Our Charis Family
Lauren Tardy
Hi! I’m Lauren Tardy, one of the newest members of the Charis family. I’m excited to be on this journey
and am looking forward to the ways that God will use
these skills to bless other women and families.
I grew up in Texas (yes I’m a proud Texan) with my
parents and two younger siblings. I have one
brother who is about to graduate from college and a
sister who is about to graduate from high school.
I went to college at the University of Texas and got a
degree in nursing. After my sophomore year of
college I got married to my wonderful husband. He
worked while I finished school and soon after I
graduated we made the long move up to Pennsylvania.
We believe the Lord is leading us to move to South Asia
so we moved up to Pennsylvania for a training/mentorship
program that helps to prepare you for cross cultural
work. We plan to be in Pennsylvania until this
summer and move to South Asia sometime this fall.
I have been interested in working with mommas and babies
since nursing school and that desire has only grown in
the past couple years. When we moved up here, the
Lord provided a job with a midwife in the area working
as a nurse. I was able to do postpartum visits
with the Amish community. I wanted to get further
training and experience so I applied for the doula
program with Charis. I just started in March and
am excited to be a part of the program.
My husband and I are looking forward to being parents
one day but we are not quite sure when that will happen.
Until then I am excited to work with others who are
already there and definitely enjoy holding their babies!
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little.
Blessings,
Lauren

Charis Cuisine
Cucumber Club
serves 1
1 cucumber
1 small onion
1 avocado
salt
This made a great lunch that was both light and filling.
Enjoy! ~ Susan Oshel
Peel the cucumber and cut in half. Using a spoon or scoop,
scrape out the seed cavity and some of the flesh so that it's a
hollowed boat. Keep what has been scraped out and chop finely.
To that, add one chopped avocado and one finely minced onion.
Mix together and use this to fill the cucumber.
Many
folks ask about adequate protein, and especially the need for
complete protein if one chooses to eat vegan. We'll be
featuring more nutritious snacks and meals that provide the
nourishing benefits of carbohydrates and protein in our delicious
gardens of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds over the months to come.

'Behold, I will
bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of
the earth,
Among them the blind and the lame,
The woman with child and The one who labors with child, together,
A
great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
Jeremiah 31:8, 14
