St. Hilda St. Patrick Episcopal Church

Our brothers and sisters in Iowa have suffered greatly as a result of nature’s fury. Tornadoes, heavy rains and rivers cresting at twice their normal flood stage have devastated major cities and towns. The recovery process for those affected by these events will take months. Bishop Scarfe of the Diocese of Iowa has set up a Crisis Relief Fund to assist in this effort. You can make donations online go to donation website or by sending a check to Flood Relief, Diocese of Iowa, 225 37th Street, Des Moines, IA 50312 (make check payable to Diocese of Iowa - Flood Relief).

We should do something with this.  This article was in the Everett Herald yesterday.  An Episcopal priest has written a book about foods of the Bible.  He and his partner have developed recipes.  I realize we do this for our Seder dinner but it might be kind of fun to have a Bible dinner as another event.  The book is called “Cooking With the Bible: Biblical Food, Feasts and Lore” by Rev. Rayner W. Hesse Jr.

You can read the article about it here:

At the very least, we should purchase the book for our church library.
