Those who love thier idea or dream about community will destroy it. But those who love those around them will create it. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"There was a time when the Church was very powerful - in the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society" - Martin Luther King Jr.

We have begun to flesh out our dream of:
1) Building a shelter/transitional living space.
-We are currently working with three existing shelters in Kent and working, as well, directly and daily with local activists, social workers and the homeless.
2) Having an intentional community house in Kent to serve neighborhoods in need of restoration. We are almost there.
3) Aiding/volunteering in a Strickly Fair-Trade Coffee house downtown Kent - www.scribblescafe.com
4) Every week we are given the responsibilty of taking hundreds of donated bakery items ranging from bread to cakes and pies and delivering them to Social Services and Homeless Shelters.
Here's why:
-We are saying yes to getting involved in something bigger than ourselves. We are saying no to the status quo.
-We are bringing our individual talents, personalities, and resources together to create more hope, more wisdom, more love for Kent and our neighbors.
-We are finding and creating the best of the best practices and sharing those with whoever is interested.
-We are working to fight poverty, build confident kids and parents who are in crisis situations, encourage meaningful careers, restore hope for those that have been broken and downtrodden.
-We are working for true and meaningful life change. This includes us as well.
-Join us.
Since The Vineyard enjoys the delights of coffee we have become an officially registeredCertified Fair Trade Faith Community in support of Fair Trade
