Yohannan<\/a>, has been the model for numerous charities like Gospel for Asia Canada<\/a>)<\/em>, hosted a free Fall Festival for the community. We gratefully took advantage of one of the last warm weekends of the year for this event.

\"St.<\/a>
St. Cyprian BEC took advantage of one of the last nice weekends in October to welcome the Stoney Creek community for a free Fall Festival (https:\/\/www.bechurch.ca\/<\/a>).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This event featured fall treats made by parishoners, games, face painting, a bouncy castle, and the opportunity to interact with other community members. Dave Coruzzi, a local musician and guitar teacher, also provided live music during the event. Almost 150 people attended the festival.<\/p>\n

Stoney Creek is a multi-cultural community, and we were delighted to have families from different backgrounds in attendance. We love being able to share small pieces of our cultural heritage with those from other backgrounds! Sometimes we do so through teaching adults how to play checkers, or playing giant-sized jenga. Or just sharing some of our favourite fall-time snacks and treats like caramel popcorn and chocolate chip cookies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Around the world, Believer\u2019s Eastern Church parishes seek to meet the needs in their communities. Partnering with Gospel for Asia (GFA World)<\/a>, we have helped organize free medical camps<\/a> in remote areas. Also, we have been able to provide mosquito nets<\/a> to many impoverished people in various communities.<\/p>\n
