THE MEDIA MESSAGE
Vol. IV Published quarterly by BMBC Church Media Library Summer 2022
IT’S ABOUT TIME
Many of you have noticed the large wooden box that sat atop two bookshelves in the library for almost 15 years. Recently, it was moved into the audio/visual room of the library to await its opening. In 2007, the box was filled with all sorts of memorabilia and sealed securely on BMBC’s 15th Homecoming/Anniversary Day. The decision was made to open this “time capsule†on the church’s 30th anniversary in 2022. Its contents will reveal the “way we were†the first fifteen years of our existence. That time is rapidly approaching! On Sunday, September 18, we will celebrate our 30th Homecoming/ Anniversary Day. The time capsule will be opened then. Rev. and Mrs. Matt Roman will serve as chairpersons. They have selected “Jesus Is Timeless†(Heb. 13: 8) as this year’s theme. Rev. Darrell Davis will be our guest speaker. The homecoming meal will be catered by Parker’s. We look forward to a time of joy in God’s house on that special day.
“Christ is the secret, the source, the substance, the center, and the circumference of all true and lasting gladness.†-- Mrs. Charles E. Cowman Streams in the Desert (a classic devotional text)
“Make me hear joy and gladness.†Psalm 51: 8, NKJV
REMEMBER WHEN
Thirty years ago when we were worshipping in “the little church†on Corbett Avenue, we had no room to enjoy a homecoming meal indoors. When that time came, we sat tables up under the big trees and enjoyed the offerings of some really good cooks as we shared a special meal with one another. We ignored the unwelcome insects and the noise of the boulevard. Nobody seemed to mind the September heat. We were happy, together in Jesus! (Acts 2: 46b-47, NIV)
‘…sing for joy†–Psalm 5:11, NIV
MRS. BROWNIE
Back in the day, when Phillip Dobbins was “a little guyâ€, he referred to Mrs. Marie Brown as “Mrs. Brownie.†Our little congregation taste-tested her famous creations as she developed original and delicious brownie recipes (Ex.: Pecan Pie Brownies, Orange Marmalade Brownies, Island Pineapple Brownies, etc.). Young Phillip just put the two together. Mrs. Brown was the lady who always had brownies; thus, Mrs. Brownie came to be. To bake and enjoy these sweet treats, check out Marie’s cookbooks in the church media library.

WHAT’S COOKING?
Favorite Recipes from the Church Media Library Team
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Blu
Lay two pieces of skinless chicken breast side-by-side between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken until it is half of its original thickness. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap, turn the chicken pieces over, replace the wrap and pound the chicken until it is half the thickness of the first side.
On a fresh sheet of plastic wrap, place the widened chicken side-by-side again as though it were one large piece of meat. Add a layer of Provolone cheese atop the chicken. Next, add a layer of Black Forest ham on the cheese. Pick up the plastic wrap and use it to begin rolling the layers into a roll. Be sure to move the plastic out of the way as you roll. Once this process is complete, wrap the whole roll in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
While the roll is chilling, lay pieces of bacon across a sheet of plastic wrap that is about the size of the chicken roll.
Remove the roll from the refrigerator, unwrap it, and center the roll on the slices of bacon. Use the plastic sheet to wrap the bacon around the chicken roll. Bake the roll in a casserole dish at 350*F for about an hour or until the bacon is brown. Let the roll cool for about 10min. before slicing. Enjoy! --Jeanie Holbrook
Roasted Vegetables
Preheat oven to 400*F. In a mixing bowl, toss slices of your favorite fresh or frozen vegetables in olive oil (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussel sprouts okra, peppers, etc. Whatever you like!). Add salt and pepper to your taste and any other spices you enjoy. I use minced garlic and minced onion. Spread coated vegetables on a cookie sheet or shallow roasting pan. Place pan on middle rack of the oven. Roast for 10- 15 min. Watch closely! Vegetables can easily char. The longer they are left in the oven, the crisper they become. -- Mary Ann Cleaton

¼ tsp. salt (slightly less)
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 c. Rice Krispies crushed
Mix butter and cheese with mixer. Mix flour, salt, and pepper together and gradually fold into the butter mixture. Form small balls about the size of a marble. Press flat with a fork on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375*F for 12 min. --Carolyn Coates

4 qts. cucumbers
2 c. pickling salt
1 gal. boiling water
1 ½ Tbs. powdered alum
2 ½ qts. vinegar
5 lbs. sugar
