FEED A FAMILY EACH WEEK


We know that the Cambridge Food Bank struggles in the summer to provide food for people who need help. Trillium has a history of assisting every summer. This summer our theme is: FEED A FAMILY


Every Sunday during July and August you will find an empty bread basket on the table at the front of the sanctuary. SC&O Team challenge you to help fill it to overflowing each week with your donations. Our goal, with your help, is to collect enough food each Sunday to feed one family for one day.


Thank you for helping our community by supporting our campaign for Cambridge Food Bank this summer!

When the People Pray: An Invitation to Intercede for Your Pastor and Your Church

Thom S Rainer

 

"Will you pray for me?" is a question pastors hear every day. But when have you heard a pastor ask that question for themselves? Frankly, it's rare. 


In this book, there are thirty reflections and thirty prayers that give church members a glimpse into the struggles most pastors face and helps them pray in specific ways.


Please join us for an exciting 30-day person practice starting on August 1st. Just 15-20 minutes each day. We will meet weekly for the 4 Sundays in August to share discussion about the previous week’s reflections.


Sunday morning

9-10 am

Central Park (on the Preston School House side)

Inclement weather - Trillium Room

Bring your copy of ‘When the People Pray’, your Bible and your lawn chair

Should the cost of the book be a barrier to your participation please speak to Dawn or Sally

Sign up required before 28 July 2024

Contact Dawn (519-404-2743) or Sally (519-546-4849)

July 28th – Information meeting and Question and Answer. We will answer the question, “Why are we even thinking about doing this?” 

August 11th - We will focus on, “How would we make this work?” Again, there will be a Q & A.

August 18th - We will vote at this meeting.

Just Like Family

We would like to thank everyone who attended the original meeting on June 9th.We recognize that we may not have been as prepared for that meeting as we should have been. We listened to your questions and feedback and would like to approach this idea with the congregation again. 


We invite you to attend the following meetings. All meetings will begin at Noon in the Sanctuary and food will be provided. We hope to keep the meetings to within an hour in length.

News From the Stone Church Bookstore


Nourishing Body and Soul


The Stone Church Bookstore is experimenting with new hours and will be open on Wednesday's from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. so that we can be open while the Preston Farmers' Market is open. The Market opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 2 p.m. and will do so until the fall.


The bookstore opened this week for the first time on Wednesday and the results were very encouraging, so we plan to be open on Wednesdays for the rest of the summer season. The bookstore is also open Sundays from 12 to 2 p.m.


We hope people will look to Wednesdays for a mind and body experience. Go to the market to nourish the body and then come to the bookstore to nourish the mind. The bookstore has about 3,000 books and continues to bring new ones in so there is always something new for readers.
