Christ Church Swan Hill’s first Cafe Church was held at 5pm on Sunday 17th August. We turned the foyer of our hall into a cafe for the evening, with real coffee. The Cafe Team catered for 30 and 50 people turned up. Luckily we had catered generously. We told the bible story of Joseph and his brothers. Jon Roberts was Joseph and Don Baker and the younger people at the cafe were Joseph’s brothers.
All ages joined in our activites on the theme of Forgiveness making our hands into hearts and writing things we learned about forgiveness, around the heart. We looked in newspapers and magazines to remind us of thing to pray for and shared our prayers. It was a wonderful friendly night with everyone joining in and mistakes were part of the fun.
Our next Cafe Church is planned for Sunday 15th November but we plan to have a few other different services in that 5pm Sunday time slot before then.
