Aurora Advent Christian Church, 905 N. Edgelawn Drive, will host a 25th annual pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, to benefit Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity.

The public is invited.

The menu includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee, and orange juice.

The event is sponsored by the church’s outreach committee.

Admission is $7. Children under 10 are free.

The breakfast will benefit Faith Build 2017, a partnership of 31 Kane, Kendall and DuPage-county churches to build a Habitat house in Aurora.

More churches are invited to partner in the effort. Rev. Jeff Barrett, Habitat executive director and pastor at Genesis Community Church in Montgomery, said Habitat hopes to have 50 churches partner in the project.

He said participating churches are forming a construction committee and support groups to support the build, the second in Fox Valley Habitat’s history by local faith communities.

Habitat, an Aurora-based, non-denominational, Christian housing ministry, serves south Kane and Kendall counties,

Information about Fox Valley Habitat projects and volunteer opportunities will be available.
