There are two ways to order. 

1. Go to www.gertensfundraising.com/and enter store number 369.
   That brings-up the Recovery Church Page where you can browse the flower selection and place your order.
2. Or, after Service, volunteers will be available to take your order. We have a catalog with images of all the items.​

If you can fog a mirror, you're an artistic. Come exercise it with us. If you are a practiced artist, come celebrate it with us -- give us a show & tell!

We meet on the FIRST FRIDAY of each month to try out a new genre (that have included):

• literature (including poetry, drama, story)
• visual arts (painting, drawing, sculpture)
• graphic arts (painting, drawing, design)
• sculpture
• decorative arts 

If interested, give Brooklyn a call to confirm the date and let you know the genre.

One way we serve our mission is to serve our neighbors.
​
TRC members met at Berean Cogic Church (adjacent to the State Capitol) to prepare and serve that neighborhood.

Brooklyn's presence made it a REAL ITALIAN meal.  Think about joining us next time.

Ahead of that, we were treated with a sermon about the history and magnificence of bread braking by Pastor Bryce Johnson.  Following the service, Pr. Johnson taught us the basics of brick-oven bread baking. 

Pr. Johnson has spent a lifetime working with dough and baking bread; he researched that throughout in the 1800s and early 1900s, brick ovens throughout Europe were the centerpiece of village life. Once or twice a week, the community oven was fired, and villagers brought their homemade bread dough to the center of the village to bake. As they waited for the bread, they conversed with one another, played games, and debated the day's events.

The bread nourished the bodies but it was the oven that was vital to building a strong community.

Now retired, Pr. Johnson has been key to dozens of other ovens throughout the United States.  He was instrumental in the design of our oven.
