Thanksgiving Food Drive

The Sharing Place Food Bank Thanksgiving time is coming up and what better way to be thankful then to share with those in need? As you are most likely aware, all food banks experience greater demands on their already limited resources at this time of year. With this in mind, Keele Street and Maple Leaf Christian Churches have decided to help “The Sharing Place”, our local food bank, by a door-to-door collection on September 30th.


A special thank you from Keele and Maple Leaf churches for everyone in our community who gave! Thanks for sharing in tough economic times, it really means a lot!

Make Each Day Count

Pioneer Memorial, Morrisburg, ON
Not too long ago, on our way back from a wedding in Montreal, we decided to do the unusual thing and get off the fastest, most boring way from point A to point B, and slow down a bit and enjoy the journey. More often than not, the opportunity to enjoy the journey is snatched away because of the incessant urgency to arrive at point B. But once in a while, life trumps everything else, particularly when it is just me and Sheewee in the car together.

So, after we had left Montreal and travelled past Cornwall, we jumped off the 401 and made our way over to historic Highway 2, which follows the shores of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Lake Ontario. Not long after getting onto Highway 2, we saw a sign for Upper Canada Village. Now I have heard about Upper Canada Village all my life, but I’ve never been to it. In fact, I didn’t even know where it was, so the discovery was one of the surprises you encounter when you make it a point to enjoy the journey.

We stopped for a while to look around. Just outside of the village is an outdoor area surrounded by walls bearing the name, “Pioneer Memorial” (see the photo). As I walked into the area, I saw that the interior of the walls were embedded with old tombstones. Old tombstones and I get along REAL well. So I spent a few minutes going through the memorial. Each wall had a different cemetery name on it and most of the gravestones went from the late 1700’s to the 1860’s and beyond.

Free Desktop Calendar

Sunday SchoolPhotography is both an escape and a place of worship for me. It is a place where I slow down and look for God.

Recently I came up with a way of sharing my stuff with you: desktop backgrounds with a monthly calendar and a scripture verse on it.

These are all original images taken by me and I will make a new image available on a monthly basis. For August I have an image taken of small river landscape in Peterborough, Ontario.

If you would like to have this image for your desktop just “right click” on the links below and then “save as” the size appropriate for your screen resolution. Then, you have to set the image as your background, of course.

If you would like another size that isn’t available you can leave a comment and I will see what I can do. –Blessings, Grant

On August 12, after our worship service we will be meeting over at Etieene Brule Park for a church picnic.

Plan to attend this time of fellowship, fun and food! Why not bring a bit extra food and share it?!
