What is Coffee Hour?

Coffee Hour is a monthly meeting where people gather to socialize and talk about a particular topic.

Where and when is Coffee Hour held?

Coffee Hour is held at the Café Espresso in the Borders at Arborland Mall (3527 Washtenaw, Ann Arbor) on the fourth Friday of every month, from 7 to 9 PM.

How much does it cost to attend Coffee Hour?

Shining Lakes Grove doesn't charge anything, but if you want anything to eat or drink, you will have to buy it from the café.

What can I get at Café Espresso?

The usual cafe fare: coffee, tea, pastries, etc. You can consult their web site for more info.

What kinds of things do you talk about?

We pick a topic in advance for each month. (Check Shining Lakes News or the schedule on our Web page for upcoming topics.) Past topics have included: Pagan Parenting; Love Deities; Taoism; Wine and Beer Making; Poetry; and the ever popular Pagan Views of Death and Dying, our annual topic for the October session of Coffee Hour.

If you have a topic you'd like to suggest, contact Genevieve Stoyak at gstoyak@hotmail.com.

Do I have to be a member of Shining Lakes Grove to attend Coffee Hour?

Not at all! Anyone is welcome to attend. We often have folks from the local Pagan community attend, not to mention people who see our ad in the Ann Arbor Observer and want to meet us.

Do I have to drink coffee to attend Coffee Hour?

Nope, that's just the name we use. You can drink chai, herbal tea, motor oil, or nothing at all, if you like.
