People ask me why it's so hard to trust people, and I ask them why is it so hard to keep a promise.

If you are considering a commodity contribution to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza, here are items that are currently needed:
1. Children’s summer clothes and shoes (any size-any gender)
2. Clothes specifically for young ladies ages 6-11
3. Games and crafts in Spanish

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

If you are in the Riviera Maya and have clothing or commodity contributions for our children, please contact Cherilyn Martin … all items must be sorted and sized before Wednesday delivery. Please strive to make sure all items offered are clean and serviceable.

Trust is like a mirror … once it’s broken you can never look at it the same again.

We have been blessed with gifts to benefit our children at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. We are always grateful for the assistance we receive from our worldwide mission partners. Recent gifts include:
Teresa Weatherly, Gold Star Mission Partner, TX: Children’s Food Fund
CoFC Member, QR: Children’s Food Fund
CoFC Member, QR: Children’s Food Fund
CoFC Member, QR: Children’s Food fund

Never trust someone who lies to you and never lie to someone who trusts you.

With the financial help of our worldwide Mission Partners, John and Tom were able to provide chicken, molida especial, pork, salchicha, eggs, and crema to our Cancun Christian home. With your financial assistance, Community of Faith Cancun purchases and delivers groceries to our Christian home every Wednesday.

Trust enables you to put your deepest feelings and fears in the palm of your partner's hand, knowing they will be handled with care.

This Sunday will mark the 5 month anniversary of our new location. We think you will all agree that it is the most beautiful location we have had in many years and is a great location for our family to worship.

You should trust people by their actions, not their words. A person might have a heart of gold, but then again so does an egg.

August 5th, 2012 has been confirmed as the date for our summer Pizza Luncheon? We hope to see you at California Kitchen Pizza, 12:30 PM on the 5th.

That was how dishonesty and betrayal started, not in big lies but in small secrets.

One of our church family members needs blood and we are looking for donors. If you would like to donate blood, please contact Cherilyn Martin. All donors will be greatly appreciated and it does not matter what your blood type is.

With trust comes a lot but when it leaves, it takes much more with it.

Juliette will be in charge of the Children’s Bible Study again this week and Cherilyn and Kathryn will be taking the first week in August. Ladies, the help is greatly appreciated.

It's not about who is real to your face, it's about who stays real behind your back.

This week’s pre-church fishing video will feature Flip Pallot, host of the Walker’s Cay Chronicles. Join Flip fly fishing in the Everglades. As always, there is enough fishing action to please even the diehard angler. Join us at 9:25 AM, relax and enjoy the show.

Trust is like glass. Once it is broken it cannot be repaired, only replaced.

The boat, donated to our church and to be sold to benefit Casa Hogar, is really coming together and looking good. New floors and seats are being installed this week. If you are looking for a solid water craft for inshore and light offshore fishing, please contact Tom for additional details.

Trust, like fine china, once broken can be repaired, but it is never quite the same.

Laurie Lipp offers a Children’s Bible Study Class each Sunday for children ten and under. The class is held in the showroom at the front of Plaza Tokal (our fabulous new church facility). For additional details, please contact Laurie before or after the service. She will be excited to talk to you.

Trust is like a piece of paper, once it’s crumpled, it can't be perfect like the way it used to be.

We are currently seeking someone to lead our Wednesday Men’s Group. Please contact Tom Martin at tommartinmx@gmail.com / 998-121-1316 for additional information.

Trust is a measure of the distance we are willing to travel to keep our promises.

A Wednesday Morning and a Thursday Evening Christian Women’s Study Group is also offered by Cancun Christian Fellowship. The Wednesday Group meets at the Malecon Americas Starbucks at 10:00 AM and the Thursday Evening Business Ladies Group meets at the Malecon Americas California Kitchen Pizza at 6:30 PM. For more information please contact Cherilyn Martin. 998-121-1315 / cherilynmartin@gmail.com 

Remember, Cancun Christian Fellowship always meets at 10:00 AM SHARP.

That’s it for today neighbors…WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN OUR BEAUTIFUL CHURCH FACILITY THIS SUNDAY!
