Remember the song “making your may in the world today takes
everything you’ve got…. sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your
name.” This song expresses well the importance of living in a community of
meaningful relational connections. It’s also a fitting description of the Stillnaz Café, where conversation and connections
take place each week.
WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE
“Although the
Stillnaz café is a gathering place with refreshments, our aspiration is for the
food and drink to be secondary to the welcoming atmosphere, not only for our
Stillmeadow family but especially for visitors. It has proven to be a relaxing place
where people are at liberty to engage in meaningful, encouraging conversation.” Larry Copenheaver
RECENT RENOVATION
You may have noticed the
café has recently been renovated with a comfortable seating arrangement to view
additional closed circuit TV (still to be installed), pub tables & chairs, bench
cushions plus side tables, and a fireplace. Renovation began in February of
this year and was largely completed this month. Refreshments are now provided at
no charge but donations are appreciated.
POINT OF CONTACT
Larry Copenheaver
coordinates menu selections along with the purchasing of supplies. He also
schedules and encourages the team of committed volunteers. Please take a minute
to view the video invitation from Larry at the top of this page.
RELATIONAL CONNECTIONS
In his sermon earlier this month, Pastor Bud offered this
challenge to the Stillnaz family:
“More than anywhere else, when we gather at church our practice
of hospitality should reflect God’s gracious welcome. We are all guests of
God’s grace, and I encourage all of you to spend time in the Stillnaz café as a
gracious host, especially to our visitors.”
(Pastor Dianne will be in the Café this Sunday. Feel free to stop by to express your
appreciation for her faithful service to our children and their families)
