CAFE ABLAZE Spring Blend: Red Words Rock & Reason 4:13 Praise
On March 22, CAFE ABLAZE, Lutheran Church of the Resurrection’s Christian Coffeehouse, will host red words rock band and praise and worship duo, Reason 4:13. All are invited to savor what will be percolating over the three hours after doors open at 7 p.m.
Founders Paul Ammendola and Mark Phillips named red words after the spoken words of Christ highlighted in red in some Bibles. Ammendola sings lead vocals and plays keyboard. Phillips plays lead guitar and sings. Also in the Long Island band are guitarist and vocalist Michael Perrone, Jaime Moore on bass guitar, and John Foote on drums. The band’s lyrics focus on God’s love.
Appearing onstage as well is Long Island duo, Reason 4:13, consisting of Tom Golly and Debra Soto. Drawing inspiration from the Scripture in Philippians 4:13, part of The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians, they sing popular classic hymns and contemporary Christian songs.

Consider joining emcee Pastor Jeff Browning and the many volunteers who run beautifully decorated CAFE ABLAZE the evening of March 22. The atmosphere is friendly; singles, couples, groups of friends, and families with children are welcome.
