The aurora community café – coffee with a conscience, continued last Wednesday. Each week, different local churches take turns to provide volunteers to serve as hosts for the café. Hosts welcome people and get to interact with the partners of the café. Aurora United Church provided hosts last week. Welcoming Arms will provide hosts this week and Our Lady of Grace will host the last Wednesday of the month. This café will operate every Wednesday from 10am – 2pm, offering employment and job-training to adults with disabilities while seeking to break down barriers that keep people isolated or separate and bring people together.

The series “Let’s Talk About Faith” will conclude today as we meet at 12:15pm to discuss the theme “God’s Glory Alone.”

The final session of The Story morning Bible study series was held last Thursday. This group met on 31 occasions. A special thank you to Marion and Bill for their leadership and to all who participated.
