For years, the coffee at FCCLG has been given to us by various donors. Our current supply is dwindling, and is in need of replenishment. As the Ministry of Nurture considers the "Big Picture" for Coffee Hour, we've decided to ask for coffee support in several ways. 1. Though we have been a "decaf" only church for many years, we know many of you love a caffeinated option, so we will now offer both, as well as a tea option! Please join us for COFFEE SUNDAY on Sunday January 8th and 15th. Bring a bag of your favorite coffee (caf or decaf, whichever you prefer, but please make sure it's pre-ground coffee!). If you don't drink coffee, bring a box of teas. If 52 people bring 1 bag of coffee, we'll have enough for the every week of the year! 2. We would like to use this opportunity to educate the congregation about coffee justice. "Huh? What's that?" you ask. Check out these videos about fair trade coffee: when farmers are paid fair prices for their coffee beans, whole villages are able to sustain life. As a congregation of coffee lovers, we can make a difference in around the globe! Consider supporting the cause by buying fair trade coffee for COFFEE SUNDAY! |
