For some time now, we have made a point of serving Fairtrade Tea and Coffee at church events - and the coffee is excellent. We get it from Indigo Valley, and they supply the ground coffee and very efficient coffee making equipment. I am sure I have mentioned them before.
I find it excruciatingly embarrassing when Christian groups serve tepid instant coffee [from the cash'n'carry budget tin, which was first opened last year sometime] along with some stale crumbly biscuits. What does that say to our visitors? It is so much better to provide a decent hot drink, ethically sourced, which actually tastes good. Jesus made sure his friends had decent stuff to drink [John2:10] so should we!
I heartily recommend IV coffee. [That's Indigo Valley, NOT intra-venous, although there are some Sunday mornings...]
Should somebody tell Bob !!!! Perhaps he can pep up the Sunday Morning service for you, if that's possible.
ReplyDeleteI think serving good coffee at church (and free trade coffee, at that!) is real hospitality. Don't know why more churches don't practice it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your fishnets at church didn't get a response. Shorter skirt next time, maybe?
