On September 5 at the Mac, several of the BFA'rs enjoyed meeting and greeting the hundreds who attended this years "Welcome Timmins". A gift basket was offered as an incentive to stop and talk, and all who did so were also given a BFA pen and some literature about BFA. It was a good time, and many learned that Timmins does offer many good programs and opportunities.

On Sept. 12, another group joined Joe and Joanne to again share the vision of BFA with the Northern College students during their open house. We reminded the many that we offer a free meal every third Sunday, and that there were no strings attached to that offer. Another gift basket was offered, and again the winner seemed to appreciate this token of love.

On Sunday, Sept 16th we had our Sept. BBQ which was a great hit. Not only did a good group of regulars stay for lunch, but we also saw over 15 new visitors to our premises. We do hope that these return, and enjoy our community of faith and love.
