Starbucks Sermon

I have some family members that are crazy about Starbucks.  I don't think a day goes by that they don't consume some delicious Starbucks.  And is it no surprise.  The founder of Starbucks, Howard Shulz, wanted to bring a world-class coffee and the romance of the Italian espresso bars to the U.S.  But that wasn't his main goal.  His main objective was to enrich people's lives.  In the fall of 2010, Starbucks posted their best financial performance in it's nearly 40 year history.  Shulz believes that Starbucks is poised to profitably grow, not just by opening new stores, but also through having deeper customer relationships and offering innovative offerings.  With more than $10 Billion in annual revenue, serving nearly 60 million visitors a week in 16,000 stores in 64 countries, and 200,000 partners (Starbucks calls their employees partners), they are certainly a force to be reckoned with.

So, I found this YouTube video interesting and a great example of how people of faith should reach out to others in the community when facing conflict or differing opinions. 

Enjoy The Campfire Chronicles Sunday morning message.
