Let's Get in the Game

by Jeremy Kiner, Co-Director

With Election Day just days away, I am reminded once again of how significant the role our local churches and pastors play in the balance of our community's health and future.

 

As pastors and leaders, we are charged with an irrevocable responsibility to be effectual in our world, leading positive change and transformation for people and families within our community.

Life After Parmatown

PIF Cafe Fundraiser

Bob Evans - Thursday, November 7

As planning and construction of the new Shoppes of Parma, formerly Parmatown, are in full swing, the future home of Community Ambassadors remains unknown and uncertain.  What we do know now, however, is an actual timeline for the closure of our space and subsequent relocation.

Please support Pay It Forward Cafe on Thursday, November 7, 2013, by dining at Bob Evans on Rockside Rd.  Open to close, 15% of all proceeds (when you present the following flyer) will be donated to help the Cafe continue to serve the physical, social, and spiritual needs of those in the Parma and surrounding area.
