Lydia's Ladle
When Jack Straub Jr. first found out about Lydia's Ladle, all he wanted to do was help. Lydia's Ladle, powered by Lydia's House, is a kitchen program that helps "empower and employ women that have been victimized by domestic violence. Through this opportunity, Lydia's Ladle is able to provide Lydia's House residents the opportunity to work in a safe environment free from the abuser, and provides confidentially located employment."
For those of you who aren't aware of either organizations, Lydia's House is located here in Saint Louis, and opened its doors in 1995 to women and children who have fallen victim to domestic violence. Through counseling and guidance, women are able to start their lives over through programs like Lydia's Ladle.
With the help of renowned Chef Lou Rook, III of Annie Gunn's and Pastry Chef Helen Fletcher, a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie was created. These Chicken Pot Pie's are created by the women who are currently being housed at Lydia's House, and now carried at your local Straub's Market.
We are beyond proud to be exclusively carrying Lydia Ladle's Chicken Pot Pie's that help build new futures for these women and children. All proceeds of the Chicken Pot Pie's goes to supporting Lydia's House. For more information about Lydia's Ladle, please visit: www.lydiashouse.org

February 15 & 22, Themes in Liberation Theology, 10:45 - 11:45am
In the early 50's and 60's, Liberation Theology developed as a movement within the Catholic Church in Latin America in light of the hope and suffering of the poor and their struggle for freedom from oppression. Gustavo Gutierrez, a Peruvian priest, wrote "A Theology of Liberation" in 1971 that located God in the midst of the poor and critiqued the structures of church and society. In the time since then, the movement has become ecumenical and international. It has inspired faithful people in many contexts to develop theologies of liberation suitable to their own settings.
Kirkwood UCC's Adult Education will explore the roots of Liberation Theology, and in subsequent sessions, variations on the theme that fit our context in the U.S.: Black Liberation Theology, Womanist Theology, and Queer Theology. Student Pastor Julie Kies will lead these sessions on Sunday mornings in the Adult Ed. Classroom.
