Easter Outreach Idea

I went searching for ideas for doing an Easter Egg Hunt with the church.  I felt like it might be a good outreach option.  We don't have a TON of space on our land outside the church, but I could see us hiding eggs all around in the classrooms and then finishing this activity in the fellowship hall area.  Here is the link to the post about an idea I like for the hunt.  The Story of Jesus Told in Easter Eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs

Don't Ever Say...

Don't ever say "Have you tried...?" to someone who has just revealed their struggle with infertility to you.  Ever.  Just. Don't. Do. It.  I promise, if they haven't tried it, they have a good reason.  If you really must offer your "expertise", the only slightly helpful way to do so is to say, "I'm sorry you're struggling.  Let me know if there's anything I can help you research since I'm [insert professional understanding here].  But no matter what, I'll be praying for you!"

For my own reference on how to cook stuffed shells once I've frozen them:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Cover bottom of pan or oven-safe deep dish with your favorite pasta sauce.
3. Place 4 shells in a single layer and cover with additional sauce.
4. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
