Reply to "Stoning of Stephen ~ Lesson Ideas"

Cooking idea for Stephen

In our stay-at-home lesson for May 17 we are focusing on Stephen (not just his death, but his life as described in Acts 6 and 7).  The cooking idea for this lesson (only one facet of our stay-at-home lesson) is stone soup, based on the folk tale.  A retelling of the story can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZf60cb3Th8

We encourage the caregivers to have everyone in the household (or now a 2-household "bubble" in our area!) to contribute something to the soup and to use the soup as an opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, meat, etc.  The story is about turning a stone into an opportunity for sharing and community, reminding us that Stephen was more  than just the stones that ended his life.  His "good works" promoted the sharing and community that characterized the early Christian church in Jerusalem.

Note:  The stone used should be well washed/scrubbed and then rinsed thoroughly.  It should be too large to eat accidentally and should ideally be a smooth and sturdy rock (e.g. granite instead of sandstone).  If the only appropriate rock you have is on the small side, make sure it is taken out of the soup before it is served.
