Cooking Class at Hamilton Church

After much planning, preparing and prayer for several weeks, the Hamilton Church held their cooking class on Sunday, October 29th. at 2:30pm.

Although we had distributed our printed invitations in stores and had invited friends and acquaintances, we did not know how many to expect. We hoped and prayed that we would have a good turn out. Well, we were not disappointed. Several of us came early to get things set up and while busy at work the people began coming by ones and twos and threes. Some, who had promised to come, did not, but then others came instead.

After Brother Evald had welcomed everyone. Brother Jerry held a very interesting and informative seminar .He first spoke about treating skin cancer with a wild plant Òleafy spurge ÓHe then with Herson’s help showed the proper way to rest and exercise a bad lower back. Following this, the visitors had many health questions which Br.Jerry was able to answer with ease.

Next Brother Evald spoke on the nutrients in carrots, celery and beets and the value of juicing. He then served a glass of delicious juice to everyone. He also distributed copies of the article from the November issue of the Messenger entitled “Cancer- Fighting Powerhouses”.

Lentil Bean Soup, Sunflower Carrot Loaf and Crunchy Coleslaw were presented next by Sister Gloria.

Sister Franziska made Hummus and Cashew/Olive Spread and Sister Rosario showed how to make Soy Butter. Many of the guests then expressed their desire to attend another cooking demonstration in the near future. While we were busy setting our food on the table, the visitors could browse through the many books offered for purchase and quite a number were sold.

In addition to the items mentioned above, we also served four kinds of bread, lentil spread, pineapple/date squares and tapioca pudding.

During the meal, Brother Evald and Brother Jerry had the opportunity to speak with several of the visitors. We thank the Lord for giving us this opportunity to share this small portion of the health message with about 20 visitors. May He bless all who attended.

I also wish to thank Maria (one of our visitors) Lois, Maurine, Valerie and Br. Abel for helping with the setting up and the cleaning up afterwards. It was very much appreciated.

On behalf of the Hamilton Church, thank you to all who supported us from the Mississauga and Toronto Church by your presence.
