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.

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 [email protected] 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! -5- -6- KAWARTHA LAKES FOOD SOURCE presents the Chiefs' Charity Pasta Feast on Thursday, Jan, 29 from 12-1:30pm at the Victoria Park Armouries.

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! 2014 ANNUAL REPORTS - Attention Committee and Church Group chairs: please note that reports (written and financial statements) are due to the Church office by Friday, Jan. 30.
