The Kaleidoscope Coffeehouse is at First United Methodist Church, 601 E. Michigan Ave, Albion, MI 49224. We are offering live music on Saturday nights from 8 to 10 PM. Admission is free. Coffee & tea are free. Donations will be accepted and encouraged for the performing artists and to help buy supplies (more coffee, etc.).The Kaleidoscope is not the typical coffeehouse that offers exotic and expensive hot & cold coffee drinks using fancy steamers or noisy blenders. The Kaleidoscope is a not-for-financial-profit community coffeehouse. It will, by design, spawn groups or activities that will profit the community in some way on other nights of the week.That is where the Kaleidoscope concept comes in - the people, needs, resources, strengths, weaknesses, assets, surpluses, etc., of the community come in many shapes and colors. Like a kaleidoscope, these are constantly changing. It is our hope that the coffeehouse will become a rallying place for meeting to help meet some of the community's needs. On some nights, it may simply be a nice, quiet place to hang out, read, study or use our wireless Internet access. On other nights it may become the meeting place for an AA or NA group that uses part of the facilities, for example, or a book discussion group, etc. On Saturday, it's time to kick back, relax and listen to some music.The main performing room will comfortably hold 25 to 30 people in the audience. Another adjacent room has tables & seating for listening, reading, socializing, etc. That too should hold at least a couple dozen more people.If you are interested in performing, giving a helping hand or even need some help, please contact us.Any comments, suggestions, prayers, etc., would also be greatly appreciated.
