Novel Theology: My Ántonia by Willa Cather

Wednesday, May 20, 7:00-8:00 p.m., on. Zoom

Facilitator: Judy Fritz

One of Cather's earliest novels, My Ántonia tells story of Ántonia Shimerda, who arrives on the Nebraska frontier with her family. The narrator is Jim Burden, a neighbor who will befriend Ántonia, teach her English, and follow the remarkable story of her life. Working in the fields of the Great Plains, Ántonia forges the durable spirit that will carry her through the challenges she faces when she moves to the city. Only when she returns to the prairie does she recover her strength and regain a sense of purpose in life. To join this meeting, contact Amelia Tuttle at amelia.tuttle9@gmail.com for the Zoom meeting link and password.

Need a new recipe?

Postponing the All Saints' Women's Retreat has not stopped this amazing group of fifty women from bonding over shared love of food! We've been sharing favorite recipes over email. Here's this week's recipe:

 

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and sprinkle with salt. Saute until browned and cooked through, about 5 mins. Transfer to plate. (I typically saute at a lower heat for longer to make sure it does not get tough and it is more tender.)

2. Heat remaining tsp oil in same skillet over low heat. Saute onion, garlic and ginger. About 6 mins until fragrant and softened. Stir in sugar, curry past, cumin. Cook 1 min, stirring constantly. Add asparagus, milk, and fish sauce. Bring to boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, covered until asparagus is tender, about 3 mins.

Refugee Ministries: Help Mang Bor Cin Attend Georgia Tech and Fulfill Her Dream to Become a Doctor  

Mang Bor Cin is the oldest daughter from the Ceu Hu/Sui Ei family from Myanmar, one of our refugee resettlement families who arrived in October 2016. With the steadfast love of her parents (who themselves never got to attend school) and the encouragement and prayers of many in our church, Bor Cin is graduating next month from Clarkston High with a 3.9 GPA in a demanding course load. She has been accepted to her dream school, Georgia Tech, where she plans to become a neurologist and provide care in underserved communities.

Despite receiving a HOPE scholarship, a Pell Grant, and federal loans, her package at Georgia Tech has still come up $10,000/year short, far more than she can make up by working during school. She will be the first in her family to attend college and she and her family would enormously appreciate any support you can give. If you'd like to donate,  please click here and in the drop down menu where it allows you to designate a ministry please choose "Ref Min College Fund."

Thank you so much for helping a very talented young woman who has overcome so many obstacles to achieve her dream.
