60 Years of Cake Bake – Remembering the heart of this phenomenon is fellowship
Contributed by Lorna McNeill. Thank you to Lorna, Elizabeth Cressman and Mark Durieux for contributing photos. This September, the 60th Cake Bake took place - and it was a full production. What started as a small group of women 60 years ago who used their own mixers and raised money for mission work, has grown to a large-scale production line in our commercial-grade kitchen raising and disbursing hundreds of thousands of dollars to make our world a better place. This year, 61 volunteers made 850 cakes - 400 mini and 450 regular cakes. This project is not just about fruit...

Care of Creation – Leave the Leaves
Stewarding the world we live in Call on the animals to teach you; the birds that sail through the air are not afraid to tell you the truth.

Creator’s hand cradles the life of every creature on the face of the earth; Creator’s breath fills the nostrils of humans everywhere. Job 12: 7-10 Many native species of insects don’t migrate and need a safe spot to hibernate...

Volunteer Transformation Story from the Satellite Food Bank
August 2022 Something amazing happened at our Food Bank today. A young woman and her 3 year old child came to collect their hamper. They came from Ukraine just 2 weeks ago to escape the war. Her husband had to stay behind to fight. They are on their own and struggling to get a start in a brand new country. She was ever so grateful and thanked us profusely. These 2 were just about to walk back to their temporary living arrangement with heavy bags when another large family of about 6 arrived to pick up their hamper. The 2 families struck up a conversation and there was much laughter and...
