Hey gang! If you're looking for some cash for the summer trips, we've ordered chocolate bars (and chocolate covered almonds!) and they will be in the Cafe this week.
Each case of bars will cost you $25, you then sell them, and you get $25 from each case you sell. If you are interested you can get a case this week but we need you to buy the case for $25 in advance. When you sell the case, bring in the $50 and we will credit your account with the other $25. It's a great way to make some money and everyone loves chocolate...just keep the almonds away from me...I love them too much!
This week (April 12) we're in the Cafe for a special night looking more closely at the death and resurrection of Jesus. It's the theme of the whole week as we move toward Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I hope you take some time this week to think about all that Jesus has done for us.
Next week (April 19) we're going to do something really special by helping out the needy people in our community by doing a Solid Rock "Rake & Run". The idea is to go to someone's house, rake their yard, bag up the leaves and do it without them knowing it. With all you guys/gals and the leaders we can get to a few houses and do work that these people would have no way of doing themselves. It's alot of fun and it does alot of good! Make sure to bring along a rake and some work gloves.
Also a reminder that we need your deposits for our summer trips by Wednesday night April 26. All the trips are on our website and space is limited so get your money in and get your seat reserved. These trips are an awesome time and we've got trips from hiking, to white water rafting to ministry trips to Nova Scotia and New Jersey. It's great stuff people so sign up!
If you ever wonder what's going on from week to week in the Solid Rock Cafe (we sure do!) check out the April, May and June calendar on our website (it's over on the right side...and down a little...a little more...there)

We also want you to know that we want your deposits for our summer trips by Wednesday April 26. All our summer trips are listed on our website with costs and all the information you need.

Bring in your deposit any week to the Cafe and the space is yours.
Summer trips are always the best times to get to know others, to test your own abilities and most importantly, to get to know God better. They are awesome trips so don't miss them!

If you came out last night you know what I'm talking about. We had two bands put on a wonderful show. First up was The Silent. What can we say? They were VERY good. Think Coldplay meets The Killers - Yeah....that's about right. They were very tight, very entertaining, and VERY talented. Want to see them again? Good News! they're the headline act at Souled Out this year! They will be a fantastic "big stage" band.
Next up was the very fun Down Here. There is debate as to whether the lead singer was actually Freddy Mercury... Highlights of their set? When the PA lost power.... They had to do some improv sans sound system. Also their "rock stars need money" was very funny.
All in all a great concert. Thanks to those who came out! Picture are up in the gallery.
Sad that March break is coming to an end? Want to end it with a bang?
This Saturday, March 25th at 7pm, the Wide Eyed and Mystified tour will be hitting First Baptist Church in Charlottetown!
With performances by The Silent, and Grammy nominated band Downhere, it promises to be one awesome rock and roll show.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at the church office for $12, or $15 at the door on Saturday night.
See y'all on Saturday night!
