The
Connections coffee shop at Christ Community Chapel’s Hudson Campus has been
transformed. It is re-opening this weekend (January 24/25) as ‘Café 6:8’ in
keeping with CCC’s focus on Micah 6:8, which urges us to do justice, love mercy
and walk humbly before our God.
What does coffee
have to do with justice and mercy?
Plenty.
Each quarter, the Café will feature three CCC justice and mercy ministry
partners, both local and global. Those who make a purchase will receive a token. You can then place the token in the container
labeled with the name of the ministry you choose to support. To help you in
choosing, there will be a poster above the container describing the mission of
each ministry partner.
Tokens? Then what
happens?
Support for
the three Micah ministry partners happens. One hundred percent of the profits
from Café 6:8 will be distributed to the three ministry partners, per the
percentage of the tokens they receive.
Who benefits?
The featured
local ministry partner this first quarter of 2015 is Haven of Rest. Haven will
use funds they get from the Café to help pay for their Hope Tote Easter
outreach. Some 3,000 totes are given to homeless men and women in the Akron
area by Haven of Rest each year.
Please also
remember to pray for the more than 2,000 people whose names have been written
on the Café floor. In the spirit of ‘Why Not Me,’ we are called to pray for
those we hope will come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, and that they may
eventually visit Café 6:8 and celebrate God’s grace with us.
How do I get
involved?
Enjoy
coffee, or some of the newly added non-dairy drinks and gluten free items that
Café 6:8 will offer. If you think ‘green’ and bring your own mug, you will get
a discount. Please also keep in mind the atrium bookstore will also re-open
this weekend, featuring newly added resources, like Christian greeting cards.
Please join
us at Café 6:8 as we seek to be more conscious of ways everyday purchases can
contribute to doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly as we live out the
Gospel.
