Introduction

Well, here goes......two bold new frontiers, blogging, and cafe worship.....

But to go back to a beginning soewhere before now, for the sake of some clarity.....
For those of you who don't know me, I'm a member of Healing & Keelby Methodist Church in Keelby, Lincolnshire, and we are in a very exciting, if scary place at the moment as a church.
Sometime in the next 2 months, the new chapel extension, aka 'Coffee Shop', will be finished (subject to finishing touches), and then we need to use the darned thing like we said we would, to further our mission into the community, which is going to involve all sorts of new, sometimes scary things, but God has a funny way of honouring what we do when we meet these scary things head on, so bring it on.

Anyway, one of the things we plan to do which will involve hopefully lots of people, but initially, probably me and some mates, is cafe worship, of some description.

Now I know there are quite a few people 'doing' this now, in different forms, in different places, and we have to find our own way of doing it, but (and maybe it's just me), but there doesn't seem to be much info 'out there' from the people who are 'doing it' about how and what they are doing, and how it's going - so, I thought it might be an interesting experiment to set this blog up, to record the progress, from a few months before, until.....

The idea at the moment, is to get the people who are going to be involved in this to contribute as we formulate plans, try things out, post some materials, ideas, resources etc we find useful or otherwise along the way, just to document the process for posterity (and to keep a record to learn from).

So, hope somebody out there finds the idea interesting, and worth keeping an eye on, but if not, at least it will be useful for those of us trying to keep track of how it goes....and I might even get to grips with the whole blogging thing along the way, you never know.

So for now, I need to go find some pics of the building work to post, and figure out how to get some fellow contributors up and running.....so please....watch this space, and join us on the journey.

ANd if anybody happens to read this and can tell me where I can find something similar from other people doing this, please let me know.

THanks.
