Name: Hurdy Gurdy Cake

The Greek word translated “tongues” is glossa . The word translated literally means, “languages” and it would save a lot of confusion if translators of our English Bibles would begin using that word. There is nothing in this passage that suggests undetectable, ecstatic, so-called “angelic” communication. The miracle that took place at Pentecost is that uneducated and often derided Galileans were speaking in different languages, identifiable languages, that they previously did not know. How much clearer can the text be? Verse 6, “Each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language “dialectos” – dialect).” Verse 8, “How is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?” Verse 11, “We hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God.”

INSTRUCTIONS

On the bottom of a well buttered skillet or pan, (I use cast iron) arrange:
prunes, apricots, raisins and pecans. Heat the fruit juice, honey, butter
and ginger together to make a nice thick syrup and pour over the fruits in
the skillet. To prepare the batter: cream the shortening and sugar
together. Add a small amount of the measured flour to the butter sugar
mixture. Beat the molasses and spices into this. Beat the eggs until they
are light and foamy and add to this mixture. Sift the flour, salt and soda
together. Stir the dry ingredients into the other mixture and quickly beat
the boiling water into it. Pour the batter over the fruit in the pan and
bake in a slow oven, 300°, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Loosen the
sides of the cake from the pan and turn it onto a wire cake rack until the
first steam is dispelled. Serve it warm with coffee cream to which a
sprinkle of nutmeg has been added.

A Message from our Provider:

“I don’t know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?”

Insights from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34: 1. The Lord's Supper is primarily designed to elicit or to stimulate in our hearts remembrance of the person and work of Jesus. 2. This remembrance is commanded. Participation at the Lord’s Table is not an option. 3. This remembrance entails the use of tangible elements. It isn’t enough simply to say, “Remember!” The elements of bread and wine are given to stir our minds and hearts. 4. It is a personal remembrance. We are to remember Jesus. The focus isn't any longer on the Jewish Passover or the night of his betrayal or anything else. The focus is Jesus. 5. In this remembering there is also confession. In partaking of the elements we declare: “Christ gave his body and blood for me. He died for me.” 6. In this remembering we also proclaim the Lord’s death till he comes. This, then, is not merely an ordinance that looks to the past. It is an ordinance of hope that points to the future. 7. To partake of the Lord’s Table in an unworthy manner (v. 27) is to take it without regard to its true worth, not yours. To partake unworthily is to come complacently, light-heartedly, giving no thought to that which the elements signify.
