Drink a Cup and Do Good!


We have an awesome opportunity to bless the people of Rwanda and Fort Collins all at the same time! Epiphany will be sponsoring a Rwandan coffee tasting hosted at Nature's Own in Fort Collins on Saturday, December 3. We will be giving away sample cups of Rwandan coffee and have bags on hand for sale. All of the proceeds go to Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee, a micro-finance and Fair Trade coffee distributor. Not only is this coffee good, but $3 from every $10 bag sold goes directly into rebuilding the Rwandan economy. Not only does the company pay coffee growers a living wage (more than 3 times the amount that of other coffee brokers) but all of the profit from the sale goes into microfinance programs that enable Rwandan widows to rebuild their lives after the horrific genocide which wreaked havoc on this country just over 10 years ago. The funds are administered jointly through the Anglican Diocese of Shirya and through the Paul Rusesabagina Hotel Rwanda Foundation (and yes that is the guy from the film). So if you are in the area on Saturday the 3rd, come out and Drink a Cup and Do Good!

Thanks for Caring

Many thanks to everyone in the Epiphany family who participated in our attempts at blessing the world in the Name of Christ. Together we put together more than 20 Christmas shoeboxes to be shipped to children all over the world. We also collected enough jackets and blankets for Kashmir to fill the back of my car. Thanks again, you are the best.

Helping Kashmir


For those of you in Fort Collins, I found out today that Nature's Own are donating all of their proceeds this weekend to the relief efforts for earthquake victims in Kashmir. Additionally, they are collecting coats and blankets which the American Alpine Club will transport to the victims. I know I have 2 jackets that I don't need as bad as they do. If you find something in your closet you want to donate to the cause bring it to Epiphany on Sunday and I will get it to Nature's Own or take it to them in person. As Christians we ought to reflect the mercy and compassion of the God we serve. This is a quick and easy way to do just that.
