expresso dress rehearsal
Blog followers know that I’ve been working away, with a team, on a cafe-congregation, called expresso. Last nite we had a sort of dress rehearsal, and invited some people to join us, worship with us, and then evaluate with us.
It was a neat night – warm and thoughtful – were the 2 descriptors I would use.
The feedback was positive, and so with a few minor alterations and a deep breath we are taking the plunge … espresso – cafe church; Tuesday, 8 pm, 31 May, the couches in the foyer of Opawa Baptist Church.

This sounds really cool.
Could you expand a little on what you guys are doing? Maybe you have already, somewhere, I kinda new to your blog.

Can you post a descriptive bit about how worship happens in the cafe context – we have felt a call to it @ kn/exion – and in fact are in the process of moving toward building a fair trade cafe which will provide training for new canadians [refugees, etc.], culturally diverse music & then on Sundays will be used exclusively for worship/connecting, etc. We have few examples of cafe worship in Canada [relying more on nz & aus]. So. . . anything you can offer re specifics would be great. btw I haven’t posted anything written on the blog re cafe, but there’s a couple of renderings [for local folk]. thanks.
