Reilly's Pub in OBOB is open to non-Christians and so is the Open Cafe in WWMC. It seems that staff is willing to open any Congregation's cafe/pub/fellowship thread to non-Christians if the Congregation wants to invite them. This thread in Forum Questions is asking, and specifically mentioned The Barnraising.

What do y'all think? Would you like to open this thread to non-Christians.

Suggestion:
Make a poll in the section below here to guage what the rest of the Baptists/Anabaptists think.

I am for it by the way.

I finally got around to researching what a barn raising is.

Awesome concept!

Wikipedia - Barn raising

A barn raising is a one- or two-day event during which a community comes together to assemble a barn for one of its households. A certain amount of preparation is done beforehand. Lumber and hardware are laid in, plans are made, ground is cleared, and tradesmen are hired.
Materials are purchased or traded for by the family who will own the barn once it is complete.

Generally, participation is mandatory for community members. These participants are not paid. All able-bodied members of the community are expected to attend. Failure to attend a barn raising without the best of reasons leads to censure within the community. Some specialists brought in from other communities for direction or joinery may be paid, however.

You ain't never been to a barnraising GD?

 

[Crazy Liz]

It's also a big party! (even though everybody works hard)

You ain't never been to a barnraising GD?

Having lived in major cities all my life, and attending churches and schools that are full of urbanites like me, we have little use for barns. All our houses are built by contractors.

Although we did include large segments of our community in things like moving, painting and regrading the backyard in our move to a new house this year. Food and fellowship is always involved.

Hi Lycana. Welcome!

Enjoy!
