Does simply thinking about chocolate bring a smile to your face?
Try thinking about this — hanging out at a café with friends, while enjoying your favorite hot beverage, nibbling on a brownie or a bit of chocolate pie, laughing, talking, and relaxing together — it’s a perfect gathering! Join us at Café Chocolate. It’s a bible study where we’ll focus on God’s grace, and even complete a mission project — with a bit of chocolate sprinkled on top.
Invite your friends, we hope you join us as we delight in Cafe Chocolate!
