Hope Clothing needs your help!

On Thursday, December 3rd our Hope Clothing Coordinator would like to hand out care packages to all of the men & women clients of Hope Clothing and the Cambridge Self Help Foodbank.  Won't you please help us?  Pictured below is a sample of what will be contained in a woman's pack.  If you could contribute one of these bags (and perhaps a toonie to help with the cost of the nice bags) it would be very much appreciated.  You may drop off these bags at Hope Clothing or to the office weekdays, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm or on Sunday mornings  Thank you for helping make Christmas a little easier for those in our community who need a llittle extra help.

A Day in the Life, November 2015

This song, adapted from the Beatles' classic, was performed this past Sunday by Corey Cotter Linforth. Thank you to Corey for sharing your passion for a better world with us:

I heard the news today, oh boy
About a city torn apart again
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I've heard this song before

They shot them inside Bataclan
They didn't notice that the times have changed
A crowd of people opened doors
Faces never seen before
Everybody is so sure that we should go to war

I read the news today, oh boy
Beirut reeling from the acts of war
A crowd of people turned away
It didn't stir our hearts
They don't look like us
They'd love to make us see

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs to get some air
Somebody spoke and I couldn't breath

Ahhh....

I saw the news today, oh boy
A child face down in the sand
And though he was so very small
We have to count them all
Now we know we don't have enough to share
“We'd love to take you in, but...”

Guess who achieved their CLUB 10 this Sunday?

An old flag

Look what I found in storage today.  There was a note on it that said, "this flag was apparently carried to war."  If anyone has the story of it, we would appreciate hearing it.
