King Solomon Baptist Church Newsletter April 1, 2012 We walk by faith, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7 FOCUSING ON THE WORD OF GOD OBSERVING EASTER Easter Sunday marks the day Jesus Christ was resurrected. This is a joyous day for all and reminds us of His promise for eternal life and His love for us all. The real meaning of Easter is to celebrate the fact that 2,000 years ago Christ was crucified. He then was laid to rest in a tomb but after three days he rose from the dead). Good Friday denotes Jesus' crucifixion and Easter Sunday denotes his resurrection. The tomb in Jerusalem remains empty. Jesus lives, and since he died for your sins, so can you live, eternally!. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?“ John 11:25-26 By all means, celebrate Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Christ’s resurrection is something that should be celebrated every day, not just once a year. At the same time, if we choose to celebrate Easter Sunday, we should not allow the fun and games to distract our attention from what the day should truly be all about—the fact that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and that His resurrection demonstrates that we can indeed be promised an eternal home in Heaven by receiving Jesus as our Savior.

Candace Hughes Recipes Southern Biscuits Orange Baked Ham Ingredients 1 (14 to 16-pound) fully cooked, spiral-cut smoked ham on the bone 6 garlic cloves 8 1/2 ounces orange marmalade 1/2 cup Dijon mustard 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 orange, zested 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice Ingredients 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons shortening 1 cup chilled buttermilk Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ham in a heavy roasting pan. Mince the garlic in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, orange zest, and orange juice and process until smooth. Pour the glaze over the ham and bake for 1 hour, until the ham is fully heated and the glaze is well browned. Serve hot or at room temperature. Hash Brown Eggs Directions Fry 1 cup each chopped onion and grated potato in a cast-iron skillet with butter until crisp. Add 1/2 cup grated cheddar and crack in 2 eggs. Bake at 425 degrees F until set; top with salsa. Total Time: 15 min.Prep5 min. Cook10 min. Yield:1-2 servings In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky. Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.) Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Yields 1 dozen.
