Charity, church, and Capitol Hill. You don't often get to combine those three things on a cool Wednesday summer night. Tonight, Pastor Joel Brown and his band, Kenosis, will join with U-District band King's Kaleidoscope and Espotron, from Calvary Fellowship up in Mountlake Terrace, to play a benefit show at the storied Neumos venue on Capitol Hill in Seattle. And better yet, it's a benefit concert. From Pastor Joel:

One way that we get to support the betterment of Seattle this month is by coming together to support a great organization: ROOTS Young Adult Shelter. ROOTS helps youth who have ended up living on the streets of Seattle, often having fled from abuse or mistreatment within the foster care system. Community Groups from the Mars Hill U-District have also served ROOTS through different MicroMission projects. We'll be holding a concert/worship party at Neumos [tonight] in hopes of raising as much money as possible for ROOTS. Through the course of the night, we'll also hear more about how we can get involved in serving our city through what they do.

The show is all-ages, too, so all you young-uns can come on down/up/over. You're gonna go, right? RSVP here. For more, want to know how a few church bands might approach playing a show in a decidedly un-Christian neighborhood? Check out Pastor Joel's responses to questions from Pastor Donald Zimmerman and four more Acts 29 worship pastors in this post on the Resurgence.
