The Grove Cafe

The Grove Cafe is a Christian Coffeehouse that is open on the third Friday of each month. We have been open since July, 2007. Located in the First United Methodist Church (Mohawk District) of Oneida, NY at 116 W Grove St. (The corner of Main and Grove)

We have hosted bands and singers such as: One Foot Forward, The Project, Christopher Ames, Kevin Thompson, Barry Russo, Mike Peling, Justin Elwell, Jesse Orton and Mason Summers. We have a great line up for this year so far: True Witness, Marvin and Gentry, Jim and Laura Byrd, and Shawn Thomas from Aaron's Rainbow Project. We want to provide a safe and friendly environment for families of all ages to be able to hang out and have some fun. Each month is a different and exciting genre of acceptable music for all ages. The admission is free, love offerings are encouraged and refreshments are available. Kevin Thompson will be appearing April 18th.

The Grove would like to announce our upcoming fundraiser event/festival: The T.I.N. Fest (Teens In Need) being held June 21, 2008-11 a.m. - 5 p.m. A variety of Christian Hip-Hop artists are performing along with youth ministers and other fun activities for teens and children. This event is a fundraiser for the Teen Programs with Liberty Resources.(such as TASA-The Teenage Services Act, STOP-Stop Teen Pregnancy and RHY-Runaway and Homeless Youth Program) The idea is to inform teens and young families about the various programs that are available to them as well as the fact that Christian music can be more than just church hymns.

Artists already booked for this event (but subject to change): Universal Soldier from Syracuse, Gospel City from NYC, Demonslayer from PA, The Lyrical Miracle from Chicago and Ebenez. Various businesses/restaurants will be onsite to offer their products. Liberty Resources will be there to offer more information about their services and there will be different activities for the kids to participate in.

Watch for more information as the date gets closer or you can log onto www.myspace.com/thegrovecafe for more information.
