What is stewardship? It is the job of supervising or taking care of something. Throughout the bible, God instructs us to take care of each other. This week we are taking a closer look at how we can be good “stewards of relationships”. It’s about loving our neighbours, loving our enemies, and loving God.
Stewardship is about how we live our lives and make our choices. It’s about using the gifts God has given us so we can love. STEWARDSHIP = LOVE!
Genesis 2:18 - 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
Galatians 5:13 - "serve one another humbly in love"
John 13: 14-16 - 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. 16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.

God’s Pie (A man serves pie to all the expenses in his life.) |
|
This animated film is based on an ancient story about hunger and sharing. “One Human Family, Food for All”. The “allegory (parable/story) of the spoons” teaches us that when we struggle to feed only ourselves, everyone goes hungry. But when we focus on our neighbour’s hunger, we discover there are ways to feed everyone. |

creativity that you have given me to make the world a better place.
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Ivone's Project - You Can Help |
One of our youth congregants is working on a project and is asking for your support. Ivone has been working with The United Church of Canada this summer. She is looking to apply for a grant to help her. She wrote the following; "I will be addressing the lack of clean drinking water in Indigenous communities by starting several social media accounts. Using these accounts, I hope I will be able to spread awareness, and interact with organizations, Indigenous communities, and churches to work towards solutions."
If you have any ideas or ways you can help Ivone with this project please email her at

Help provide a solution to end the water struggles in First Nation communities across Canada. According to the United Nations, the right to water entitles everyone to have access to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic use. While Canada’s water quality is ranked among the best in the world, First Nations across the country still struggle to access a safe supply.

Join us for Orange Shirt Day, September 30, 2022
Posted on Thursday September 15, 2022
September 30, 2022, marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On this day we also participate in Orange Shirt Day and invite you to join us in honouring and remembering Canada’s residential school survivors, the children who did not survive, their families and communities.
Orange shirts commemorate the story of Phyllis Webstad, a residential school survivor who was stripped of her new orange shirt when she attended residential school as a six-year-old child. In Phyllis’ words, “The colour orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing.”
A vigil will take place at the Cambridge Sculpture Garden, near the pedestrian bridge from 7-9 p.m. It will include Indigenous song and drumming, speaker Charity Fleming, and two minutes and 15 seconds of silent reflection.
Cambridge Orange Shirt Day
Friday, September 30, 2022 | 7-9 p.m.
Cambridge Sculpture Garden, 53 Grand Ave. South
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to wear orange.

“When you wear an orange shirt it’s like a little bit of justice for us Survivors in our lifetime, and recognition of a system we can never allow again.” -Phyllis Webstad
