We met last night for our bi-monthly Home Group gathering, as usual, and as usual a lovely time was had by all! The McKnights hosted us, and filled us up with a divine brisket, and dessert created quite a buzz as well! Melba Wright shared a fun, easy and delicious recipe with us. I didn't get the actual name for it, so I'll call it "Melba's Easy-Breezy Ice Cream Cake".

Fill a baking dish with one layer of ice cream sandwiches; cut to fit if necessary. Spread one tub of whipped topping over that. Top with your choice of candy: Melba used Heath toffee, which was fabulous, but after much discussion we decided that Butterfinger bars, Hershey's chocolate curls, crushed Oreo cookies, M&Ms, cherries or even a 'stars & stripes' berry design would be great, too!

Cover and put it in the freezer to set. Then take it out shortly before serving to thaw a bit to make it easier to cut and serve.

And there you go. Simple, delicious, and just plain fun for a spring/summer treat. Thanks, Melba!

Hebrews 10 in Action at the PBC Easter Festival

2010-04-03T23:32:00.003-05:00

Today our church held its annual community Easter Festival, and as usual it was a great success!

Easter egg hunts for the children...featuring 22,000 candy-filled eggs! (as shown below by the Dees family)

An engaging, relevant program for families in the Worship Center, featuring music, games, prizes, and most importantly, the Gospel message presented in a kid-friendly format.

...and our very own Melba Wright (in the black shirt) popping balloons as part of an audience participation game!

FREE LUNCH for everyone! Here are the sweet Bourlands, ever the example of service to our church.

There were also several bounce houses, basketball games for the older students, prizes, face painting, and a rock climbing wall. The whole community was invited, and everything was FREE!

*****

We pray that the Gospel message of the Good News of Christ deeply reached every seeker present today. Want to know more about why Easter is more meaningful than bunnies, baskets and colorful eggs? Visit http://www.pantego.org/spanclass2ConnectbrbtoGodbspan/HowtoKnowGod/tabid/121/Default.aspx.

Hebrews 10 Celebrates Christmas

2009-12-13T23:19:00.003-06:00

Saturday evening, the wonderful Wright family opened their home for our annual Christmas Home Group gathering. Thanks to Melba and Tom, our gracious hosts, for the delicious taco soup!

The Hebrews 10 ladies present that night took time out for a quick photo op:
And as is our yearly Christmas tradition, our group 'adopted' widows from our church and from our individual families to present with special holiday gift baskets. Each Hebrews 10 family contributes selections to include in the baskets, and the ladies assemble them at our Christmas Home Group gathering to prepare them for delivery.

This year we adopted two widows to bless, and our baskets turned out gorgeous as they always do!

After all the dinner, dessert and basket making, we enjoyed an evening of singing hymns and Christmas carols together.

We are grateful to be able to celebrate Christ's birth with our church family each year!

Several people asked for my scone recipe, so here it is. Its a tweaked version of Joy of Cooking's scone recipe. Feel free to share as many scones as you like with friends and neighbors.
Mix together:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup of oatmeal pulverized in a food processor
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Add:
1 1/4 cup of heavy cream
Mix together just till blended. The dough will be thick. Feel free to use your hands.

Stir in:
1/2 to 1 cup of chopped nuts
1 cup of chopped dried fruit, raisins, dried cranberries, apricots, whatever you like.

Divide the dough into two equal balls and flatten on a cookie sheet covered with parchment
sprinkled with a bit of flour to keep from sticking.
Flatten each circle to about 1/2" high and cut into 8 segments, like a pie. Space out a bit on the paper. Brush with the cream and sprinkle with a little sugar.
Bake at 425 for 17 minutes, or lightly browned. I like to flip mine over and toast the bottoms a bit. Cool on a baking rack. Enjoy!

Elevated Living

July 12: our lesson this week focuses on singlemindedness.

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
