Groups

Groups...
Groups are a great inroad for us at the cafe. Apart for helping the economic side of the ministry, they are a point of connection with often a new social circle.
We often have groups if up to 15 young people arrive at the cafe and we have to get things in rapid motion to attend them all! This obviously limits our one-on-one interaction with them but also gives the opportunity to connect with the group as a whole or tell them a little bit about the cafe.

This is often an icebreaker for when individuals return to start a closer relationship with the individual and share life and Jesus authentically with them.

Today we have had lots of groups through and God is at work calling individuals and groups to a new freedom in Jesus.

Not go Ere

Now I'm not one to embrace bad grammar but we do have an in joke here about "not go". It was a Spanglish phrase coined by Sandy's cousin when I had to travel to a conference and was farewelling the family.

This time it applied to our beloved Ere who after almost two years of faithful service in the cafe has finished up her time to return to full time study and look for part time work in her area of study.

Ere has been a special blessing to us in the cafe and we have shared many special moments with her. She has been serving with us since we opened our doors in the original RenovArte Cafe and has seen God work to share the love of Jesus and as we have grown.

We will miss her funny sounds, tantrums and creative drawings on the coffees. But most of all we will miss her contribution to the team in serving the Lord.

I'm sure still still pop in to lend a hand as it's not so easy to escape the charm and love that is RenovArte Cafe.

Thanks Ere!!!
