This morning before beginning the sermon, the preacher asked if we were enjoying the coffee that is available in the basement before winter morning services (the hazelnut coffee is what encourages me to get out of bed in time for the 9am service). Then he asked us to start bringing our own mugs! He said in the near future, coffee will still be available but cups will no longer be offered. How great is that? They also recently switched from small "plastic destroyer" communion cups to the "dip the bread in the big cup" style of communion. Reasons #245-246 why I love my church.
When I was little, I remember my mom hauling a basket of coffee cups to and from church so that her sunday school class wouldn't use styrofoam. I've always been conscious of the small things you can do, but haven't always done them. So I was encouraged by this small challenge he posed to our community. Maybe the next step is recycling all those programs that get tossed right after the service?
