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.
