A Service Service on Sunday October 5, 2008

On Sunday, October 5, starting at 4 pm, the sol cafe will be gathering for what we call a "service service" -- our church taking our weekly gathering time and using it for worship through action. We try to do this once a month, or as the need arises, helping out with whomever happens to need help. We've cleaned toys at the children's cancer ward at the Stollery Children's Hospital, cooked dinner at Ronald McDonald House, even sorted Lego at the World of Science.

This service service will bring us back to the Salvation Army's downtown depot to sort food donations in preparation for distribution around our city, as well as any other duties that need doing. The depot is located at 9620-101A Ave (the entry door is on 101A Ave). Please let us know if you're planning on attending so that we can watch for you and/or provide you with a cell number contact in case we've already moved further into the building.

As well, we will have someone at our usual location, Cafe Dabar, at 4 pm to catch any stragglers who just drop in or who need transportation downtown. Please also let us know if you'll be meeting at the cafe so that we don't leave without you!

Hope to see you there!
