Notes de l'éditeur
- Once upon a time, long, long ago and in fellowship hall far, far away—there was Coffee! And it was made in something like this
- Perhaps in a church building that looked like this! (Where my parents presented me for baptism)
- Or maybe it looked more like this (My grandparents church in Ebenezer Missouri)
- With people Who looked like this
- With Children who sang in a choir that dressed like this!!
- Now—Communal Coffee Urns became the latest technology perfected during World War II. Think…USO’s the homes away from home. Think… the commradary of other soldiers…Enjoying a bit of home, before leaving your home for a place that you have been or even seen. Same urn, same coffee—one experience This one was developed by Sunbeam for the Coast Guard.
- And when the soldiers came home….Churches were building that that fellowship hall I was talking about earlier
- But people don’t look this…if they ever did
- Instead we might see folks like this
- Or more than likely like this. And with this change in culture…thus the coffee fellowship was born to meeting every need
- And thus the coffee fellowship was born...and coffee and donuts became the 3rd sacrament right behind baptism and holy communion.
- So here is Nancy the UMW vice-president, trying her best to make coffee hour better. She was volunteered in 1995, and she is still there…is afraid that she will die serving coffee. She told me, “There I will be, keeled over the coffee mate. Please don’t serve coffee at my funeral luncheon.
- The quality of church coffee improved…and thus the UMW led the way again, being more environmentaly sound with everyone having their own cup. One major drawback though…everyone left their cups in the sink…
- 22
- We can’t help but notice the missing generation or generations… in our coffee fellowship. And maybe if we just adjusted the kind of coffee, or the hour of worship, or add a praise song or two—then we would attract missing generations to our churches again.
- Here’s the next look at coffee service—but still that wasn’t enough. People would complain if you ran out of decaf, or french vanilla. Besides what about those tea drinkers?
- So why worship? Leader again “popcorns” the participants…
- We all thirst! Some place to make sense of the world…more that just the fear of dying, that there must be more for us? We long for something to satisfy this emptiness… So I am here today to challenge you…with an answer to the question, “Why worship?”
- So pick up your lowly coffee cup…and think about the yearnings and deep thirst people have, and you have them too!
- Now let’s go back to our cup and drink metaphor
- Let’s say the that you have a thirst for a cold glass of ice tea, after some hard work
- And it is not any tea—it’s sweet tea, Just like the kind your mother or grandmother made. Maybe it’s a pitcher that says,” When life give you Lemons—go grab some sweet tea,
- But maybe it’s NOT relaxing on the front porch that you need…You need a revving up…You live a life that’s so cray, cray…you got to move, and sweet tea is not going to get you there.
- Or maybe you are being offered red bull…
- But it’s the herbed comfort of hot tea that you long for
- And what if you friend said to you…First you have to drink 20 minutes of red bull, then you can have some herb tea. And sometimes our local church worship is like that…red bull, hot tea, sweat tea and so on.
- Now there’s good stuff being prepared for this drink—for your worship service. But on Sunday morning it looks more like this…
