Free coffee and wifi...

Ty sent this to me this morning, and I found it interesting. If you ever need a space to do some work we have free wireless internet and starbucks coffee. So, if you are in the area of lvc, stop by, enjoy some coffee, and maybe get a little work done.

How about opening your church up?
...
What if your church had the sweetest wifi in the town, some really comfy chairs and a few friendly faces? How great would it be to have folks normally hostile to “church” be able to say, “I’m gonna go hang out at the church and get some work done.”
...
I can tell you this: if I found somewhere with good coffee or sweet tea, open spaces and comfy chairs, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Folks lucky enough to work at home, thankful as they should be, need to get away sometimes.
So bump up your Internet speed, get some decent coffee, sweet tea or pastries, and invite folks on in. This is the 21st century. Maybe it’s time that the church is a friend for the friendless, a home for the homeless and an office for the officeless.

I’ll echo his comments on working from home, sometimes it’s far more pleasant to go work somewhere else. And finding that triple threat of comfortable working spaces, good wi-fi, and readily available outlets is far harder to do than it should be. Imagine what it would mean to your community if your church was the place to find the perfect office away from your office?

Anybody go to a church that does this?
