Free Community Coffee House Scheduled at Scio Church

SCIO - Area residents will have an opportunity to rejuvenate from winter doldrums Friday night, April 5, when a local church hosts a free coffee house with beverages, refreshments, music, games and other fun activities for children and youth, individuals, couples and families.
This First Friday gathering, which alternates monthly with a free movie night, will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Knights Creek Church, 2987 Knights Creek Road (County Road 9).
The event coincides with the church's growing Friday night children, youth and young adults group for school children and post-school youth which starts at the same times each week.
The church also hosts a number of other community activities, according to Pastor Carl Kemp.
It is offering a six-week series on "What On Earth Am I Here For?," a DVD/discussion study on determining one's purpose in life from teen to elder years.
It is narrated by Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in California, author of the long-running best-selling book "Purpose Driven Life" which has sold millions of copies and been translated into dozens of languages.  The church also is the developer of Celebrate Recovery, a Saturday night ministry offered weekly at Knights Creek.
A free Community Dinner is offered every Sunday following the church's 11 a.m. worship services, followed by free music lessons for children and adults.  A 6 p.m. evening service follows.
The church offers public prayer for individual, community, county, state, national and world issues from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. each weekday morning.  A weekly Bible study is provided at 6 p.m. Wednesdays.  Knights Creek is joining with the congregation-supported Hope Center in Wellsville during April for a prayer focus on Kids Dangers.
From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays it hosts Celebrate Recovery | Celebrate Victory, an ongoing support for individuals and youth who are struggling with all types of hurts, hangups, habits and negative life issues, with group facilitators also part of the Celebrate Recovery Inside team that offers similar support groups Tuesday nights for men and women in Allegany County Jail.
