Ministerial Association fosters celebrations during Holy Week Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
In the week leading up to one of the most important dates in Christian tradition, the Ministerial Association in Drumheller has put together a number of events in the approach of Easter. The week leading up to Easter is called Holy Week and holds a number of traditions for most Christian religions. For the third year the Ministerial Association has cooperated on a number of events, and at the same time respected each church's custom. “This is more of a conglomeration of all the events,” said Blaine McDonald of the Ministerial Association. “Some of them are very specific to the denomination, some are open to them all.” On Tuesday night the Church of the Nazarene is hosting Christ in the Passover at 7 p.m. On Holy Thursday, The Salvation Army is
hosting a Seder dinner. This is a celebration of the Passover, which many Christians believe Jesus was participating in at the Last Supper. St. Anthony’s will be holding a mass at 7 p.m. On Good Friday at 10:30 a.m., there is an evangelical service at Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle and at noon they are hosting a free barbecue lunch. Elim Pentecostal will also be the muster point for a Walk of the Cross at 1 p.m. This is a prayer vigil walk through downtown, stopping along the way to meditate on the Passion, Crucifixion and death of Jesus. At 3 p.m. St. Anthony’s will hold its Good Friday service. On Easter Sunday
at 8 a.m., there will be a sunrise service at the Canadian Badlands Passion Play Site. McDonald said the Passion Play has hosted this service in the past, however in recent years the Ministerial Association has played a role in the service. It is followed by pancake breakfasts at Grace Lutheran Church and The Salvation Army Church. McDonald said over the last few years the Ministerial Association
has been working closer together with the assertion of celebrating their commonalities rather than dividing over differences. “The Ministerial is a neat place because we are really starting to trust one another and work together really well,” said McDonald. “I have been involved with this one nearly 10 years and it seems to get closer and closer together.”

This dessert reminded me of good old-fashioned Creamsicles! With the warmer weather slowly creeping up on us, I thought a reminder of summer time treats would be just what we need. I made this to serve at Easter. I was going to cut the recipe in half, but having an extra one in the freezer seemed like a better idea. This way, if it gets devoured and people are asking for more, I still have another one. Because it will keep for 2 months, the second one might come in handy with a barbecue dinner on the May long weekend.
• 4 cups graham cracker crumbs • 3/4 cup sugar • 1 cup butter, melted • 3-1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened • 2 cans (12 ounces each) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
15 x 10 x 1-inch pans. • Cover and freeze for at least 10 minutes. • In a large bowl, combine ice cream and orange juice concentrate until smooth. Spoon over crusts (pans will be full). • Freeze for 10 minutes or until partially firm. • Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture; gently press down. • Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. • Yield: 2 desserts (24 servings each).
Directions • In a bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Set aside 2 cups for topping. • Press remaining crumb mixture into 2 greased
May Easter bring you many blessings shared with family and friends.
I made them in 9x13 foil pans, rather than 10 x 15. I like the idea of a thicker piece and thicker crust. I also used a little more butter as the graham crust didn’t seem to have enough holding it together.
