Orange Rolls

imageFor those of you still dreaming about the orange rolls you had at our amazing Birthday Dinner, here is the super secret recipe . . . . .

 

 

Rhodes Orange Rolls

18 Rhodes dinner rolls

1/2 cup butter melted

1/2 cup sugar

1 orange peel grated (save orange for the juice needed in glaze)

Combine above ingredients.  dip roll in mixture and place in a muffin tin or on a cookie sheet (I like to spoon the mixture over the roll versus just dipping)

Let rise for 3 hours. Bake at 350 for 10-15 min. or until lightly browned. Frost with orange glaze while the rolls are still warm.  Makes about 18 rolls.

Orange Glaze:

1 C. powdered Sugar

2 T orange juice (use orange from the above recipe)

2 T buttered softened

Walk With Us

Don’t let the weather scare you.  We will be walking rain or shine every Saturday Morning until July 24th.  Park on Golden where it meets Little Spokane Drive and we’ll begin our 3-mile loop on the path

This is for walkers of ALL abilities.  Walk the whole thing or part.

Here’s a little snapshot of just a few who are walking to Zion.

When you walk on your own, remember to report miles to Kim Porter (kimmporter59@gmail.com)

Keep ‘em Coming!

004

Thanks to all who filled the donations for our service project so quickly.  We will be collecting all of the items for the next 2 Sundays and then at our Relief Society Birthday Celebration on March 15th.

These donations will help in giving relief to children locally and on the other side of the world.  That night we will be assembling care packages for local children in need and the donations of cereal, formula, and receiving blankets will be much appreciated at a Chinese orphanage that is near and dear to two of our sisters’ hearts in the Greenbluff ward.

Please pass your donations to a member of the Relief Society Presidency on Sunday or drop them off at Cassi’s home.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Cassi Campbell (389-6481).

This Week’s Update

image

Relief Society Temple Trip
Thursday, February 16th we will be going to the temple as a Relief Society.  If you would like to carpool, we will be leaving the church at 10:45am, in order to make the 11:30 session. We would love to see you there.  And if you are not able to come during the day, the whole weekend is Colbert Ward Temple Weekend.  Just make sure to make your own appointment.

Walk to Zion
We had 14 walkers last Saturday.  We would love to see you any Saturday at 8am on the trail on the corner of Golden and Little Spokane River Drive.  There is plenty of parking on Golden.  The route is 3 miles and you are welcome to do all or part of that route with us.  We will be there rain, snow, sleet, or shine.  All speeds of walkers showed up Saturday, so there is always someone to walk with.

And, if you are not able to walk with us, track your walking or running miles and report them to Kim Porter at kimporter59@gmail.com.

Relief Society Birthday Service Project
As many of you may know, we are gathering supplies for a service project we are doing which will impact children locally and across the world.  Flannel Blankets, formula, and cereal are being collected for Megan Knorpp and Jessica McComas (both in the Greenbluff Ward) to take to an orphanage in China when they go to pick up their children this Spring and Fall.  The other items are for care packages for children in distress in our own community.  We will be assembling those that night.

Thank you to all who have already signed up.  We are close to our goal and here is what we still need:

3 regular-sized baby formula
1 simple flannel blanket (about 40” square)
1 stuffed animal (no larger than 6”)
12 boxes washable markers

11 small notebooks (3”x5”)

If you are interested in signing up for any of these, feel free to email Cassi Campbell at cassi@familynook.com and she will get your name on the list.
