FOOD for Lunar New Year@ NLCC
Sunday, January 18, 2009 by Princess Christy
Hello to all my beloved jellysisters
Chinese New Year is coming up and that we, as sisters, in the family of NLCC can serve and take part in what's happening in the house of God! For most of the Chinese, New Year celebration is considered as one of the most important events of the year, in which families come together and share the love and joy together, and to hope for prosperity in all areas of life!
For us as children of God, we have the privilege to share our life in Jesus Christ, our beautiful saviour, and that our Heavenly Father, who is a faithful and promise-keeping God, has planned for us FAVOUR, INCREASE, BLESSINGS, SALVATION and many more!
Let us continue to offer our bodies to God, so that we can be used as vessels to be blessings to others. Use every opportunity to invite your family, your friends to come along; and also to continue to pray for increase in connections with people and increase in the depth of the relationships with our friends!
food arrangement for Lunar New Year Dinner
1. Josephine& Christy (& Ivy) --> spring rolls
2. agar agar (jelly)let me know if anyone wants to be in charge of this???
Suggestions for other dishes:
1. red bean cake in coconut milk (served cold; easy recipe)
[preparation time will be around 30mins, let me know if anyone is interested and i will pass on the recipe]
2. fruits - water melon balls (very easy but fun to scoop out the water melon and present it nicely~)[if anyone is intersted...i can lend you my 'water melon baller']
3. glutinous rice ball with mango (served cold; a bit challenging)[the stuffing inside doesn't have to be mango...but lol i am a mango fan~ anyway, i have made it recently and it seems to be quite nice, but preparation time may be quite long; if anyone is interested, do let me know, i have the recipe!]
4. mango pudding (served cold; very easy recipe)[learnt from my collague recently, an extremely easy recipe which took me 15mins of preparation , but very yummy! so email me or talk to me so that i will briefly explain to you what you need to do]
acutally, i would love to suggest white raddish cake too....one of my favourites back home...but it's a challenging recipe!
Anyway, speak to me, email me if you have any enquiries! Thank you girls~ and hope to hear from you all soon!
Keep in mind:
A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
My prayer for all the jsisters including myself :
May you all be strengthened as we continue to give as cheerful givers; as we refresh others with our love, our care, our support, our time; that we will not grow weary. Allow God to be your resting and dwelling place! Continue to believe in God and His words which say that 'streams of living water will flow from within him'. Amen!
P.S. God has been so wonderful to us, in saving us from darkness into light; transforming our lives, changing us from inside out. I just want to suggest that we can edify one another by sharing our testimonies, and one great way is to type up the testimony and place in on the nlcc website, so that, not only we can glorify God's name among those who are in nlcc, but also open to all who visit the nlcc website ^^
Love you all,
Princess Christy
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
