We had no idea what to expect. I called the night before to be sure we did not need to make a reservation and talked to Martha who was warm and welcoming - she said come on down! We arrived at 5PM and were greeted by a lovely young lady - 94 years old and teaching 2 exercise classes there a week. We gave her our money and got a ticket to turn into the cook. We went into the community room and there were 4 round and 1 large rectangular tables covered in multicolored table cloths and gold vases with brightly colored plastic flowers. The tables were set with cutlery and place mats and some "Golden Oldies" playing in the background. It was open seating and the 4 of us met quite the characters! Lily was celebrating her 81st birthday and was full of energy - joking with everyone and greeting you like an old friend. What struck me was everyone was laughing and enjoying some good, old-fashioned conversation. The meal was a thicker spaghetti noodle, a good side of salad and a slice of watermelon. In addition, strawberry shortcake - served by Lily - for dessert - a deal at 5 bucks! Wine was extra for a donation to the center - they were serving a red Yellowtail. The dinners are served the 3rd Thursday of every month - next up? Pizza night! You can count on us being there again to mingle with the generations and have a good laugh. Other services they offer: Senior Programs, Preschool and other Kid's Programs, Wellness Clinic, Yoga, Zumba and Tae Kwon Do classes. Something for everyone!

More of a cult than a church in my opinion. I would not recommend this place to anyone. A very…read morefervent member of the church and I were dating to be married, he baptised me in this church, and then unceremoniously dumped me over the phone. He said jesus told him we were not meant to be together. What a convenient message and great timing since he had promised to take care of me through a scheduled operation the very next day! A few weeks later, another member called to ask me how I was doing to check up on me "post baptism" and I said well not great; I asked to be placed in a small group and they proceeded to shun me, no communication or answers to my emails and texts. I did receive one more call from a man telling me when I could attend church, since the person who I was dating attended at xyz time and abc time, then I should go exactly at "def" time. I said Wow so you are calling me post-baptism to dictate to me when I should attend? Do you have any other questions or comments for me, Mister post baptism helper person? No, he did not. I'm one of the first people baptised in their new location at Washington Park, in the flowered outfit. Pretty swanky location for a non profit. If you visit the website, the first place to click is "donate". Also, they mention simple church which good luck if you get a response from anyone for that; it did not ever work for me. As others have mentioned, this is not a thinking person's place to congregate. I have two undergraduate degrees, a master's degree, and a professional license. The singing and shiny happy people are welcoming at the onset, but if you dare speak up, question their practices, or have differing opinions, then you just might be an outcast and pushed away, as I have been.

To which they would respond "I'm not even thinking of finishing high school." or "I don't want to go to college, Ill work fast food somewhere." The drive from many students was sadly quite low and it affected many students around them. I also thought it was very odd when I had a history class taught by 3 different teachers. One teaching in Spanish, the next Arabic, then the final one in English. It was quite distracting and was an inefficient way to teach. I transferred out after a semester.
