Third Space
I know, long time no post. I will post some updates later....but for now, a thought. Cindy and I have been talking about "third spaces" for years (although we never really called it). Take a look at Jordon's post as well as the link on his post.
Here is the question. We spent some time this fall looking at the building next door to open as a coffee shop, but we had no money. What if we just opened the church up during the week. What if we made it a third space, serve good coffee, open it up during the day or in the evening. We have wi-fi running through the building already. What if we pumped in some music, brought in some couches an tables, and opened the church up through-out the week. I know we would need to change some stuff and secure some stuff, and have more people "working" at the church, but we could be a place for people to come, hang out, and look into things that are more "spiritual". I think that we would see some fruit from this...plus we could begin to be salt to our community, a safe place to go and hang out. Link
