What Is Coffee Break? It is a
community Bible study program
which uses the inductive study
method. Its chief purpose is
evangelism. The atmosphere in
the groups is kept low-key: group
members are encouraged to DIS-
COVER for themselves what the
Bible has to say.
Where are Coffee Break meet-
ings held? Though there are
neighborhood groups which meet
in homes, the majority of Coffee
Break groups meeting in local
churches. The advantages include
availability of facilities for children
and the opportunity to build a
bridge from community to church.
How many churches are involv-
ed? Over twenty denominations
throughout the United States,
Canada, Australia, the Nether-
lands, Nigeria, and South Africa
have Coffee Break Bible studies.
Well over 500 churches have
Coffee Break programs.
Who attends, and when do
groups meet? Coffee break is most
widely used as a women's daytime
Bible study: however, there are
evening groups for working wom-
en as well as breakfast or evening
groups for men or couples. Teens,
young adults, and senior citizens
are also successfully involved in
some areas.
How large are individual groups
within a church? Approximately
eight to twelve is the ideal size. If a
group grows beyond that, it should
divide in order to encourage new
members. As a result, many
churches have several groups
meeting simultaneously.
What materials do Coffee Break
Groups use? Most groups use
"Discover Your Bible" materials.
These are written especially to suit
Coffee Break's evangelistic pur-
pose. A full range of study guides
and leader guides are available.
For those involved in correlated
children's ministries an organiza-
tion manual and six complete
teaching units are provided.
How successful is Coffee Break?
Very! Many ordinary church mem-
bers are being used by God to lead
others to Jesus Christ. Many
churches that have evangelistic
Coffee Breaks have increased their
membership significantl:s. Lead-
ers and group members alike
experience a closer walk with the
Lord and desire to share their joy
with others.
Are group leaders trained? Yes
there are workshops offered in the
use of the inductive method and
outreach: There is going to be a
"Basic Leadership Workshop"
held at the Blyth Christian Reform-
ed Church on Thursday, November
21 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
What about the children of
women who attend Coffee Break?
Most churches that have a wo-
men's daytime program provide a
structured story hour for three-to
five year olds, as well as a nursery
for infants and toddlers. Well-run
children's programs are an excel-
lent complement to the women's
Bible study. There is going to be a
story hour workshop held at the
Blyth Christian Reformed Church
on Wednesay evening, November
20 from 7:00-10:00 p.m. Partici-
pants will experience putting
together a unified, creative child-
ren's hour with story, crafts,
songs, and finger plays. A story
hour session through the eyes of a 3
to 5 year old. You can benefit from
this training whether you intend to
work with this program or develop
your gifts in the area of teaching
Sunday school, VBS, or any
preschool program. For additonal
information please - call Carolyn
Gelwicks at 523-9233 or Anneke
Pardys at 523-9266. Registration
should be in by November 6.
