Homosexuality and the Bible
Do you ever wonder what the
Bible really says about homosexuality? Would you like to learn
about how people interpret scripture in different ways? Rev. Dr. Brent
Hawkes leads an insightful and thought-provoking
study of Biblical passages which are often used to inform theological
discussions about homosexuality.
Come and see the Bible in a new and refreshing
way on April 30, 1pm at MCC Toronto.
All are welcome.

and their loved ones journey through the unknown
territory of this illness.

with cancer and their partners who share their lives through a combination
of informational, networking & support meetings. All sessions are
facilitated by a professional leader.
The group meets the fourth Tuesday of every month, from 6:30pm - 8:30pm
in the comfortable Coach House conveniently located at 81 Wellesley St.
