Wonder cafe in your congregation
Report from Grand Forks, B.C.
Posted August 23rd, 2007 by AMGGreetings to the Emerging Spirit Team:
I enjoyed reading the recent Emerging Spirit newsletter and it prompted me to share what we have been doing so far in Grand Forks, BC.
Right after the November 7th launch date I spent time the following Sunday talking about wonderCafe/Emerging Spirit at all three of our congregations in Boundary Pastoral Charge. I wanted everyone to be informed immediately after the extensive media coverage from earlier in the week and hear their feedback.
Life Sized Bobblehead Float
Posted October 28th, 2008 by Emerging SpiritOn Sunday, May 17th, 2008, Westminster United Church presented a life size version of the Wondercafe Bobblehead PSA to the hundreds of people crowded together to watch the Annual Calithumpian Parade, in Thamesford, Ontario.
Flags and a globe were added in order ensure the PSA fit with the "Around the World" theme of the parade, and lead to the award of "Best Themed Float". As the float went by, laughter and positive comments followed! A clever ad presented creatively to spread the message! Thank you Wondercafe and well done Westminster!
Bus Advertising

Congregations in Southwestern Ontario got together to put one of the WonderCafe advertisements on their local transit buses.
Using the Family Portrait ad, the bus advertisement asks drivers and bus passengers whether we have our priorities mixed up - and inviting them to explore the issue further at one of their local United Churches.
A great, innovative way to invite the community to explore the United Church!
