from haiti with love

For those of you who have been with us over the past six months+ you know Kelsey has been leading us in worship. Kelsey is gifted with an amazing voice and a heart for the hurting and broken in our world. Both Kelsey and Tex (plays guitar) headed down to Haiti this past week to help with the relief work. Here is an update from Kelsey in Haiti. Which is quite very Kelsey!…

Hey Red Door, Tuesday went great.  There were literally heeps of clothing and we busted through it.  Thank you for all who helped.  We got completely through the first round of sorting.  If you wanted to help out with this sorting and were unable to, don’t you worry yourselves.  You can join us in the next sort Saturday July 10, 2010 from 10-3. If you want to get on board let me know at sarah@iamreddoor.org or just comment on the blog.

ReThreads Tomorrow

Hey Guys, this is Sarah again.  Hopefully, everyone is enjoying this great weather.  If you read the last post I wrote you know that we are currently involved with ReThreads.  Just to update you a bit…to help out with the massive amount of clothing that needs to be sorted Red Door is going to help out with a sorting day.  This Tuesday July 29, 2010 we are meeting up at the Underground at 9:45 AM to ride over to the ReThreads HQ (Fairfield Church of the Nazarene). Sorting is from 10-3, pack a lunch for the day or bring a couple of bucks to pitch in for the pizza.  If you are not able to make it to this one no need to sweat you can always come to the next one on Saturday July 10, 2010 from 10-3.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email or comment on the post. sarah@iamreddoor.org

swagger wagon

Just a heads up for any parents out there that if you were looking for a way to get that swagger back you may want to check out the latest offerings from Toyota! But seriously, how incredible is this commercial? In a world where the name Toyota is all about stuck gas pedals this is a fun and fresh reminder of an otherwise great company. Rather than a detailed explanation of all that is right about their company even though they made a mistake (yaaawwnnnn), they go straight for our hearts with some great humor. Oh the lessons that can be learned…

ReThreads 101

Hey Guys this is Sarah, I just wanted to let you in on ReThreads…ReThreads is a new free store coming to serve the Fairfield Community.  It’s purpose is to simply provide quality free shoes and clothing to those forgotten in our city. Fairfield is in desperate need of a place where the poor and forgotten of our city can come for free clothing they can be proud to wear…and we want to do this together.  For the month of June Red Door will be participating in a clothing drive. We will be collecting quality gently used clothing and shoes.  There is a special need for brand spankin new undies and socks.  No one wants your used under garments…that’s just gross.

The Grand Opening is August 14, 2010. Each time we open it is a one day shopping experience for our community.  We would love for you to join us in making this happen.

Here’s how you can get the clothes to us…

  • drop off at any Red Door Gathering or Core Team Meeting
  • drop off at any Fairfield schools
  • send in via snail mail at P.O. Box 498112, Cincinnati, Ohio 45249

Here’s how you can get involved…

  • Help us sort on either June 29th or July 10th
  • Help us with the Grand Opening August 14th

If you have any questions about getting the clothes to us or getting involved you can shoot me an email at sarah@iamreddoor.org.

sarah and chris

I am Sarah Bevard, I turned 23 on May 8th. Coincidently, that is my husband’s birthday and the day we got married. My Husband’s name is Chris Cronin he is also 23 and is a student at the University of Cincinnati and serves in the Air National Guard. I went to Cincinnati Christian University where I majored in Urban/Intercultural Ministries. (A fancy way of saying missions.) This spring I finished with up my courses at CCU and am now embarking on a new journey of my life…the internship.

meet the interns: Alyse

We asked each of our interns to send us a brief bio so you can read their story and get to know them a little bit. Here is Alyse, our design intern

the design guru of Red Door

I am going to be a junior graphic design student at Miami University. For the past couple years I have been involved with the Bridge Church. There, I am involved with leadership and music (I play keyboard in the worship band). I grew up in Toledo, but am staying in Oxford this summer to do design for Red Door and work at Miami in a computer lab. I enjoy Thai food, baking (especially bread!), art projects, and learning to play random instruments (like harp and bagpipes). I’m trying to learn how to use my talents to bring glory to God.

And here is a little bit of Alyse’s handiwork over the past few weeks for our Summer Series - “Reverse”…
