This is simply incredible.All of the church volunteers have worked SO hard to get this ready for tomorrow! Even though the forecasted weather isn’t great, this is inside, so the overflowing generosity won’t be soggy! Well done, team!

Isn’t this fabulous? Joanne and Kerry are so generous and gracious and we are so thankful they are in Cobden. We will keep supporting them (I mean, just one taste, and you’re hooked!) and are SO glad Joanne reached out to us. To everyone who purchased cookies and made a donation, thank you so much for helping us preserve our precious Sanctuary! You’re a part of us now, too! Our hearts are so full. Amazing! ❤️ Sour Jo's

First update! Our Welcome Picnic Table is underway! The kids and their “helpers” spent their SS class painting the first of their designs, and MUCH fun was had, as you can see! Next Sunday, the design will (hopefully) be completed and we will have an unveiling. This has been such a wonderful project for them, and they are really learning all about inclusion, friendship, respect and love. And, teaching us about it, too! We have some pretty wise kids. ❤️

Our fabulous Sunday School is always on the go! Mark your calendars for a FUN sundae building Friday! No need to make dessert for the family! Bring your creativity and help our kids raise funds for Camp Lauren! Hope to see you there and please share and spread the word! And you’ll be able to take a peek at our new picnic table, too!

An update on our Sunday School Picnic Table Project! The first steps have been completed by Susan and Amanda - sanding down the wood and the applying first base coat. For the next 2 weeks during their Sunday morning classes, the kids will be painting their ideas (which they shared with the congregation last Sunday) onto the table. It will be ready for a grand unveiling and dedication very soon, complete with a sweet surprise! Keep following along!

Take a look at these bright wee sparks and one of their awesome SS teachers, Susan, with their craft lesson yesterday. This is what they were learning. Their other teacher, Emily, says, “They were first asked to work by themselves to build a free standing structure, which was ineffective and people were upset with each other. Then, they were allowed to pool their resources and work together and support each other which made a better outcome.” The structure was mini marshmallows and spaghetti! Teaching how to work together, co-operate, and value each other! And after their lesson (or maybe before 😉) they were excitedly designing the NEW picnic table that will be making its debut in the very near future! We are so blessed to have such a dedicated team and eager kids! ❤️

Isn’t this picnic table neat? Trinity United in Newmarket was one of the UC congregations that painted tables for their properties last year during our 100th Anniversary celebrations. We have a picnic table - what do you think? Should we? 🤔
