everyone is valued - DREAMSCAPING
You can contribute your ideas and start new projects at Cafe Church at any time of the Year, through the Mission Teams.
However, a particularly important time for those thoughts and plans for the community is at Dreamscaping.
Dreamscaping
Dreamscaping is a time when the Cafe Church community gathers to reflect on the past year and to dream for the future.
This community is made up of some distinct partners, who share common core values and goals. Currently these groups are:
- The Cafe Church gathering (Sunday nights)
- The Chaos Church gathering (Sunday mornings)
- The Uniting Church in Australia
In the future, other groups may join us as partners.
Dreamscaping is held over 2 weekends.
It usually involves a weekend away for sharing and community and a dinner to reflect on and celebrate the year that was.
We also hold a day long gathering where we attempt to make Cafe Church's purpose and core values explicit and brainstorm ideas for the coming year.
One part of the day involves setting our Mission Priorities. All decisions and meetings for the coming year use these as a guide and reference point.
The ideas raised at Dreamscaping are pursued and implemented by the community through the creation of Mission Teams...
An outline of what we talked about at the most recent Dreamscaping day can be found here. We will be posting more info on the decisions that were made as they begin to be put in place.
