur additional shipping costs.
Call Episcopal Books and Resources (EBaR) at 1.800.903.5544 or order
online.
The daily Lenten meditations are also available via e-mail. Sign up now!
What Episcopalians Do After Dinner: 500 Favorite & Fabulous Desserts
Good Shepherd, Columbia, offers terrific cookbook!
Looking for that perfect gift? Then you need What Episcopalians Do After Dinner: 500
Favorite & Fabulous Desserts (Second Printing).
We know. We know: You think all church cookbooks are the same -- quaint
little collections of Cream of Chicken soup and Cool Whip. Not this one.
The gourmets and gourmands of The Church of the Good Shepherd have
produced a decadent collection of desserts you'll wonder how you ever
lived without,
smartly arranged to help you find just the right thing.
You want a chocolate cake? Go to pages 1-30. Got a hankering for a fruit
pie? Check out pages 164-184. Or how about something good and gooey?
We've
got an entire chapter on that.
The chapters are marked by bright, cheerful photographs of desserts
lovingly prepared by Good Shepherd parishioners. The book was edited by
Good Shepherd's own Cindi Ross Scoppe, associate editor at The State
newspaper, who tracked down clarifications for all those
not-quite-clear directions and culled more than
600 submissions to eliminate duplicates and near-duplicates, explaining
slight variations in notes with the combined recipes.
You'll buy our cookbook for its yummy collection of sinfully delicious
delights. You'll treasure it for the notes that accompany most recipes,
including Good Shepherd rector Father Lyon's story of the apple pie
recipe he developed using fruit that was "borrowed" from the residence
of one of his seminary. And no, that's not a typo on the purchase price:
We really are offering 343 pages of fabulous recipes for just $10.
Pick up copies of the cookbook at Good Shepherd, 1512 Blanding Street,
Columbia, or mail checks for $10 plus $3 shipping and handling for each
book.
