Daniel Johnson, hiking across the U.S. on a mission for Christ, stops by for pancakes this morning at the Unleavened Bread Cafe in the heart of Indianapolis. Daniel is known as 'TheTruthGroup' by over 2,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, where they are following his cross-country trek to highlight the Lord Jesus Christ. Here in our metro area, Daniel can be seen regularly on IndyChristian.TV.

Damon Collins... Test of Time Lithographs

Above, is an example from the gallery of "Test of Time Lithographs" -- the website of Damon Collins, a friend at the cafe. Damon is one of the regular guys in the Bible study there, conducted by City of Refuge. And today he was among those who 'Ask Anything Saturday' -- our informal learning-time together, re everything internet. For instance, today Damon and connected via Facebook (UBcafe group!) for the first time. And his key question was, "How do I go about getting other folks to link to my lithography site?". One way, we told him, was to get your friends to blog about it (or tweet about it)... ie, just like we're doing here on the cafe website. *smile*

[Btw, there were a number of others at 'Ask Anything Saturday' today who connected for the first time. That's why we fondly say, "The cafe was Facebook before Facebook was Facebook." *smile* It's all about building helpful relationships across the 3 great divides... the Digital Divide, the Multicultural Divide and God's Eternal Divide.]

Whole Lot Of Things Going On At The Cafe

Today there were a number of new folks/faces at the #UBcafe. The Mapleton Fall Creek Development Corporation hosted a neighborhood breakfast and discussion.

'Ask Anything Saturday' -- our weekly tech-assistance folks were also here, using the cafe's wifi to help people in some usual (and unusual *wink*) ways.

Check out our Flickr photo-stream to see which of your friends were here recently.

Closed Saturday, July 4th

Sister Elease advised us that the cafe will be CLOSED on Saturday, July 4th -- Enjoy the holiday... without pancakes. Yikes!

Just A Normal Saturday At The Cafe...

Yep, just a 'normal' Saturday at the cafe...

...making new friends, enjoying pancakes (and whatever your favorite breakfast), and learning from each other.

Indeed, it's not just 'what' you know that counts, but more importantly WHO you know -- because we can hope to quickly develop relationships... and thus benefit from what someone else knows.

Ok, so here's the cafe photo-stream of recent visitors.

And of course, a number of them now are well-connected via Facebook... and the UBcafe group there in Facebook. Join us!

U. B. Learnin'...

Psssstttt... What are these folks dreamin' & plannin'?

Here's today's YouTube report -- and our photostream.

Stay tuned for a special announcement for June 27th... Mark your calendars.

[P.S... Hey thanks @RudyCarrasco for reposting the video at UrbanOnramps.com in Pasadena! Btw, people are also now watching it in the CityReaching.TV player seen at IndyChristian and elsewhere.]

Come be with us. And bring a few bucks for the best pancakes in the city!

UBcafe Down On The Farm...

Dave Metzger & Margy took Sister Elease and some of the neighborhood guys like Jab & Joe... up to the farm of some cafe-friends near Lafayette... to 'put in a crop' for the summer.

Stay tuned... Let's see how the garden grows...

Social Media Presentation @ UBcafe

We often say, "The cafe was Facebook before Facebook was Facebook". *smile* Why? Because at the heart of its very mission, the cafe is warm & welcoming (in the name of Christ) in the neighborhood. People don't 'dress up' to come to the cafe -- you can come as you are: you're among friends.

And yeah, we've been taking folks pictures 'at the banner' for years (over 1,700 now in our Flickr-stream)... to honor our guests and to help get to know each other better, sooner.

Today was just another of those 'buzzing' Saturdays at the cafe, as @DrThomasHo (Tom Ho) brought one of his IUPUI Social Media #CIT499 students with him to specially present her class project.

Julie Underwood (known as @JuUnderw on Twitter) shared a howto video with us which she had prepared, which covered a variety of social media concepts... eg. tagging, rss, pipes, lifestream, and social-networking sites.

And, no surprise, Julie made a ton of new friends while she was at the cafe.

Catch up with them all in the cafe's Facebook group... and now you can monitor the #UBcafe buzz on Twitter.

'Ask Anything Saturday' ? We Help People Learn The Internet

[During Ask Anything Saturday (10am each week at the cafe), we've been drawing this as a picture for YEARS. Now, PTL, this quick video explains it very very well. Thus you see the power of YouTube as well.]



Come bring your questions. Everything we do on Saturday is FREE.

Or come bring your internet capabilities, and help OTHERS. If you can do email, you can help.

We're crossing the 3 great divides: Digital Divide, Multicultural Divide, and God's Eternal Divide.

This Saturday, we'll focus a little extra attention on YouTube questions. Come join us.
