News from the kitchen for the Wednesday Evening Meal program:
I think high fives are in order…
The Wednesday Meal team, along with the education staff, worship team, and the Praise Band, strives to make the Wednesday “From the Heart” program a vital part of our congregational life. The mealtimes we share on Wednesdays are a part of the ministry, mission, and vision of the church. Thanks for sharing it with us. After dinner, join us for worship every week from 6:30 to 7:00pm.
Calvary Lutheran Church, in 1994, through a process of prayer and decision by the members decided to be a shared decision/vision making, congregationally-based ministry.
On February 13, 1995, members of Calvary recommitted themselves to the mission and ministry of Christ that began nearly 50 years ago by adopting the following new mission statement, that remains as the mission of Calvary today:
Mindful of a need to worship and better serve Jesus Christ, the Vision for Mission of Calvary Lutheran Church commits this congregation to develop a dynamic, corporate worship; train laity to enhance small group ministry; energize mission and outreach programs; and strengthen youth and family ministry.
In March of 1998 the people of Calvary voted unanimously in favor of the following vision:
Maintain a strong Word and Sacrament ministry while becoming a center for youth and family enrichment.

Jerusalem Road, a bluegrass band from Colorado, will be our special guest at worship services at Calvary Lutheran Church in Rapid City, SD on March 2nd at 5:30pm and March 3rd at 8:15am and 10:15am. They’ll be playing a Bluegrass Liturgy that will inspire you and make your toes tap throughout the service. Jerusalem Road has also graciously offered to play a concert at 1:00pm on Sunday to benefit Calvary’s Wednesday School fundraising project of the year, the Feeding South Dakota Backpack program. Lunch will be served from 11:30 to 12:45, prepared for you by your Wednesday Night Meal Team. Cost will still be a requested donation of $4 per person for lunch, and a special offering will be taken for Feeding South Dakota. Did you know that $4 can fill a backpack for a hungry child for a weekend? The Rapid City BackPack Program currently provides 1,765 weekend packages of food to at-risk, chronically hungry school children. Your donation will stay in Rapid City to support this program. Please call the church office at 342-9043 or email kschleusener@gmail.com to RSVP for lunch so we know how much food to make!

Did you enjoy the S’mores Bars and Rice Krispie Treats at dinner last night?
We made 480 of each kind of bars and not a crumb was left behind. Tony’s smoked meatloaf also vanished by 6:00! Apologies to those who came to dinner for the last 15 minutes and missed out, but we hope you enjoyed the Cheesy Church Potatoes (our own special version of the hashbrown casserole) and the fruit salad and the Dijon Green Beans.
Here’s the recipe for the S’mores Bars (We made this recipe 8 times, so you will see the total amount for 480 bars in parentheses after the amount for 1 pan)
Gooey S’mores Bars
Use a 12x20x2 inch cake pans (or 2 9×13 pans). Cut 6×10 yields 60 bars.
Beat together with electric mixer until light and fluffy:
1 1/3 cup sugar (10 2/3 cups)
1 cup softened butter or margarine (8 cups)
1 tsp vanilla (8 tsp)
2 eggs (16 eggs)
Stir the following into the butter/sugar mixture:
4 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (37 1/3 cups)
2/3 cup flour (5 1/3 cups)
¼ tsp salt (2 tsp)
Reserve 2 cups of this mixture and press the remaining in well-greased pan for crust. The reserved batter will be crumbled on top later.
Sprinkle over crust and press in lightly:
4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (24 oz) (Total: 192 oz or 12#)
Drop marshmallow Fluff (or cream) by tablespoonfuls over chocolate chips:
14 oz marshmallow cream (8 jars total)
Wet back of metal spoon and use to lightly spread cream.
Sprinkle with:
2 cups miniature marshmallows (16 cups)
2 cups reserved crumb mixture
Bake 17-22 minutes at 325* convection, or until marshmallows are puffed and light golden brown. Cool at least 30 minutes. Cut into bars.

We served French dip roast beef sandwiches, broccoli salad with dried cranberries, french fries (which we oven baked), Blue Bunny Homemade Vanilla ice cream, and our very own “Calvary Made” hot fudge and caramel sauces to a nice size crowd of 500 last night. It was so busy at dinner time with making sandwiches, bringing hot fries out of the oven and everything that I didn’t get any photos taken. But since I had several requests for some recipes, I thought I’d post those even without the photos to go along with them.
French Dip Roast Beef for 600
260 pounds eye of round roasts
19 boxes (2 oz each) Lipton onion soup dry mix
19 cans regular beer, 12 oz each
19 cans beef broth, 50 oz each
Garlic flavored olive oil spray
Canadian Steak seasoning
600 Hoagie Buns, 5 inch size
Put 2 or 3 roasts, depending on size, into 19 full size, deep steam table pans. Line with “pansavers” bags to keep from having to scrub those pans later. Spray roasts with garlic spray and sprinkle with steak seasoning. Turn fat side up. Add to each pan: 3 cans beer, 1 can beef broth, 4 cups water mixed with 2 oz soup mix. Cover with foil. Cook on high fan setting in convection oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce to 375 degrees, low fan, for 4 hours. Slice thinly, put 4 or 5 ounces on each bun, and serve with hot au jus in cups to dip sandwiches into.
French Dip at Home
Beef roast, plan on about 7 oz uncooked weight per person (So get about a 4 1/2 pound roast for 10 servings)
Season roast with Canadian steak seasoning
1 can beer, 12 oz can
1 can beef broth, 10 oz can
1 can french onion soup, 10 oz can
Put into crockpot and cook 8-10 hours on low. Slice or shred when tender, and serve on hoagie rolls with the juice.
Hot Fudge Sauce at Home
12 oz unsweetened chocolate
8 TBSP butter
2 2/3 cups sugar
2 cups half and half
2 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk
6 TBSP Bailey’s
Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir constantly. Add sugar, half and half, and continue cooking until thick. Gradually add condensed milk. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Baileys. Serve warm.
“Calvary Made” Hot Fudge Sauce for 500 Servings
96 oz unsweetened chocolate
4 cups butter
21 cups sugar
16 cups (4 quarts) half and half
16 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cups Bailey’s Irish Cream
½ cup vanilla
Serve with 27 gallons Vanilla Blue Bunny Ice Cream
Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir constantly. Add sugar, half and half, and continue cooking until thick. Gradually add condensed milk. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Bailey’s. Serve warm.
A shout out and thank you to my sister-in-law, Julie, for sharing this hot fudge recipe with us. We have enjoyed it in our family for many, many years. I’m not sure what the origin of the recipe is, but maybe she’ll make a comment and let us know after she reads this post 🙂
