Café-style Church comes to Scotby!

 

‘Café-style Church’ is emerging as a ‘fresh expression’ of church in towns, cities and villages all over the country. Those of an age to have been involved in the Friends TV phenomena will remember just how important the coffee shop was in the community. Friends socialised there, met new neighbours, and took guests there for a well-earned break. ‘Café-Style Church’ is an approach to exploring the Christian faith in a community that involves interaction, creativity, informality and an openness to connecting with people who may have different ideas, beliefs and values to your own. The Café Church model is one that is sometimes associated with alternative worship, which seeks to find new forms and approaches to existing as a church in the 21st century.

Café-style Church @ 7pm

at Scotby School

on Sunday 28 September
