(Vicky Bremner photo) First community kitchen session on Feb. 21 Community kitchens have become popular for many reasons. Food costs less because it can be bought in bulk. It also takes less time to prepare because it is cooked in quantity – and can even be frozen for later use. The best part about a community kitchen is they provide a fun opportunity for people to get together. Many people have become close friends through community cooking. Some have discovered common interests that have led to the formation of new groups focusing on a variety of social issues. Deb Malone and Kathy Douglas have planned the first session for Blyth’s new community kitchen for Monday, Feb. 21 from 9:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. at Blyth United Church. Malone and Douglas share a love for cooking. The Huron County Health Unit’s Public Health Dietitian Amy MacDonald says “the community kitchen will provide the opportunity for community members to plan menus, cook together and enjoy each other’s company – it’s a great opportunity to get involved in your community and eat a healthy meal”. Community kitchens are for anyone – seniors, singles and families. “At the first meeting, we will meet, cook, decide what to prepare for future gatherings and take home a delicious, healthy, inexpensive meal of beef stew and biscuits.” For a minimum donation of $2 per person, Douglas explains, “we hope this community kitchen will allow for people of all ages to learn new, economical and safe ways of cooking, while bringing them together to socialize and provide nutritious foods for their families.” “Having the confidence and skills in the kitchen is essential for eating healthily and affordably,” MacDonald says. Programs that come at a low cost are essential in a culture of economic challenges. Blyth’s community kitchen hopes to help many. There are several ways to participate in this project. Groups and individuals can provide funds for the ‘basic pantry’ items ($150/year) or sponsor the event for one month ($50). “Financial resources are needed to make programs like this one happen, but the best way to help, is to participate”, says Douglas. “So, come out to the first meeting to share your ideas and a hearty meal”. If you’d like more information about this project, or to help, please call Kathy Douglas at 519-523-4380 or Deb Malone at 519-441-9106. Spiritual beauty! (J.R. Miller, “Counsel and Help” 1907) “But now you must also put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language.” Colossians 3:8 All the precepts of the Bible are aimed towards the fashioning of spiritual beauty in every redeemed life. We are to put away... all thais is sinful, all that is marring, every blot and blemish, every unholy desire, feeling, and affection, everything that would defile. And we are to put on whatever is lovely and Christlike. The one great work of Christ in Christians lives — is the fashioning of holiness in them. We are to grow away from our deformities, our faults and infirmities, our poor dwarfed, stunted life — and into spiritual beauty!The mark set before us is the likeness of Christ, which, at last, we shall attain! “We shall be like Him, because we will see Him as He really is!” 1 John 3:2 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956
