What is "Coffee Break"?
A place where women get together. They gather
in the comfort and safety of a small group and take a look
at what the Bible is all about. It's a place to come with questions
about God, about life, about relationships. But mostly it's
a place to learn and grow.
What are the requirements for attending
Coffee Break?
None. You don't need to have ever studied the
Bible; you don't need to know any answers; and you don't need
to be a part of any church or faith. In fact, the only thing
you really need is an open and inquiring mind — one that's
willing to examine what the Bible says and let it rise or fall
on its own merit.
Where do Coffee Break groups meet?
Almost anywhere. Most programs meet in a church
because it's a good central location, and because it has a
place for child care and a preschool program called Story Hour.
Coffee Break began as a morning program for stay-at-home moms
and other womaen not employed outside the home. However, as
more and more women have become employed, many programs now
have evening groups too. When child care is not a concern,
homes or restaurants are also good choices.
What's the atmosphere in a Coffee Break like?
Very informal. This is a place to come and
relax, make some new friends, and dare to be honest with ourselves
and with others. Comfortable clothes make us comfortable, so
many women wear jeans or sweats and sneakers. This is not a
place to put on pious faces because it's the "proper" thing
to do. This is a place to honestly discover who God is and
who we are before Him.
Whom
is Coffee Break for?
For
women who have needs — normal, basic
needs — woman who are struggling to make sense out of life.
They are women who
need friendship and support. Or they may need healing from
feelings of emptiness, loneliness or isolation in their lives.
Feelings caused by a broken or abusive relationship, economic
difficulties, a poor self-image, or a spiritual void in their
lives that only God can fill.
Coffee
Break is for women who desire to know God — who He is and
what He means in their lives. It is not limited by age or
experience or any othe barrier. Meeting those basic needs
through the study of the Bible will give a woman peace, joy
and fulfillment.

can I get in touch with a Coffee Break person?
