The Taj Mahal of Coffee Shops
Joel Schmidgall, our Pastor of Outreach, was on a community forum posting info about our upcoming Extreme Home Makeover for a single mom on Mother's Day and he found this editor's comment about Ebenezers. I couldn't resist posting it.
The new Ebenezer's Coffee Shop created by this group is the "taj mahal" of coffee shops. The basement has been outfitted to be used as theater space. It sets a new standard--difficult for those of us that are for-profits to reach. I have been negative about believing that commercial places outside of Station Place could attract Station Place patrons, but I think the quality of the "offer" at Ebenezer's will prove me wrong. I haven't taken photographs yet, but "wow" is the exclamation in order.
All I can say is this: Excellence honors God.
One of our core values is: do big and do it right. If you're going to do something halfway it's not worth doing. FYI. That core value derives from Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation. But that is also one application of Colossians 3:23 isn't it? "Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart, as working for the Lord not for men."
