LONDON AREA
As shown above, this month we launch our monthly London area breakfast. We pray that it will a blessing to all who participate. Over the years chapter breakfasts have gone from formal, everyone in a suit with a speaker, to our present format of sit-down breakfast groups of four to fourteen discussing ways to best live out our faith in the workplace.

GRIMSBY/STONEY-CREEK/EAST HAMILTON; We can do the same in your area If you’d be interested in participating in a monthly Breakfast meeting please contact CCBF.

NIAGARA BREAKFAST
Steve Oetting a former Lutheran Pastor now a Faith-Life agent last attended and facilitated the breakfast in January. Steve passed away on February 24 at age 51. On behalf of the Niagara Breakfast we posted this condolence, “Steve was a recent but very active participant in the CCBF monthly breakfast. His grasp of scripture and the practical application of integrating faith and vocation helped all who met him live out their faith in the workplace. He’ll be sorely missed. May God be with his family in this trying time.”

VALUES
Elliot Spitzer’s downfall is all over the media. At two Chapter Breakfasts we discussed “Values” based in part on Psalm 119:11 (I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.) That one verse says more than many volumes can say about the foundation of godly values. May our walk and talk give evidence of what is in our hearts.
