Greetings!

Sing for joy, you heavens, for the LORD has done this;
    shout aloud, you earth beneath.
Burst into song, you mountains,
    you forests and all your trees,
for the LORD has redeemed Jacob,
    He displays His glory in Israel.

Isaiah 44:23 NIV

A consistent element in this Bible text is that all of creation–every creature, every forest, every plant, every mountain, and every rock–praises God in its own time and way. Shouldn’t we as well?

Here at Missoula Community Regional Ministry, through God’s grace, we are praising God for all that He is doing, including these new initiatives that we pray will be a blessing to the Missoula community:

1. The Conversation Club - began earlier this month and meets every first and third Saturday at about 1:30pm. This Conversation Club helps participants improve their listening and speaking skills within the contexts of formal and informal settings. It also enhances vocabulary and literacy abilities.

2. The Learning Community began in September and is a place where our youths between the ages of six and seventeen can come and receive free tutoring, coaching, and academic support. It’s a structured environment where they can complete their school homework/assignments or get help developing important 21st century skills. The Learning Community helps students expand their literacy & numeracy competence as well as improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, which enhance academic performance. It is open to the youth in our community on Mondays, 6pm through 7:30pm. Snacks are provided.

3.   MCRM Clothing Boutique  - will open soon and will be providing clothing, non-perishable food items, and toys for those in need. Please let us know if you are willing to help with this ministry.
 
I am extremely excited to see how God is working with and through Missoula Community Regional Ministry. If you would like to participate in and volunteer with any of the above mentioned programs, please contact us at mcrmcommunication@gmail.com.

As always, I look forward to seeing you at our weekly time of praise, worship, and fellowship, starting with our in-person children's program at 11am followed by our 11:30am (MST) service held on Zoom and in-person.

Sincerely,

Pastor Dexter Royes

The Learning Community
On September 27, we launched our learning community ministry. The Learning Community is a place where our youths between the ages of six and seventeen can come and receive free tutoring, coaching, and academic support. It’s a structured environment where they can complete their school homework/assignments or get help developing important 21st century skills. The Learning Community helps students expand their literacy & numeracy competence as well as improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. These skills help enhance overall academic performance. TLC is opened to the youths in our community on Mondays, 6pm through 7:30pm. Snacks are provided.

from Azure Farm
INGREDIENTS:
 
1 yellow medium onion, finely diced
1/2 cup vegan butter
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 ribs celery, finely diced
2 carrots finely diced
2-3 medium red potato’s, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup corn starch
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
1 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
1 cup frozen green beans
1 cup peas
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs onion powder
Salt and black pepper, as desired
1 (8-count) tube of refrigerated canned biscuits ( flaky kind )
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  1. Heat a large oven safe skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add in the vegan butter.I love to make this in a cast iron skillet! But if you don’t have one just have a oven safe baking dish ready. Melt the vegan butter and then add in the onions, garlic and celery. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Add in the diced potatoes and carrots cook for about 5-8 min.
  3. Remove the biscuits from the refrigerator and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes (or half of the time required on the package).
  4. Gradually mix in the cornstarch, a tablespoon or two at a time, until fully combined. Cook for 2 minutes.
5. Add in the broth, coconut milk, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, and then cook for about 3 minutes. Lastly add in the frozen green beans and peas and bring everything to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with salt to taste. ( ensure potatoes are done before continuing)

6. Remove the half cooked biscuits from the oven and arrange them onto your hot skillet, don’t press down too hard. Let them barely sit on top so they don’t get soggy. (If you are using a baking dish, transfer the cooked mixture to the baking dish and then place the biscuits on top as directed above.) Immediately put the dish into the oven and bake for the remaining biscuit cooking time, which for us was 9 more minutes, or until golden.

7 Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken as it cools.
