This Sunday you will see a change in the lobby of High Point. Starbucks who for the past 3 and a half years will no longer be providing your caffeinated needs. Due to the economic times we are living in Starbucks did not renew our contract at the same price so I went shopping. I wanted to find as good if not better coffee for at or below the price I was paying. (It is a core value of mine that we will not have the usually BAD church coffee!) I found the "The Black Sheep". (Sorry, Starbucks You were great but I am confident you will understand.)
Peter Middlecamp the Owner of "The Black Sheep" and I have grown to be friends over the last few years. I have taken a keen eye to his coffee shop because he started it the same time that High Point was started. I am a huge fan of start ups, small companies and visionaries. Pete does a great job at making a warm and inviting place to have a cup of Clover made coffee and some of the best Cinnamon or Carmel rolls this side of the Mississippi. Pete roasts all his coffee their and is working on a blend that will be known as "The High Point Church Blend" so you will be able to purchase what we drink on Sundays. (What church has their own coffee blend? I have never heard of one)
Let me know what you think tomorrow and when you stop by "The Black Sheep" let the workers know you are from High Point as you drop some dough in the tip jar.
