Church Coffee Hour

Hello, just wondering which of your assemblies has church coffee hour? How it has helped/not helped, and if you would recommend it or not. I am thinking it could be a good idea for saints to get together and mingle, or for newcomers to have that casual atmosphere and whatnot to acclimate to the people. Also do you have coffee hour first? Coffee between Sunday school and service? Or after service?

Yes, we have many in prayer before each service, and many in the lobby meeting and greeting and making new friends. We teach how to greet and make yourself friendly, give a gift to every visitor get their info AND still have many in the sanctuary praying. Also, our service that has the most impact and emphasis is our Saturday night prayer service that runs all year and a requirement for anyone that ministers in our services.

Re: Church Coffee Hour

Coffee — The Wine of Islam

Most modern coffee-drinkers are probably unaware of coffee's heritage in the Sufi orders of Southern Arabia. Members of the Shadhiliyya order are said to have spread coffee-drinking throughout the Islamic world sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries CE. A Shadhiliyya shaikh was introduced to coffee-drinking in Ethiopia, where the native highland bush, its fruit and the beverage made from it were known as bun. It is possible, though uncertain, that this Sufi was Abu'l Hasan 'Ali ibn Umar, who resided for a time at the court of Sadaddin II, a sultan of Southern Ethiopia. 'Ali ibn Umar subsequently returned to the Yemen with the knowledge that the berries were not only edible, but promoted wakefulness. To this day the shaikh is regarded as the patron saint of coffee-growers, coffee-house proprietors and coffee-drinkers, and in Algeria coffee is sometimes called shadhiliyye in his honor.

This is the end times!!!!!!!!
Christmas trees, church on sunday, nothing as bad as joining the Islamic movement!!!

Re: Church Coffee Hour

If coffee is of the devil, I'm sorry y'all, but I'm simply lost. Don't waste your breath praying. It won't work.

I've been sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night, sometimes 3. I think if I quit drinking coffee right now, I'd go into some kind of a coma and wake up next month.
