We're opening late to allow our crew to attend Wednesday night Lenten

See you there (church or 58watt)!

58watt will be open Ash Wednesday...but...

...in order for the 58watt staff to attend church on Wednesday,
we'll be opening shortly after 6:00 rather than 5:30.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, but then if you live in South Louisiana,
you know that.

Our church, Trinity Lutheran, has Lenten services every Wednesday in
Lent. Each Wednesday in Lent, we take time to remember the tremendous
sacrifice that Jesus made for us, as we prepare to celebrate his
resurrection on Easter Sunday.

So, we'll be deciding tomorrow if we'll keep this schedule until Easter.

Oh - and of course - you are all invited to attend the Lenten
services, too! 5:00 and 6:30 at Trinity Lutheran on Florida Blvd
just West of Sherwood.

For the 58watt team!
Bruce

Happy New Year!

Wednesday, 58watt coffeeshop will reopen after the CHRISTmas break!
We'll be ready to go at 5:30, as usual.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and joyous CHRISTmas.
And a fun New Years.

With any luck it will at least be cool out, and a nice hot cup
of coffee (and a donut - of course) will hit the spot!

Invite a friend who needs a caring, comfortable place to hang out.

Peace!
Bruce & the 58watt staff

Dec 17 - Last chance before Christmas

As we approach the day that we celebrate our Savior's birth...

...what better way to prepare than to drink coffee, eat donuts and
talk with friends!

Come out to 58watt this Wednesday and help us get ready for Christmas.
Bring a friend.
Or two!

In Him!
Bruce and the 58watt team

PS - We will NOT be open on Dec. 24th or Dec. 31st!
We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday and then next year!

Open again...

Now that we've all eaten all the turkey we can stand...

it's time to eat some more donuts! (Sounds a bit like a Chick Fil A commercial!)

58watt will be open at 5:30 on Dec. 3, as usual.

Come out and enjoy some coffee, donuts and friendship this Wednesday!
We look forward to seeing you again!

Living in His grace! (ask us!)

A "two for one" special message

First, on Wednesday, we'll have our usual coffeeshop - coffee, donuts,
conversation and hanging out.

Second, on Friday, Jake Smith will be performing a FREE CONCERT for
us. That's Friday, Oct. 24th. The music should start around 7 pm.

We look forward to seeing you all there, both nights!

Peace!
Bruce and the 58watt team

PS - there should still be a good selection of pumpkins available,
come early and pick just the right one!

A confession!

I confess, I'm a slacker. I just checked the date on my previous
reminder and it was 4 (FOUR?) weeks ago! That's hard to believe.
I guess I've been so busy that I lost track of time.

I'm glad that God never loses track of time. He knows when is the
right time for everything! Every year, Fall comes along at just the right
time. Harvest season. The beginning of the "Holiday Season" - from
"Reformation Sunday" to "Valentine's Day".

Speaking of the harvest season, come out to 58watt early Wednesday
night. Trinity's Pumpkins Under The Oaks is set up right at our front
doorstep. You can select just the perfect pumpkin from the 1000 or
so available.

As of this morning, there were still piles of debris beside the road
and driveway, so watch carefully that you don't miss the turn!
(We've called - they've not come to pick it up!)

Hope to see you there.

A couple of weeks and two hurricanes...

Thanks be to God that Trinity Oaks (where 58watt is located) came
through the storms with no real damage! Yes, some trees were lost, but
none fell on anything important (people, house, etc.)

The big yellow and white tent is gone, too. No, it wasn't blown away
(we took it down and anchored it in place.) But now, it's covering a
gigantic hole in the home of one of our church members. Gustav knocked
a 100' tall oak right through the middle of their house and made a
hole too large for any available tarp to cover! Pastor Dave remembered
the tent - and so it serves yet another purpose.

Just so you know, (unless the power goes out again) 58watt will be
open on Wednesday, Sept. 17 from our usual 5:30 till 10ish. Our sign
(such as it was) was destroyed, too. Now, you'll have to watch for the
driveway between the piles of tree debris. The security light at the
street is still working, so that should help if it's dark.

Come on by, share your hurricane stories, donuts and some freshly
brewed coffee.
Let us know if you need anything, due to the storms and we'll see if
we can "hook you up", too!

Blessings and Peace!
Bruce and the 58watt team

Another week has already passed...

It's hard for me to figure out where all the time goes!
(OK, work and the Olympics have taken most of it this week.)

It seems like just the other day, we were up at 58watt
sharing coffee, donuts and conversation - and here it is
Wednesday - and time to do it again! :-)

We're excited about seeing everyone again tonight, and we'd
really like to meet some new people. Not that we don't like
y'all - we just need somebody to come eat donuts when you
can't be there! :-) Really, bring a friend.

Peace,
Bruce

Gold medal coffee!

Sorry about the lack of reminder or anything last week,
but I was on vacation and it kind of slipped my mind! 8^)

Anyway, we'll be at 58watt and our talented staff will be
preparing world-class coffee for you! Come talk about the
Olympics, music, coffee, etc.

Blessings!
Bruce and the 58watt staff
