those in need, and to be welcoming to all.”

KING'S CAFÉ - Thanks in-part to the Outreach Committee of CSUC,
King Albert Public School has created the King's Café. This is a
classroom transformed with comfy seating where parents and
caregivers can enjoy coffee, tea and even a light breakfast. It allows
a welcoming space where parents can speak with staff and connect
with various community partners. . The café is open from 8;30-9am,
a time when the children are supervised outside. This is just
another example of how our church is making an impact on the
families in our community.
WALTER AULD FELLOWSHIP LUNCH –Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 12 noon.
$10.00. Plan to attend this time of fellowship for adults to enjoy a
meal with friends and new acquaintances. Guest speakers will be
Doreen Sinclair and Emily Ferguson from HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. If
you wish to attend and don’t receive a phone call, please contact
Carole Tully 705-324-4888 or Pam in the office by Jan.23.
HELP A REFUGEE FAMILY TO A BETTER LIFE - You can be part of a
team working on a plan to sponsor a refugee family in hopes of
providing them with a safer, more productive life here. Sarah and
Karl Repka are providing leadership, with considerable support from
the United Church. All applicants are screened and cleared by the
federal government, which also funds six months of the year-long
commitment. Our group has decided we’d like to sponsor a family
with up to three children. Many people have volunteered to look
into crucial areas such as housing, language training, procuring
furniture and household items, education for any children,
employment and more. The project has already garnered $7,100 in
pledges toward a goal of $15,000 for our potential six-month
financial commitment. This is a truly exciting and meaningful way to
live out our mission statement “to share with those in need, and to
be welcoming to all.” You are invited to be a part of this project by
taking on one of the small areas of responsibility remaining. Please
speak to Sarah or Karl in person or at karlandsarahrepka@gmail.com
or contact Nancy Payne to find out how you can help.
WAYS THAT YOU CAN HELP YOUR CHURCH
There are a countless number of ways that any of us can assist
Cambridge Street United Church in working towards the
fulfillment of its mission. The Stewardship Committee
presents a weekly suggestion on how you can help your
church:
→Get Involved Musically
For those who are musically inclined, our Church offers a
number of ways to put your talents to work for the enjoyment
and pleasure of the entire congregation.
CSUC’s music program includes opportunities for people to
be a part of the Adult Choir, the Voices of Victory youth
choirs, the Cherub Choir for younger children, the bell choir,
the Praise Band that performs once/month in Sunday services,
and for anyone to sing or perform during worship services
throughout the year. The talent in our congregation is
significant, and the ways that you can put your ability to work
to help are practically unlimited.
For further information about any musical elements of our
Church life, speak with Erwin or Angelique Stroobach, or Rev.
Paul Reed at any time. They would be very happy to discuss
how you can be involved!

WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR? There are so many wonderful things
that happen over the course of the year at our busy church that we
don’t always remember them all. That’s why you’ll find a Gratitude
Jar located on the table outside the church office. It will stay there all
year, along with some slips of paper. Any time something happens
that you’re grateful for or someone does something you appreciate
or you want to thank a person or group for anything connected with
the life of Cambridge Street United Church, take a moment to write
it on a piece of paper and drop it in the jar. You don’t have to sign it
if you don’t want to. We’ll dip in periodically to share those happy
memories and remind ourselves of how very lucky we are to be part
of this active, caring church family!
