Backyard Movie Night!

On Friday, our community members gathered to watch Pocket Hercules: Naim Süleymanoğlu — the incredible story of a Turkish Olympic champion whose strength inspired the world.

Guests arrived with blankets and chairs in hand, found their spots in the GRFS backyard, and settled in for a heartfelt evening. Laughter, awe, and pride filled the air as the film brought Naim’s journey to life. Free popcorn, tea, and coffee made the night even cozier, reminding us how the simplest comforts bring people closer together.

Because at GRFS, we believe that Love is a Verb — it lives in every smile shared, every chair offered, and every story told together.

Yesterday’s coffee break, hosted by Conrad Grebel University College, was more than just sharing warm drinks — it was about sharing warm hearts. ? Rose from Grand River Friendship Society introduced us to the volunteer-based Hizmet movement, inspired by Fethullah Gülen, emphasizing that love is a verb. Through acts of service and unity, we can transform even the smallest gesture into something impactful. ?

We reflected on the little moments that changed our lives, proving that kindness is contagious. ? A big thank you to Conrad Grebel University College for creating a space where these meaningful conversations can flourish. ??

Let’s continue to choose love, understanding, and service as our everyday actions. ?
