Aarron Pina on LinkedIn: 2024 Ballet Mag Fundraiser - Presleigh (2024)

Staff and volunteers working all kinds of hours for the past several months only to have the opening held up by the ONE THING that makes a coffee shop a coffee shop - the espresso machine - held up in shipping... Health inspections, plumbing and electrical, furniture, paint, supplies, staff training, volunteer training, payroll, two months rent for a store that can't make a dime in profit to help women coming out of the most enslaving industries, until it can actually produce a cup of coffee...But, God.In God's timing, it arrived yesterday and was hard wired into the plumbing!!!Soft opening coming up. Who cares about women, loves Jesus, and wants a latte?

When is the last time you tried and someone said "Careful!" AFTER the fact?!Telling someone "RELAX" during a cold plunge is just as useless. Thanks, Blake, for telling us what to do instead!

Here's a quick favor that doesn't need to cost you anything...🥰 I'd love to shower Presleigh with some words of encouragement for her upcoming mission with Ballet Magnificat's Summer Dance Intensive:??? What if you could send her a quick phrase, scripture verse, or both as she prepares to draw near to God and grow in her ballet skills?You can!👉Go to her GoFundMe page and even if you can't do a $25, $50, or other donation, SCROLL DOWN to the "Words of Support" and leave a comment!If you CAN give, GREAT: just know that the current 2 for 1 match is almost full - gifts of $15, $25, and $50 are going to be tripled, so your $25 will mean $75 toward her current deadline this week - so... what are you waiting for? Encourage, give, or both!https://lnkd.in/escW4tdHgofund.me/27ac9055

LIFE MOVES FAST...It's easy to get so caught up in what's next, we miss out on what's "now".It's just as easy to get so focused on what's now, we forget what's eternal.Is that OK?What if you had a vivid, 3-D picture in your mind of what it's going to look like when you stand before Jesus and give an answer for your life...AND this image helped you course correct whenever you got off track?You can...Come to RiverTown Church for a "General Public Welcome", interactive theatrical event - it's called "THAT DAY" - it's a story that will entertain, educate, and CHALLENGE you to live every day with the Kingdom in mind.Join us - doors open at 6, show at 6:30.Grace and peace!ATP

Everyone who wants to live a life OF purpose, ON purpose WILL find themselves fighting a battle between DEVOTION and DISTRACTION. Wouldn't it be great to have a vivid, 3-D picture of what it will look like to stand before Jesus and give an answer for your life so you can spot when you're off track from God's purpose for your life?Oh, wait... Sounds like the one-man show, "THAT DAY"...Come join us for an encore presentation of the story that makes people laugh, cry, elbow their spouse, and make legit #COURSECORRECTIONS in their day to day walk! - Saturday, April 27, RiverTown Church, at 6:30PM!RSVP at https://lnkd.in/eqF5JznC and we'll look forward to seeing you on THAT DAY!Edmond M.
