Name: Linguica
Ingredients: 1 1/2 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Black pepper; 2 ts Sweet paprika; 1 ts Fresh rosemary; well minced; 2 Cloves garlic; crushed and minced; 1 1/2 tb White vinegar; 1 lb Lean pork; coarsely ground; 1/4 lb Pork fat; coarsely ground

In North American churches, female attendance doubles male attendance. In many African-American churches, females quadruple males. And if the men do show up, in most churches, they are often less likely to serve, sing and participate. Strong male leadership is dwindling and in some cases, strong male leadership is simply forbidden. The casual conclusion from young people is that church is a “woman-thing.” And it becomes a very slippery slope because the more the women lead, the more the men pull away and further abdicate their responsibilities in the church and in the home. The reality is this. You cannot have a feminist church and keep the men. And if you do not have the men (and studies back this up), you will not keep the children.

NOTES : LONGANIZA/LINGUICA "The Spanish longaniza is usually served fresh,
while the Portuguese linguica is frequently smoked. It's traditionally
stuffed into the narrow sheep casings, but you can also use the more easily
obtainable hog casings. There are several companies in America who make
linguica, especially in New England where many Portuguese immigrants
settled.  Linguica are even included in many traditional New England
clambakes. "

A Message from our Provider:

“We see a only a glimmering of the plans of God…”

The measure of a church, the character of a church is not made known, by how well it entertains young people; the character of a church is made known by how well it embraces old people. The character of a church is not how well it can capture the lighthearted, who are alive and young; its how well it can capture and hold the heart broken...the grieving. How does it deal with the suffering? How does it deal old age? How does it deal with cancer How does it deal with love?...loving people at the worst times of life? That's the measure of a church. Anybody can draw a crowd; anybody can put on an event. Anybody can do a rock concert and attract young people who are just looking for the next gig. The measure of a church is, how does it sustain relationships with people all the way to the grave...fully embrace them, love them, right unto death. That's the measure of a church... The measure of this church can not be known by sitting here on a Sunday and listening to this that's going on up here... The measure of this church is seen in the hardest times of life, the most grievous times of life, the agonies of life, long drawn-out slow deaths or terrible accidental deaths; and how this church embraces people at the low points and the hard points of life. That's the measure of a church.
