Lake Edge United Church of Christ

Lake Edge member Bonnie Holmes is reading the "The Cookie Walk Cookbook" published in 1991 by Lake Edge Women's Fellowship with a lot of the prize winning recipes they have shared over the many years of cookie walk Lake Edge style. "In the book are fancy Candy Cane Cookies from Barb Stoneman and a variety thru to Chocolate Star Cookies from Florence Smith. I especially like the dedication -- lovingly to Rev John Shield for being a longtime Formidable Consumer of the goodies.

The 80+ congregations of the Southwest Association of the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ will meet Sunday, October 12. Anyone can attend, and Lake Edge also needs three lay members to act as formal voting delegates.

As a founding congregation of EHC, Lake Edge provides three delegates to the Delegate Assembly (steering committee) that oversees the work of EHC and its professional staff.

For Our Bodies, Minds and Souls: “I would feed you with the finest of the wheat…” – Psalm 81:16

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that we “make half of our grains whole.” They want us to replace
refined-grain foods like white bread, rice, and rolls with wholegrain options. But, why whole grains? Well, because whole grains are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and anti-oxidants – all critical for protecting us from a multitude of sins like heart disease, intestinal disorders, cancer, and diabetes. And whole grains have great taste!

Book Club discussion meetings are the 3rd Sunday of each month in the church library from 10:10 - 10:50 a.m. (between worship services) All books are available in the church library. Jump in with this group any time -- just for a book that interests you or even if you haven't read the book!

The Responsive Reading group focuses on reading books (primarily non-fiction, but occasionally fiction) that are compelling, thought-provoking, creative--and that elicit a response from us-- as people of faith, as citizens, and as curious, investigative thinkers.

You are invited to join us, even if you haven't read the book!
