Most ministries in our church have not begun with a bright idea in a pastors' meeting. We usually don't say, "Let's start a street outreach," and then go recruit laypeople to staff it. We have learned over the years to let God birth something in people who are spiritually sensitive, who begin to pray and feel a calling. Then they come to us. "We want to start such-and -such," they say- and the ministry gets going and lasts. Discouragement, complications, and other attacks by the enemy don't wash it out.

INGREDIENTS

5		Granny Smith apples; peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 1/2	tb	Fresh lemon juice
1		Stick butter; cut into small cubes, cold
1	c	Flour
1	c	Sugar
1 1/2	ts	Ground cinnamon
1/4	ts	Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

(From a long-lost acquaintance)
Grease and 8 inch cake pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use lemon juice
while cutting the apples to prevent browning from oxidation.
Tightly layer the apples into pan.
Sift the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter. Sprinkle it on
the apples, trying to seal the edges.
Bake about 1 hour; serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream,
ice cream, or lemon sorbet. I like to serve candied or crystalized ginger
with the crisp.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: to know him is to love him”

The stipulations of the ceremonial law are only a shadow of what was to come in Christ (Col. 2:17; cf. Heb. 10:1). The law…is in every respect a pointer to and a prophecy of the new order of life, which only Christ can inaugurate. The law declares only one day out of seven to be holy unto the Lord, the Spirit sanctifies all seven of them. The law sets apart one tribe out of the twelve to be priests, the Spirit declares that the whole congregation has to fulfill the priestly office (1 Pet. 2:9). The law demands a tenth part of His people’s possessions, the Spirit translates us to become God’s possession with all that we have. Everything belongs to Him. We are but stewards who will have to give account of all we possess.
