today under our new patio sun shades I had a conversation with mike s. about his upcoming message from mark’s gospel- loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. i really like the thought that there are different ways we all express our love for God… which leads me to this great group of people i know who seriously show their love to God in tangible ways…tonight’s makeover was mostly inside the coffee shop. we found a couple of free booths in downtown dayton at a restaurant supply place that fit in this nook perfectly. while the guys installed the booths the women painted furniture and gave opinions for free.
i’m fairly jazzed at the results, especially when i remember the price tag for the booth project- less than $25.everyone worked until nearly 11 p.m. despite day jobs in the morning. these servants were cheerful as they actively expressed their love to God in the best way they knew on a hot thursday evening in july. i’d call that worship- redefined.
the new booths are fierce! this will be new space where students and adults can connect in conversation… and God will be in that place.
I love the booths! Thanks for posting the pictures. Since I haven't had a chance to stop in at the Common Grounds in person it was great to get to see how the project came together. All we need now is some . . . Bubble Tea . . .!
