Buchanan Co. Youth Lock-In & Higher Ground

Hi All:

Higher Ground Christian Coffee House had the privilege of attending and setting up a table at the Buchanan County Youth Lock In last night. The event was fabulous! I was in awe at the level of organization and the great events that were going all throughout the night. Belinda and Allen Honaker have truly done an outstanding job organizing the volunteers, entertainment, food, and fun. We want to especially thank Belinda for allowing us to set up a table and spread the word about Higher Ground. Great job Belinda! You are providing an incredible service to our community!

We had a great time at the event and I have the opportunity to see some old friends - in particular, Rev. Ronnie Ward and his team from St. Albans, WV! It was great to see you Ronnie! We also met some new friends in the New Life Drama Group, who performed some incredibly funny stuff. We hope to have both Ronnie's group and New Life visit Higher Ground in the near future.

I really want to recognize Ren Harman, Tiffany Watson, and Emily Ratliff for working tirelessly on Friday night at the Lock-In. You guys ROCK! Your perseverance and ingenuity were awesome - you guys actually think while you work ;) REALLY - Ren, Tiffany, and Em worked the crowd and talked to folks until 1:30 in the morning (at that point, the old guy -- yours truly -- had to quit, go home and get some sleep). Awesome job guys...

Okay...HIGHER GROUND TONIGHT! Eddie and Mary Day will be there...should be cool! BR
