DESCRIPTION:In the past people felt comfortable enough to come along to no
 rmal worship services in Church buildings if they were interested in findi
 ng out more about Jesus. That is no longer the case. The increasing number
 s of people with little or no experience of church is growing\, and these 
 people are proving unwilling to attend church services as we normally have
  them. Many people\, particularly\, but not exclusively\, our younger adul
 ts\, expressed a desire to occasionally have a form of service that was a 
 bit less formal and allowed for more dialogue and discussion.\n\nIn recent
  years the number of cafes has steadily increased to the point that now th
 ere are cafes in most towns and city areas. And they are frequented to suc
 h an extent that they become the social hubs for whole networks\, which th
 en can be described as “café culture”. Even many villages may now hav
 e more than one café.\n\nCafé Church seeks to reflect this cultural deve
 lopment by being an attempt to create a place for people who live\, work\,
  and play in our area to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed\, safe\,
  and informal discussion-based atmosphere. On each occasion we meet in the
  side aisle which is furnished with chairs and tables\; we serve coffee\, 
 tea and cakes\, etc and include a variety of activities including some for
 m of topic for discussion with more or less contemporary prayer and worshi
 p.
