RiverBrew Makes The Paper
Friday, February 29th, 2008Last year, a bunch of guys at Riverview started a brewing ministry called RiverBrew. Make sure you check out the site because they have a lot of great information there about the Bible’s stance on alcohol.
The basic premise of the group is the enjoy God’s creation and model moderation. I love their tagline: “Quality over Quantity.” It’s a great entry point into the church for people who misperceive God as a tea-totaller.
Today, the Lansing State Journal posted an article about the ministry. I felt like Dan, Brett, and Gary really represented Riverview and Jesus very well. Good job, guys.
Here’s one quote from each of them in the article:
“We just saw this as another group where, instead of a bunch of guys sitting around wondering if people are going to ask about their feelings, they get to do something they’d enjoy doing anyway and also talk about Jesus.”
-Dan Price
“God put a lot of cool things on this earth.”
-Gary Rudnicki
“I believe [Jesus] would sit down with the people in the bar, and he would drink what they were drinking…and he would be happy to do that.”
-Brett Maxwell
