Volunteers from our congregation, from various other churches in the west end and from the community offer people who drop in each day a place to have breakfast a chance to visit for coffee and a chat. People are also able to pick up food on an emergency needs basis, there is a clothes room items are donated and given away free. There is always the opportunity for prayer and personal encouragement. Pantry shelves are stocked by the members of the congregation who bring non-perishable items or a cash donation for this purpose. Open Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon, it is staffed by a volunteer team who usually work the same day each week. If you are interested in volunteering in this ministry give the Centre a call or drop in any morning and speak with a volunteer staff member.
Part of a speech from the Re-opening dedication in June 2005
As you may know the C.C.C. has been part of the community since September 1992
This ministry in the community, to the community and with the community has only been possible by the hard work and enthusiasm of a handful of dedicated ministry volunteers over the first 12 years they all came from St Paul’s.
Our Mission Statement from when we first opened in September 1992
1. To be THERE………. be part of the local community.
2. In PRAYER……….. without which no valid lasting ministry can be sustained.
3. As the CHURCH……as an integral part of the over all life, worship and service St P’s
4. To serve NON-JUDGEMENTALLY…… in the name of Jesus and reaching out to all.
everyone will be welcomed in Christian love.
Over the past 2 years we have sort with God’s guidance to develop CCC ministry. The volunteer base has grown to encompass other churches and people from the community. We have partnered with Beulah, Crestwood Presbyterian, and Christ Church Anglican to further the ministry of CCC
