Grace United Church - Book Traders
Book Traders takes place twice a month during Coffee Time, after our church service. Books are sold for $1.00 each, soft or hardcover. If you bring a book to trade, the cost is 50 cents. The proceeds go to Compassion Canada, a group that assists children in Third World countries. Grace United supports a child through this programme. In 2009, $350.00 was donated to Compassion Canada through this outreach.
