Need for January Girls' Night Out!

UPDATE!!! WE HAVE MORE THEN ENOUGH HELP WITH CUPCAKES! THANKS FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS THOUGH! :)



Do you still have an urge to bake after all of the holiday baking? Maybe you are looking for an opportunity to serve. Our January Girls Night Out event is quickly approaching and we are in great need of volunteers to help make cupcakes for that evening.

Chocolate cupcakes, lemon cupcakes as well as poppy seed cupcakes will be on the menu. Both of the chocolate and the lemon cupcakes will be made from a box mix. There is a recipe for the poppyseed muffins that we will be serving. You can make a monetary donation towards supplies if that is something you are more comfortable with.

If you are able to help by baking, by monetary donation or if you have further questions, please contact Leandra Hendrix at 503-930- 5712 or leandra.hendrix@yahoo.com.

Women's Discipleship 2013-2014 *REGISTER NOW!*



Women’s Discipleship 
2013-2014
Study…Fellowship…Encourage…Grow…Belong
Fall is just around the corner and with that comes Women's Discipleship, a ministry meant for all women in all seasons of their Christian life, from brand new believers to those who have known Christ for years.  Come study and grow together with us as we investigate the truths of God’s Word and encourage each other in the application of these truths. 
Join us on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (beginning September 24, 2013),  Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11:30 a.m (beginning September 25, 2013), or Wednesdays from 12:00-1:00pm (beginning September 25, 2013).  This unique six year program begins by establishing strong roots and culminates with opportunities for branching out.  Each class focuses around curriculum that will give you the opportunity to study God’s Word on your own and come together once a week to discuss it in a small group format.

*John - Year 1   $14
Establishes roots based on the truths of who Jesus is and under-standing what it means to believe in Him.

*Galatians - Year 2   $26 ($14 without book)
Provides a foundation for growth by gaining an understanding of the freedom we have in Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

*James - Year 3   $14
Experience the pruning and maturing that comes as a result of studying what genuine faith looks like in the life of a believer.


***After completing the third year – The Study of James – you may choose one of the following three electives in any order:


Elective 1:  *OneSent --- $14
Branch out and develop a heart for others as we search God’s Word and look at the life of Jesus to determine what it means to be One Sent, to have “His Heart, His Hands.”

Elective 2:  *Reflections of a Godly Woman - Year 4   $14
Flourish through the study and application of the characteristics of a godly woman by studying the principles in Titus 2 and women in the Bible.

Elective 3:  *To Know His Name - Year 5   $14
Be built up by experiencing God more intimately through a deeper study of His names as they are revealed in Scripture. This study gives women the opportunity to further their biblical study skills and share what they have learned with their group.

It's a late Dinner Bell! and it's not even a dinner...Hard Cooked Eggs in the Oven

Now, maybe you are way more ahead of the game then I am, but when I discovered this trick for making hard boiled eggs minus the boil I was thrilled! Figured I would share the wealth...to those of you who aren't overachievers.;)

They turn out awesome and are so much easier to do larger amounts.

Hard Cooked Eggs in the Oven

2-4 dozen raw eggs
ice
water

1) Oven rack in the middle position
2) Fill as many muffin tins as you want.:)
3) Don't preheat oven!
4) Put eggs in and turn the oven on to 325*
5) Bake for 30 min.
6) Immediately transfer to a large bowl full of ice water.
7) Peel and store in the fridge!
*You might see little brown spots on the eggs. Never fear! It does not effect the taste whatsoever!
Enjoy! Nom nom nom.

March GNO's Recipe - Pink Lemonade Cupcakes



Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
From the Kitchen of Nikki Hughes

Cupcakes:
1 box white cake mix
¾ cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate
½ cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 egg whites

Icing:
6 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter @ room temperature
¼ cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate
2 pinches salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees & line 24 muffin tins with liners.  (silver or Reynolds StayBrite baking cups work nice).  Combine all of the cake ingredients in an electric mixer and begin by mixing on low for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium for another minute.  Divide the batter evenly, filling the liners about 2/3 full.  Bake cupcakes for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Allow cupcakes to cool.  Make frosting by combining all the ingredients and mixing until frosting is light and well combined.

Dinner Bell! - Not Your Mama's Baked Potato


Found this idea on Pinterest and boy am I glad I gave it a try! Delicious! 

And the kids kept saying it tasted like yummy french fries.:)




~Method Preheat the oven to 220˚C (425˚F). 

~Put the potato on a chopping board, flat side down. Start from one end 

of the potato, cut almost all the way through, at about 3 to 4 mm 

intervals.

~Arrange the potatoes in a baking tray and insert the garlic in between 

the slits. 

~Scatter some butter on top of each potato. 

~Bake the potatoes for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes turn crispy 

and the flesh is soft.
