From Our Home To Your Home

"From our home to your home" to benefit Market Street Pantry
Christmas is a special time for everyone. Let’s do something special this month that says, “From our home to your home”. And let’s get the whole family involved. Packages of dried beans (black, kidney, navy and pinto) provide a great protein source and swell up when cooked to increase their volume. Here is the gift idea. The pantry will provide brown lunch bags and a directions sheet. You will find them on the table in the Church Narthex.

Take as many bags as the number of bean bags you buy. The children can color a “From your home to their home” Christmas message on the brown bags. Mom and dad can find and print out the recipes. (Snacks, salad, side dish and/or main dish.). Be sure to include how to soak the beans before they are used in the recipe. Probably recipes using few ingredients will work best. Put the recipe(s) and packaged beans into the decorated lunch bag and bring them to church on Sunday, December 8. These gifts will warm the belly and heart of those we serve at the Market Street Pantry!
