As a community we are called to be a living part of the community around us as salt and light.  We own and operate Groundswell Coffee at the corner of Hamline and Thomas as an effort to provide an oasis for our neighbors.  Excellent coffee and espresso, creative art and music, and a comfortable place to hang and meet neighbors are the driving forces behind Groundswell.  We use groundswell as a way of common work.  Volunteering to run the espresso machine, prep food, scheduling art and music are all ways folks share the work of Groundswell.
