Morning Glory Children: Crafting for a Cause!

Bread Before Bed!

Mother's Little Helper Bread Recipe

1 cup warm water

1 Tablespoon fast acting yeast

1 Tablespoon honey or sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon oil

3 cups flour –approximately-

If you use whole wheat and white flour add wheat in the middle of the process and use

1 cup whole wheat to 2 cups white

Add yeast to warm water and immediately add sweetener (sugar works a bit better) let sit for a few minutes until the yeast is activated. Add the rest of the ingredients except flour.

This mixture can sit for several minutes without changing the outcome.

When you are ready - begin adding flour half a cup at a time. When the mixture begins to resemble a ball take it out of the bowl and begin kneading on the table—adding a teaspoon of flour at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky. This recipe is best for rolls and is ideal for serving fresh.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Crafting for a Cause!

Friends, we have a wonderful opportunity before us ! Read on and see how you can be a part of the global shift towards compassion and understanding.

Morning Glory Children will join forces with Pebble Hill interfaith Church and other local schools and individuals to help provide a small community in Nicaragua with necessary items that we take for granted.

Carolyn Penta, a member of PHC, will be taking her 16th trip to Nicaragua this March to deliver all that has been donated.

Items such as- childrens's clothing, shoes and personal care items are all being asked for.

The weather in this community fluctuates between 60 to 100 degrees during the year so the clothing items can meet the needs of this climate. Young children are in desperate need of shoes and clothing so please be generous. Receiving blankets, onies, sun-dresses, shorts, t-shirts and sandal's will all be used and greatly appreciated.

As well as the above items we are asking that you join us for 2 evenings in February -the 11th and 18th from 7pm-9pm in the MG classroom at PHC. We will be making bags for 40 school children in need. Materials will be provided, we need your hands to help put them together. Many hands make light work -so please, bring a friend and let's get the job done!

Please bring additional donations by February 21st to:

PHC 320 Edison Furlong Rd. Doylestown Pa.

Thank you all in advance for your help!
