Fishing Season is Closed

Yes, our #FillTheNet campaign is over. With your help, we reeled in 2,280 cans of Tuna, Salmon and other fish for the Cambridge Self Help Food Bank. That’s quite a haul. Trust me, I know! Henry and I dragged all that fish back to the hall to be picked up by the Food Bank. That […]

Fishing Season Extended!

This Sunday, we will have a special service at 10:00 am to welcome Tim Gibb, our new Family Pastor. We will return to our fall schedule of services, Sunday September 17th. Our Contemporary Service will be at 9:15 and our Traditional Service will start at 11:00. We’ve decided to extend our Fill the Net Campaign […]

2000 and Counting

We passed 2,000 cans this week. Our haul for the week was 169 bringing our total catch to 2,078. 2,500 may be out of reach, but with a big week, we could reach 2,375. That would be 1,000 more than our record catch, set last year. Remember, every can supports our friends at the Cambridge […]

A Small Catch

Well, we didn’t make it 2,000 cans this week. When we hauled in our nets, our catch weighed in at 143 cans. This brings our net total thus far to 1,909 cans. Fishing season runs for another week and a half, closing on Labour Day. Let’s see if we can reach 2,500 cans. That would […]

Catch of the Day

Well folks, we hauled in 197 cans this week. Not a bad catch, but we can do better. With fishing season almost over, 2,000 cans is within reach next week. And what’s our total to date? 1766 cans. We have three weeks left, so let’s keep the momentum going. Remember, every can helps our friends […]

Tipping the Scales

Yes, this weekend we surpassed last year’s record. We reeled in 237 cans, bringing our total catch thus far to 1,569. I know I’ve told this story in the past, but I think now is a good time for a reminder of why we do these things. I spent a Thursday afternoon several years ago, […]

Oh so Close!

This week, when we hauled out our nets, we’d snagged 337 cans. This brings our catch to date to 1,332. Last year, our baby food drive brought in a record 1375 jars. We’d hoped to surpass that by August 1st, but we came up 38 short. Next week, with your help we’ll leave that number […]

995 Cans and Counting

328 CANS! That’s a big catch and yes, that puts us five cans short of 1,000. Another record haul next week and we just might reach last year’s record number 1,375. Yes, last year we collected 1,375 jars of Baby Food. This year, with your help we can get there by the end of July. […]

God’s Hands & Feet in Guatemala

A message from Alejandro Four years ago, we built a church in the little Guatemalan town of Cubulco. It was a great experience for everyone in the group who went. Now, God has blessed this little church up in the mountains, with more people. After a lot of prayers, God put a call in our […]

Taking Stock

The halfway point seems like a good place to take stock of our canpaign. Fishy spelling aside, with the 134 cans we collected this week, our total thus far is 667. That puts us a mere 4,333 cans away from Aubrey’s goal. We need to do some math, so it’s time to go back to […]

Quiet Time

Our Lord wants us to share our burdens and our worries. Last week our youth were encouraged to give their worries to our Lord. It’s a good message for all of us. We cannot add an hour to our lives through worry. Instead, by walking in faith, we can build a better future.
