Torrence and I, heard a speaker at a Catalyst Lab 2 years ago, explain that that's how Starbuck's has cornered the market.....they have become, "America's Front Porch"! Neighbors used to hang out and experience community, sippin' tea and rockin on the front porch......but now Starbucks has become that meeting place. And for the Christian, you would be avoiding the world you were created to impact, and love, if you didn't attend the new front porch! You said it sista!

I've wanted to do this for a very long time. To be part of the culture, but still not of this world and to be able to share all the great things about Christ without the threat of being preaching...but just living it. Wish there were more places like this! Love that the above church has a coffee shop to “hang out” with the public. I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time.
