Paul will be speaking on Sunday morning at 10AM at Calvary Baptist Church in Cobourg. We'll be looking at some of the sad and tragic Bible narratives using the title, "Cautionary Tales." If you don't have a place to be for weekend worship please join us. The 237 Ball Street (one-way street south) is better described as 160 King St. E. If you've been distant from God for a season, this is a great time to come back home.

Last week Paul and Ruth were away. Imagine our surprise when we're sitting in a Mexican restaurant in downtown St. Catharine's with a woman who has a laminated sign sticking out of her purse which reads, "Retreat Centre Available for Rent Near Port Hope." Wait, Port Hope? That's our stomping ground. Why don't we know about this. (See first comment for that poster.)

Turns out that Calvary Baptist Church in East Toronto -- whose Pastor is also Pastor Ruth, but that's another story -- owns Ganaraksa Woods, a modest property where your church can hang out for a day, or a small group can even stay overnight over a weekend. Learn more at GanaraskaWoods•com and read about the available facility at the page marked "rates." You can also see the place for yourself at this Open House on Saturday the 20th.

Drop by the store anytime and with your book or Bible purchase take a free copy of Faith Today Magazine.
► What is Faith Today? This bimonthly periodical is the official publication of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) and features news, opinion and devotional articles from Canadian writers.
► What is the EFC? Think of it this way: You belong to a church, your church is part of a denomination, and for many readers here your denomination is part of EFC. (Yours may even have a direct membership.) EFC is our voice being heard on Parliament Hill, Queen's Park, and perhaps even in your municipal City Hall. However, communication is a two-way street, and often EFC interprets what's going on in our world so that local churches can best understand the issues shaping our world. EFC itself is a member of the World Evangelical Alliance, in which Brian Stiller serves as a Global Ambassador.
► Enjoy your free copy of Faith Today and consider subscribing. One current or back-issue per household.

What if the gateway to church participation and meeting Jesus doesn't involve well-planned Sunday services with great music, but starts with a yard sale where everything is free? Events like this are a way of telling the community, "We love you;" with no strings attached. Happening across Canada on the same day, Saturday June 6th from our friend Ralph's church on Vancouver Island (Highway in Sydney) to Solomon and Phoebe's church (Good News in Saint John) in New Brunswick. Locally at Calvary Pentecostal in Port Hope; see church website for donation times.

What if the gateway to church and to meeting Jesus doesn't involve well-dressed people on a Sunday morning, but kids having fun on a Friday night? The Salvation Army in Cobourg will tell you that Messy Church is the most exciting thing to happen in a long time. This is an outreach to families in their neighbourhood or a family you know that needs an outing for the young ones. Starts at 5:30 PM this Friday (June 5). Registration is required.
