There should be some non-negotiables on which you must never compromise. In particular, make certain that the church is committed to: 1. The Bible as the fully inspired, inerrant, infallible and authoritative Word of God. 2. That God is exalted as holy, sovereign and all-wise. 3. That salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. 4. That there is solid, biblical, expository preaching and teaching. 5. That the church recognizes its duty to evangelize its own community and those around the world through missionary efforts. 6. That it teaches and insists upon holiness among its membership. 7. That it is characterized by a love toward both the saved and the lost. 8. That it both feeds and protects the flock. 9. That it encourages genuine fellowship among its members. 10. That it is a church that prays, recognizing its absolute dependence upon the grace of God. 11. That it is a vibrant, joyful Christian fellowship.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut chicken in pieces and simmer in 3 quarts of water for a THIN stew, or 2
quarts of water for a THICK stew, until meat can easily be removed from the
bones, about 2 1/4 hours. Remove chicken and let cool.
Add the vegetables to the broth and simmer uncovered until the beans and
potatoes are tender.  Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Add the
chicken deboned and diced, or in sections. Add the seasonings.
NOTE:  If canned vegetables are used, include their juices and reduce water
to 2 quarts for a thin stew, and 1 quart for a thick stew.
ALSO NOTE:  Brunswick Stew is one of those delectable things that benefit
from long, slow cooking.   It is a rule in some homes never to eat
Brunswick Stew the same day it is made, because its flavor improves if it
is left to stand overnight and is reheated the next day.
