Sandwich Spread made from Leftover Meat.

Here’s one more way to use leftovers from Sunday’s Pot Roast Dinner! Any cooked meat could be used to make this Sandwich Spread. I often make it from leftover beef roast as you can see in the ingredients listed below, but I’ve also used cooked pork, chicken and turkey or I suppose any combination would work nicely.

Making sandwiches from your fresh roasted meat is better than any processed meat that you can purchase. It also makes good sense to cook extra meat to use in making things like this sandwich spread for other meals. It’s also quite convenient to carry these sandwiches to school or work to avoid the expen se of eating out.

Ingredients:

4 cups cubed cooked meat

1 small onion, quartered

1 cup sweet pickle relish

1/2 cup or so of Miracle Whip salad dressing **

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp seasoned salt

1/4 tsp celery seed

1/8 tsp pepper

** To substitute plain mayo just add a little mustard.

Directions:

1.    First, I put the beef and onion through a grinder with a coarse blade. If you don’t have pickle relish or pickle chunks, put pickles through grinder with meat and onions. Of course, you could use the food processor to mix up the meat, onions and pickles. But, I started using a food grinder before I owned a food processor and I believe it works very well.

2.   In a large bowl, combine the Miracle Whip, Worcestershire sauce, salt, celery seed, and pepper. Stir in the meat mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Spread on bread or buns and add cheese, tomato and/or lettuce — it’s all up to you and your taste.

4.  This is a good spread for crackers to accompany a gelatin salad. It could also be scooped onto a garden salad for a light lunch.

We need your help!

Ladies,

 

I have a wonderful opportunity for us to serve "Servolution"... There is a lady that has been attending Trinity with her 4 year old daughter that has been living at the Union Mission. Next weekend she is moving into an apartment. This is where we come in. Let's decorate and set up her apartment for her and her little girl. I would love to get a team of Ladies together and paint and set up her new home. She is needing anything and everything. Here is a list of things that I am thinking of. Also, I will need man power to make this happen.

 

How many are with me? Please, don't limit this project to women only, lets get our husbands involved.

Kitchen: Dish rags, pots n pans, utensils, curtains, mixer, toaster, silverware, plates, glasses, bowls, food, water pitchers, etc

Dining ...Room: Table n chairs, pictures, place mates

Living Room: Couch, Chair, table, curtains, pictures, etc

Girls Bedroom: (I have a twin bed and mattress) bed spread, pillows, sheets, pictures, toys, baby doll, clothes (not sure size) dresser

Mothers Bedroom: bed, mattress, sheets, bed spread, pillows, pictures,dresser

Bathroom: towels, wash rags, soap, shampoo, picture, rugs

*Please remember this stuff can be anything your not using around your house. Any yard sale items that you were gonna sell, Goodwill has really nice dishes. Let's be creative and pray that God will bless our efforts and make this new home, "Home Sweet Home" for two very special people.

Many Blessings,
Tammy Walker

What the heck is Servolution?

Servolution:

To initiate a complete and radical change of a persons life through simple acts of kindness for the glory of God.

God's Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.

 

A church revolution through serving.

 

Here's the thing - we all think that reaching our community takes a ton of time and resources that we don't have.  I mean, don't you need a theology degree or something official to really reach people for Christ? 

 

But think back to what brought you to church.  I was raised in church, but things happened and - well, let's just say I didn't go to church anymore and I had a big chip on my shoulder towards churches, Trinity in particular..  Do you know how I came back to Trinity?  An act of kindness.  My friend Wilma and her family helped me move.  They also refused to let me pay them - in money anyway.  She agreed to help me move, if I would come to church with her.  She loved me when I was pretty unlovable.  And she let me around her kids despite my trashy mouth.  I don't know that I would have done that.

 

The point is that it doesn't take anything more than what you already possess:  God's love and a desire to love people. 

 

That is Servolution.  Taking a meal, washing a car, cutting grass - none of this is rocket science.  It's just showing love to those who might not even realize they need it. 

 

Instead of just nodding during announcements and thinking to ourselves "Well that's a great idea for the young people", let's actually do something this year.  Let's each challenge ourselves to serve our community at least once this Summer.  It's just once.  Imagine if each and every one of us that attends our church took just one day - and it's not even a whole day - to show God's love to our community.  Wow!  I can't even imagine the impact that would have on our area, can you? 

 

Instead of thinking that someone else will do it, let's each take the initiative to call the church and say "I'm in".  I want to help.  Nothing that is being done is really that hard - picking up trash, painting, mowing the grass (although I'll admit, I don't see myself signing up for the grass).  The point is we can each do something.  Who knows what kind of plans will happen this Summer, but let's get involved. 

 

Let's show God's love one little act of kindness at a time. 

 

Servolution.  I like that.  How 'bout you?

 

 

 

Scripture Memory Team

Oh girls.  Forgive me.  I forgot to post our verse for the next two, no, week and a half. 

As I was working in the garden last Friday , I couldn't stop noticing the beautiful clouds.  Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this verse on Pinterest this Sunday:

 

 

And right after our Night of Redeemed worship on Friday!  

 

Don't you just love when God does that?

 

This is my verse for this time.
