This morning I had the pleasure of enjoying coffee with a large group of the men from the church at a wonderful little coffee shop in Raytown called City Grounds. We learned that City Grounds would be closing this week, and hopefully resurrecting at another location in the near future.
It was fun watching the banter between the guys. What I found very interesting was how everyone knows everyone else's story! This is fellowship at its finest!! Macho men drinking coffee and caring for one another. (It is also awesome that many of these macho guys left the coffee shop to care for the grass at the church and at the parsonage!!)
This is what Christian community is about, sharing lives outside of the church building. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could break down all the barriers that keep the world from having coffee together every Wednesday morning? Reaching out to one another, teasing one another in love, offering each other assistance, loving one another.
Something to think about over a cup of coffee......
