North Elk Coffee House Planning Meeting

BySt Mary Anne Admin
Blast from the Past: Canadian folksinger Tim Harrison strums a guitar during his performance at the North Elk Coffee House in March. 

For over 20 years, our church hosted The North Elk Coffee House performances. Guest musicians (primarily folk and country performers) entertained the local community in our Parish Hall, with coffee and refreshments served in a “coffee house” setting. Since its inception, funds raised (over $50,000) were given to The Meeting Ground to benefit the local homeless community.

During the pandemic, the Coffee House went on a hiatus and the Coffee House team retired. Now, a new crop of parishioners are intent on bringing back Coffee House performances to our community.

A Coffee House performance is now scheduled for Saturday evening, July 16 in the Parish House at 7:30PM. Details TBA soon!

We need the support of the parish to get this back up and running! A Coffee House meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday, June 22, 7-8PM in the Parish Hall. Please attend and see how you can make this charitable event and ongoing St. Mary Anne’s ministry a success!
