Encountering the Unexpected with Uncommon Grounds
My experience at Uncommon Grounds Cafe, a ministry of Church Army, was rewarding in an unexpected way.
Church on the Street
There are no walls in the Rev. Bryan Bywater’s church. The “altar” is a folding table. The “pews” are the steps of Hartford City Hall. But he has a cross and a chalice. He has communion wafers, dipped in grape juice instead of wine for the benefit of his friends in recovery. To the population he’s serving, that’s plenty.
