We're invited to bring friends, especially friends who are not members of any church. The Bishop would like to listen to stories at the 9:30 Coffee Hour that might otherwise not be heard, as Bishop Lee proposed in his convention sermon,

"Hearing Stories, Telling Stories" is the theme of our 2014 convention and I propose a new initiative designed to get me and the people of our diocese to listen to more stories, particularly from people who don't go to church. On visitations this year, I'm asking members of vestries and bishop's committees to invite friends they may know who are not members of any church to come for coffee so I can meet with them. I want to hear from them, listen to them, ask them what might make participation in the life of the church worth their while. No strings, no tricks to get them to sign up, no sales pitch; just an openness to what we all might learn from a conversation."

Some questions to think about:

What do you value most in life?

What do you think goes on in a church?

What would make you interested in attending a church?
