Community invited to stop by for visit
(Seguin) — Sometimes in the morning, all a person needs to get going is the 3 C’s — community, conversation and coffee.
Lucky for those in Seguin, those 3 C’s can be found every Tuesday morning on the lawn of Emanuel’s Lutheran Church in downtown Seguin. Pastor Marcus Bigott says this fun 3 C ministry is meant to bring the community together for a little coffee and conversation.
“This is such a fun group. I love it. This is known as 3 C. This was a product of a whole year of conversation that we had about how do we create an inviting and welcoming community. How do we meet people where they are and one of the ideas that spurred out of this yearlong study was well part of it, is we have to get out of our building. We’ve got to get outside where people are and so every Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., we have a group of nine to 12 people that sit outside with coffee. We have a mobile coffee stand and donuts and tacos, and we greet the community – folks that walk by, students that are headed over to the Mercer Blumberg Learning Center, neighbors, cops, school bus drivers, neighbors – you name it and it’s a chance just to greet people without any strings attached,” said Bigott.
Bigott says although everyone is busy, there is always time to show people that they matter.
“There’s no question about who they are, what they are – just simply the question of do you like your coffee with something in it or do you want your taco with cheese? That’s the basic question, right? So, it’s a chance for our community at Emanuel’s Lutheran Church to just be outside meeting and greeting those who are going about their day and letting them know that people are excited to see them, excited to wave at them and wants them to know that they are loved,” said Bigott.
Again, the 3 C group can be found outside of Emanuel’s Church every Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. All are invited, and the food and drinks are free.
