It’s all the rage today. If your church is struggling to reach people and be relevant, do away with preaching, hymns, and anything traditional. Instead, do what successful corporations do: give people what they want. A hip environment, convenient services, lots of contemporary music or drama, and maybe a catchy campaign. Downplay doctrine or Christian lingo. If you must preach, keep it short and upbeat. That is the seeker church movement that’s rapidly transforming – and even splitting – countless congregations.

INSTRUCTIONS

At the end of each month, The Cook & Kitchen Staff select some of the best
recipes sent to Recipe-a-Day during the month, and post them to the entire
membership. Today's offering is a savory salad or side dish from
Recipe-a-Day Member Miriam SS.
If you've ever grazed your way down a salad bar and sampled some marinated
tomatoes, chances are you've wondered how this delectable little dish was
prepared. Miriam has been kind enough to provide all of us with this
classic late-summer recipe.
When presented with a splash of cottage cheese and a breadstick or two, it
provides a delightful light lunch.
Prepare marinade by combining olive oil, cider vinegar, basil, sugar, salt,
dry mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. You may opt
to combine the ingredients in a blender, or at least utilize a salad
dressing shaker to thoroughly mix the oil and vinegar.
In a shallow serving bowl, arrange half the tomato slices in layer over
bottom. Scatter half the onion rings and parsley over tomatoes and sprinkle
lightly with marinade. Repeat layering process. Cover and let stand at room
temperature for 1 hour before serving.
Refrigerate to store, but serve at room temperature.
