The Coffeehouse was AWESOME

At one point it was standing-room only!
Good food, good friends, good music, good message....




Awareness was raised about the needs in our city & at the end of the night Mission Services received some much-needed funds and canned-goods for their programs.



Thanks to 1st CRC for the use of their building.
See you next time!!!

WORD 4 the street COFFEEHOUSE

In partnership with Mission Services & Redeemer University College...
We're proud to present:

"Word 4 the Street"
a Coffeehouse to raise awareness about poverty in Canada.
March 30, 7pm @ 1st Hamilton CRC

The Lord willing, we'll do this 3 or 4 times a year at different locations, highlighting different local musicians and organizations.

Suggested min. cover charge: $5
(donations of any amount are happily accepted!)
Canned goods also joyfully welcomed.
Proceeds go to Mission Services: www.mission-services.com

Wow.
God is good... who would've forseen this when we started dreaming wildly in the fall!?

Feel free to print this poster (created by our own Angie Poot!), and post at your church or school.
