Children's Haiti program & VBS from LeaderResources
The following is the text of an email announcement received from LeaderResources.
We don't usually email our friends again so soon, but after
announcing our new program for Adults & Teens: Searching for God in the Rubble of Haiti
we were flooded with requests for something similar to help children.
So we are excited to share our brand new, hot-off-the-presses children's program:
"Helping Hands and Hurting Hearts," that can be used as Sunday School, VBS or even a mid-week program.
Children learn about Christ's command to serve others as they take an imaginary boat trip to Haiti,
sing songs in Creole, read stories about Haiti, make mud cookies and discover ways they can help.
Additional materials include an extensive list of fundraising ideas and recipes for a church-wide Haitian feast.
We hope these ideas will spark your imagination and encourage you to raise money for charities such as the Episcopal Relief and Development
fund. The Diocese of Haiti will need our help for many years to come in order
to rebuild the dozens of churches and schools destroyed in the earthquake, so check out all our Haiti resources and ideas
here.
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.
