Cookie Baking Night 04/08/19

Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. In attendance this evening: Ethan, Carissa, Allison, Rylar, and Enzo. For our "cookie" tonight, we made a Cookie Baking Night classic, "Spring Bird's Nests" with chocolate/p-nut butter coated chow mein noodles and candy eggs.





The favorite part is putting on the candy eggs. 




The finished product 




The snow has melted from this long, long winter, and it's a beautiful 65 degrees. Rumor has it snow is on the way later this week, so we decided to seize this opportunity and get outside for our first neighborhood walk of the year. 




Aww, friendship







In our journey through the books of the Bible, tonight we learned about the book of Ruth. As we read through verses in Ruth, we saw language all through the book that reminded us of Jesus. 
Words that stood out to us were: 

 "Bethlehem"  Ruth's husband and mother-in-law were from Bethlehem 
(the place where Jesus was born)

"Redeemer" Boaz was the family redeemer for Naomi's family 
(Jesus is the great redeemer of the world)

"Father of David" David was the great king of Isreal. 
Jesus was born into his family line and is the King of Kings.

We were reminded in the book of Ruth that God weaved a story of redemption from our sins all throughout the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament, all pointing to Jesus. 



Another Cookie Baking Night has come and gone and, as usual, a fun time was had by all.
