coffeechallenge200I don’t know how many people are aware of the 100 ton challenge presented by UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief).  They are trying to get churches to serve free trade coffee on Sunday morning, and take the opportunity to share the difference that choice has in the lives of farmers across the world.  There is a story behind the coffee and the story is of one making a difference in the world by picking a brand of coffee.  You can even buy and sell the coffee on Sunday mornings in a display.

Coffee in churches is all the rage, but this is a perfect union of intigrating a culturally relevant product with the love of people.  Please think about ordering their products.  If you are going to spend money on coffee, why not give the money to those in need instead of Starbucks.
