8 July 2019 | T\u00fcri, Estonia [Averonika Beekmann]  <\/p>\n

T\u00fcri, a small town in central Estonia with origins dating back to the 14th century, enjoys a good birthday party. On Tuesday, 2 July they celebrated the town\u2019s birthday with a series of \u2018garden caf\u00e9s\u2019 across the town. For the seventh year running, the T\u00fcri Adventist Church participated with a ‘Book Cafe’.<\/p>\n

\"turi<\/a>The caf\u00e9 provided equally physical and spiritual refreshments with both food and spiritual books on offer. Operating from noon to 5 pm, the caf\u00e9 also added the bonus of a small concert at the top of each hour provided by youth and adult musicians from the church.<\/p>\n

A total of 178 books were shared with guests in a town that boasts of population of just over 5,000. Mall Kaaver is responsible for literature in the T\u00fcri congregation and noted that the most popular books among the 15 titles this year are the bright and colourful \u2018missionary books of the year\u2019 such as Hope for Today’s Families<\/em> and Health and Wellbeing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“We share appropriate books depending on what the guest is interested in,” Kaaver said. \u201cA number of people also said they had a book from a previous year, for that reason we always try to put something new on the table so that there is a choice for those who have visited our caf\u00e9 several times. The church also gave away free bookmarks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Estonia<\/a>Regular offerings such as Ellen White\u2019s The Desire of Ages<\/em> and The Great Controversy<\/em> are also available but many householders already have them from visiting the caf\u00e9 in previous years, receiving them from the world of Literature Evangelists or as Christmas presents from Adventist friends and neighbours.<\/p>\n

Why take part in the \u2018garden caf\u00e9\u2019 celebrations? For Kaaver it is about participation, and especially about mixing within the local community. “In my opinion, this is one thing T\u00fcri has to do,\u201d noting that \u201cit is not just for T\u00fcri, but that the town\u2019s \u2018garden caf\u00e9\u2019 is a traditional part of Estonia\u2019s summer programme.”<\/p>\n
