Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 am our S.O.U.L. staff provides structured activities for adults. Wednesday is “Music” beginning in the church sanctuary with the singing of contemporary Christian praise songs led by Lori and her guitar, followed by coffee/snack break in the basement. Thursday is “Craft” day led by Kathy and featuring a seasonal craft usually corresponding to the Church calendar, followed by coffee/snack break. Thursday afternoon a group lunch and Bible study are available for those who would like to stay longer after craft is finished. Friday is M.A.D. (Music/Art/Drama) Friday featuring singing and skits hosted by Kathy, Lori and Heather in the sanctuary followed by coffee/snack time in the basement. All of these programmes are free and are attended by individuals in the community as well as groups of people from community group homes.
