Joseph's Java Junction

Stop By for a Cup of Joe

We are named for Joseph in the bible - the one in Genesis. In Genesis 41:41 (our address and the name of our parent organization), Joseph was iven a place of influence in Egypt where he was able to bless the entire nation.

It involved feeding - probably no coffee, but lots of food!

We also have books.

Drop by some time to surf the internet or just to talk.

Say "Hi" to me, Pastor Tom when you come in.

What is a "Third Place?"

Recently, I was asked about the concept of the "third place" as we apply it at Joseph's.

In order to understand it, one must look at the thinking and work of a remarkable urban sociologist, Ray Oldenburg and his book, "The Great Good Place."

Hopefully, these links will provide some basic orientation to why we need third places to gather, collaborate, germinate ideas, and nurture community.

More later.

 

New Digs

Joseph's Java Junction (and Jazz Joint - sometimes) is moving from the back of our campus at 4141 Ministries to the front. This will happen, mostly, while "PastorRista" Tom is on vacation in Virginia.

So, the Junction will be CLOSED from March 22 through the end of March and will reopen April 1!!!!!!

What to Read

Leaders are readers.

Where does one start?

Start with reading something.

It is better to pursue an interest and read than to worry about what you are going to read and not read at all. Procrastination is the enemy of progress of every sort.

Browse the shelves and see what catches your eye.

Then, pick it up and start reading!
