Support the grand piano fund BUSINESS
By David Robinson
Lead Pastor, Cannon Beach
Community Church
C
annon Beach Commu-
nity Church celebrates
the gift of music in our
local community by announc-
ing the intent to purchase
a new “concert quality”
grand piano in 2017 for the
church sanctuary to benefit
our whole community. This
season, give our commu-
nity the gift of music by
donating to the grand Piano
fund established at Cannon
Beach Community Church.
The total fund to be raised is
$50,000, for a new concert
quality grand piano. A gift of
$500 buys one of the 88 keys
of this new piano. Com-
munity Church has already
received $10,000 gift towards
this gift of music. Funds may
be designated to “Grand Pia-
no Fund” and sent to Cannon
Beach Community Church,
P.O. Box 37, Cannon Beach,
OR, 97110, or made online
at www.beachcommunity.org.
Clatsop County has a lim-
ited number of performing
arts musical venues, espe-
cially venues with excellent
acoustics, concert-quality
musical instruments, and
aesthetic beauty. One of
the favorite such venues in
the South County for music
events is the sanctuary of
Cannon Beach Community
Church located at 132 E.
Washington next to down-
town Cannon Beach. Bono
declared that “music can
change the world because it
can change people.” Cannon
Beach Community Church
has been helping to change
the world through music
since 1931, when the Com-
munity Church sanctuary
was originally built.
The sanctuary was
remodeled in 1997 with the
design help of a renowned
sound engineer, Ron Sauro,
to improve the acoustic
quality of the space for music
events. Weekly, Cannon
Beach Community Church
provides space for two of
our finest community music
groups to rehearse, including
the Cannon Beach Chorus
and the North Oregon Coast
Symphony.
These music groups
attract musicians from
Tillamook County, Clatsop
County and Pacific County.
Annually, Cannon Beach
Community Church hosts
multiple music events,
including music recitals,
solo-piano concerts, cho-
ral concerts, touring music
groups, classical concerts,
and seasonal music events,
such as the solo-piano
concerts featuring jazz piano
reflections on Christmas
carols, Wednesdays, Dec. 7,
14, and 21, at noon.
These noontime piano
concerts are offered free and
are open to the public. In
addition, the Cannon Beach
Chorus holds their annual
holiday concert at Cannon
Beach Community Church
Sanctuary on Dec. 9 at 7
p.m. Of course, the most
frequent world-changing
music offered at Communi-
ty Church Sanctuary is the
music of weekly worship,
including Contemporary
Worship (Sunday, 9 a.m.,
featuring acoustic piano,
vocals, hand-drums, acoustic
guitar, and electric bass);
Classic Worship (10:45 a.m.,
featuring acoustic piano
and organ); and Evensong
Worship (1st/3rd Sundays,
6pm, featuring acoustic
piano, acoustic guitar, and
vocals). We invite you to join
us some Sunday for wor-
ship or for a holiday concert
this Advent and Christmas
season. Aldous Huxley
expressed the wonder of the
gift of music when he wrote,
“After silence, that which
comes nearest to expressing
the inexpressible is music.”

F
olks seem surprised
when I tell them I
volunteer at our local
food pantry.
“Why do you need a food
pantry in Cannon Beach?” is
their startled question.
Well, I’ll tell you a little
about our customers at the
pantry: Client A is the elder-
ly gentleman who has spent
most of his life in Cannon
Beach. His social security
has definitely not kept up
with inflation. Even with as
much government assistance
as he is eligible for, most
months he has to choose
between purchasing his med-
ications or buying food.
The food pantry helps
provide food and essentials.
Client B is the single mom
who works locally to support
her 2 children. Even though
she works full time, she still
struggles below the pov-
erty line and has difficulty
making ends meet. When
she or her children fall ill,
she misses work. She has no
sick leave available to her,
so even missing one day of
work means cutting back on
essentials. She often falls
behind on her monthly utility
payments.
The pantry helps support
her. Client C is the disabled
gentleman in our community
who lives well below the
poverty line and struggles
to keep a roof over his head
and in groceries. Sometimes
he is too ill to come into the
pantry and we deliver food
to him. Client D is the hard
working family man who
works two jobs to support
his family. He is a “sea-
sonal worker” for our local
tourism industry. July and
August mean full employ-
ment.
When the flow of tourists
lessens, so does his work. He
may work only four hours
a day a few days a week.
The food pantry helps keep
his family fed in the down
times. He tells us there are
many days when he eats al-
most nothing so that his chil-
dren may eat. Clients E are
the homeless. They may be
passing through our town on
their way to somewhere else.
They may be living in tents
in the woods, in their cars,
THE COASTER THEATRE
PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS
or in local campgrounds.
They may work part time,
but don’t earn enough to
afford to rent, if there were
any places to rent. And there
are very few places available
to rent.
Clients F are the unem-
ployed. They may have been
downsized from living wage
jobs and have moved here to
live with friends or family
and look for work, having
exhausted all other resourc-
es. They may have worked
jobs locally, but are season-
ally laid off. They may have
worked for a now closed
business. They may not be
able to get jobs based on
their age. Clients G are the
mentally ill. They cannot get
or keep jobs. They receive
government assistance, but
there is never enough to eat.
Many of them cannot
drive so they walk to our
pantry and carry their
supplies home. Some do not
do well in the company of
others, we make deliveries to
their home. These are simple
descriptors of the many
customers served at the
Cannon Beach Food Pantry.
They are our neighbors. We
smile and wave when we
meet at the post office, bank
or grocery store. Mostly
their hunger doesn’t show.
To look at them — and you
have looked at them — you
cannot see their struggle.
The mission of the Cannon
Beach Food Pantry is to pro-
vide food and essentials to
the hungry in our community
in a loving and compassion-
ate manner.
The pantry is able to ful-
fill its mission thanks to the
generous support of commu-
nity. Our thanks go out to the
many individuals who drop
dollars and change into our
donation jars, who come by
the pantry to make a cash
donation, and to those who
mail a check to PO Box 852.
Those who place food and
essentials in barrels around
town help provide our
services. Local businesses
donate time, materials, food
and essentials. Dedicated
volunteers work hours each
week to allow us, ensuring
we are ready to open our
doors every Wednesday of
the year.
If you would like a short
tour of our facility stop by
any Wednesday from noon
to 2 p.m. If you or someone
you know is in need of a
little help every now and
then or if your home could
benefit from extra food each
week, we are here to help.
Please call us at 503-440-
8592 with questions. The
pantry is located in the old
Cannon Beach Elementary
School and is open every
Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m.
Our pantry is here to help.
