Moving In

We are moving in today! Woohoo. It feels wonderful to be able to begin moving our things into the building on Main Street today. It's been a long time coming and this marks the beginning of an entirely new phase in the opening of Origins. I am certain that we will find new things we haven't before noticed; some that are real benefits to us, and others that introduce challenges yet un-thought of. We have accomplished so much up to this point, and now we get to see it as it all starts coming together into the real thing. What an exciting point in the process!

First Merchandise

We were so excited to receive our first box of merchandise all the way from a township in South Africa!  Inside were gorgeous and unique works of bead art by a lady named Catherine.  Our contact that is promoting this artist's works are the Stanfields (family of the Ballards and Stanfields of Haviland), who are part of a YWAM ministry there. The link to their website is www.kevandton.com  They live and work within their community in educating those vulnerable to sex trafficking, ministering to AIDS victims, and in countless other ways to reach the poor with the message of hope in Jesus.  We know that Catherine is part of their ministry and are looking forward to sharing her story in the future.


We are honored to carry a line of this art in our coffeehouse and pray that it is a blessing to those who enter, those who purchase and mostly to Catherine and the Stanfields.
