As often as we hear of bars, tattoo parlors, and worse opening in our communities, it is absolutely refreshing to hear of the newly remodeled and gloriously renamed Lighthouse Christian Cafe and Vacationland Village Inn & Suites in Brewer.

What the Trundys and Bradfords have done should encourage and inspire us all.  Taking over an unwelcoming motel and bar and turning it into a family-friendly, distinctly Christian inn and cafe is a perfect example of what we Christians are called to do in this life. That they do not serve alcohol is a sure sign that they "get it," and that their businesses are, indeed, family-friendly.

So, thank you, Zach and Anna, and Ross and Cheryl.  Thank you on behalf Maine's families.  May God bless the Vacationland Village Inn & Suites and the Lighthouse Christian Cafe.       

Christians convert Brewer motel into family-oriented cafe and eatery
by Judy Harrison, Bangor Daily News

"Brewer, Maine - Zach and Anna Trundy ... live and work at the Wilson Street motel, recently renamed the Vacationland Village Inn & Suites. The Trundys, along with the new owners Ross and Cheryl Bradford, are working to transform the motel into a family-centered inn for travelers and visitors. Part of that conversion has included renovating most of the rooms and turning the basement bar into the Lighthouse Christian Cafe.

"'I felt that we should try to have a place like this cafe — a neutral place where Christians could come together in fellowship,' Ross Bradford said ... Anna Trundy painted a lighthouse on one wall to signify how Christ can be a beacon in calm or raging seas."
