Subject: Re: Christian Coffee House Author: tim [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:07:04 01/28/06 Sat In reply to: tim 's message, "Christian Coffee House" on 06:40:42 03/01/04 Mon thanks for your post, Bliss! You're right, the original post was from early in 2004. But I do believe it was a desire put in my heart by the Lord (He will give to us the desires of our hearts!). The problem, as is often the case, was that I was so eager to fulfil the desire that it became an idol. The scripture says, without a vision the people perish. I think it could also read, without a vision the desire may perish? The desire begins as a seed and if it is in keeping with the Word it will flourish with a little watering. God's will is obviously to bring His people together, but it needs to come about not by our might or by our power, by by His Spirit, says the Lord! Actually the seed planted at Trinity, mentioned above, came to fruition this past New Year's Eve. We held a Lasagna dinner at the fellowship hall and had 5 musical acts, 3 who shared original Christian material. It was a wonderful time with many different denominations in attendance including many unchurched folk, I'm sure. $822 was raised for the church from the lasagna and it has inspired me to continue to pursue, with the Lord's leading, the Christian Coffee House idea. Praise the Lord! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Christian Coffee House Author: tim (joy) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:03:47 12/07/06 Thu hello friends, well it is now approaching 3 years since the first post on this concept of a Christian Coffee House and while I have let go of trying to make things happen in the flesh, quite a while ago now, much to my surprise, but not really, God has been busy putting the people and all the pieces in place!! Imagine God doing that for His kids? I believe now, in the spirit that God has targeted Barre and not Montpelier as I had first pursued this. He has shown me that it will be a neutral ground without any particular denominational influence, but rather a place for The Church (the body of Christ) to come and lift up His name and where all the various flavors of His children can gather to share God's gifts and blessings!! this is exciting folks! prayerfully consider how God may have you get involved!
