YUM! Cream cheese squares!
Well, we learn more at our Tuesday morning Bible study than just our awesome lessons from the book of Esther. We also find out how to make the tasty treats women bring each week for our snack!
This is my recipe for Cream Cheese Squares. It is super simple, but everyone seems to love it!
Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread over the crescent layer. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down. Pour the melted margarine over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.
Do you have a great recipe that is simple and always seems to turn out great? Post it in the comments section! We would love to hear about it.

What's new with Women's Link?
Hi Ladies,
Thank you to everyone who has been regularly checking the Women's Link blog! I'm hoping we can start updating it on a more regular basis to create some community online.
The women's Bible study is in full swing now. We are so thankful that God provided us with this wonderful study on the book of Esther, babysitters (YEA!), a great host home and an amazing group of women who gather on Tuesday mornings.
If you are looking for some direction for your personal study, the Beth Moore study would be wonderful to pursue on your own! Perhaps after we are done, we could loan out the DVDs or form another group to go through the study together.
We also will be meeting for our book club for the first time on March 2. We are reading the book, The Shack, which should provide some lively discussion! If you are interested in joining the book club, please let us know!
Finally, please continue to pray for Baby Kendall. We are so thankful that she has been improving the past few days, but please pray that God also would give her doctors wisdom in determining the cause of her breathing problems.
Please let us know if you have any ideas, comments or suggestions about Women's Link. You can e-mail us at ctcwomenslink@gmail.com.
Love,
Emily and Lara

Book club
We are starting to hear some interest in the idea of starting a book club!
The group would meet once a month in the evening to discuss books chosen by the group. Those attending the group would help with hosting, bringing snacks and deciding what books to read. We would try to read one book a month.
We would like to find out how many people are interested and then schedule a time to get together for coffee to discuss the details of the group.
If you are interested, e-mail us for more details: ctcwomenslink at gmail dot com (written as an e-mail with no spaces).
