Once a month at Chedgrave from 10:00 – 12:00 on the first Sunday of the month.
|
Could be called Xpressions Café if we want to extend the brand | |
|
Soul Café | |
|
Carpenter’s Arms |
|
Three parts: |
|
Café (call it Xpresso?) downstairs in church centre. | |
|
Kidzone upstairs in church centre. | |
|
Chillzone in church. |
|
Café runs for two hours. | |
|
All Age Worship team (augmented) run the café sessions. | |
|
People can come and go as they please. | |
|
Good quality real coffee is served (buy espresso machine?) | |
|
Waitress service? | |
|
Get rid of long tables and replace with smaller square table (can fit together if longer tables needed)? | |
|
Café has no front, so everything happens from tables. | |
|
Perhaps have ten minute periods of ‘worship’—a song, a ‘thought for the day’, an ‘open mike’ slot, etc. | |
|
Video could play on (three?) flat screen monitors so that people don’t have to ‘face the front’. | |
|
Talks and open mike sessions could be displayed on monitors by using a video camera. |
|
Xpressions team run the kidzone. | |
|
‘Drop-in’ nature. Some will stay a long time, others will visit briefly. | |
|
Multiple simultaneous activities interspersed with some ‘together time’? |
|
Run by the Inspire team (assuming such a thing exists). | |
|
Ambient, quiet space. | |
|
Perhaps some guided meditation from time to time. | |
|
Perhaps a teaching zone at back of church at set times? |
These are just a few ideas to spark conversation. Once we get really open to possibilities all sorts of other things will flood in.
