To our NineHouse family,
This is one of the hardest messages we’ve ever had to write, and yet we write it with faith and deep gratitude.
Earlier this year, my husband Gabriel suffered a major stroke. Through it all, we have seen God’s hand strengthening us, and reminding us what truly matters. After much prayer, we’ve made the difficult decision to close NineHouse so we can step fully into the calling of being Gabriel’s full-time caretaker. Faith and family must come first.
NineHouse has always been more than a restaurant. Over the years, it became a gathering place, hosting meetings and get-togethers, celebrating weddings, bridal and baby showers, graduations, and birthdays, and also holding space during funerals and moments of grief. We have been incredibly blessed to share in both the joys and the tears of so many lives. Being part of those moments is something we will forever hold close to our hearts.
Before we close this chapter, we want to gather one last time and give thanks.
🎄 Christmas Eve Special the Kokonaing Way 🎄
This will be our final day of service, and we would be honored to spend it surrounded by the community God so faithfully built through NineHouse.
There will be no set prices, meals will be offered through goodwill donations, given as you feel led. Your generosity will help our family as we trust God into this next season and allow us to close NineHouse with grateful hearts.
