an interesting idea of having the church as the third place. so what's a third place? your first place is home, where you spend most of the time (i hope :-) eat, sleep, be with family... the second place would either be school or workplace. so where do you go to chill and spend quality time with your friends? is your third place the mall? hope not... can church be
our third place?
check out
java joe's, a coffee place operated by
a church (they have pictures too :-) can we do something similar for
our lounge? well maybe not turn our lounge into
starbucks, but can it be a
nice comfortable living room for us to hang-out, have meetings, and as a service to the youth's (including college peeps) in pjefc?

The Jeff, what an excellent idea!! The Church has always been my 3rd Place from young. Well, as I told my dad, you rather see me going to Church then to other not so healthy places right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea The Jeff!
