IMPACT CAFE

It was great to have Impact Cafe again last night. A dynamic and thought provoking multi media presentation from Rob & Gwen Barlow, tasty cakes and loads of young people. It's the kind of event where we are beginning to see the youth inviting along their friends. Last nights event was a further encouragement towards continuing to experiment on the edge with a variety of different expressions of worship and community.Impact Cafe is an event which many folk in the main stream of the congregation neither enjoy nor support, and yet it is undoubtedly the event of choice for many others. It's important to recognise that "one size doesn't fit all" as far as worship and christian community is concerned - effective mission will involve creating space for different expressions.

I've just seen this post on jonny baker's blog and I'm wondering whether we can go one step further and have a meal as part of the cafe? Any thoughts! The cafe involves a great deal of effort from a dedicated team. Thanks to the folks pictured and many others for making it all possible.

Finally, the next Cafe is on 1st November and we're calling it WORLD CAFE. We are going to invite folk to bake cakes reflecting as many parts of the world as possible. Should be a great evening. Hope to see you there.
