Connection Cafe

Welcome to the Connection Cafe! 

About the Connection Cafe

The Connection Cafe is not necessarily a cafe serving coffee, though the staff offered a real, coffee-serving cafe with opportunities to share and learn about the United Methodist Connection in Western Pennsylvania. That cafe was at the 2010 Annual Conference at Grove City College, June 10-13. This part of the Internet is about sharing resources, ideas and more on many topics of interest to United Methodists in Western Pennsylvania. The content is yours -- though a few "seeds" have been thrown to see what is of interest and germiantes well. Check back often as the content changes.

UMCOR and Equal Exchange

Take your church coffee hour in a whole new direction with FAIR & Green practices. Like the Connection Cafe at the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference 2010, you can make your church coffee, tea, cocoa, cookies and other products all FAIR&GREEN.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and its partner Equal Exchange, whose mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relations between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate, through our success, the viability of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade.

For your church and home, select UMCOR's Equal Exchange products including blends of coffee, tea, cocoa, cookies, candy, nuts and berries, brewing supplies such as "eco-cups", filters, sugar packets, and more.
