Coffeelovers Community: A Worship AlternativeSpecial Announcement

Dave McLuckie, (founder and owner of Coffeelovers Coffee shop), and Steve Lane, (pastor of Redland Valley Church just outside Lewisberry) have both asked, “What is next?” Dave sought to reach out to the community and help Christians connect with one another through the coffeeshop. Steve has hoped to offer an early morning, informal worship service to reach out to the community. The two have joined forces and resources to offer Coffeelovers Community, an 8:30am worship service starting September 10, 2006 and will feature talented musicians, informal teaching, and of course free coffee. These weekly services will take place in the Redland Valley Church gymnasium. Located on RT392 (Lewisberry Rd.) Lewisberry, just south of Lewisberry, "on the hill."

Goals and Purposes

Help people connect with God through an informal setting
Draw non-Christians and those not attending church regularly
Help Christians connect with one another
Draw together talented worship leaders to use their gifts and encourage others

Coffee will be free for everyone who attends, In the Redland Valley Church gym, 8:30 to 9:30am, Sunday mornings. To draw people to church who would not visit the 10:30 worship service. Offering an alternative service in a new setting with different music is the best avenue to reach more people. This includes those who do not yet know God and others who simply do not currently attend church.

Instead of sitting in pews people will sit in chairs and at tables. Musicians and singers from area ministries will lead worship. Steve will deliver less-formal sermons including some discussion. No offering will be taken during the service, but boxes will be in the back for those who wish to donate funds. Children will be welcome at the service, and Children’s Worship will take place only at the 10:30am service. The nursery will be staffed for infants for parents who choose to use it.
