A rose by any other name...
It looks like we are going to have to scrap the name Zion and choose something different. What does anyone think about the name 'motsa mayim'?

uh.. I don't know the words - what does it mean?
...is Mayim somethin to do with water?
isn't Motsa slang for money somwhere - Australia maybe? i dont really know...
might be good to have a name that rings some bells for people. You could name it after your last post-er, given that it's at St. Peters church hall. Pete's __________, fill in the blank with something suitable.
Motsa mayim means a bubbling, gushing water source. But we've scrapped that idea cos it's too complicated. We're really trying to find a name that will encompass all that God's been saying to us about the cafe being a water source in a thirsty place and a place where God's presence is. We're now considering calling it 'Isaiah 35' since that's the passage that God keeps bringing us back to. This naming thing is really tough!!!!
A water source in a thirsty place is usually called an oasis - how about that? Or the Watering Hole (not sure!). It also depends what you're trying to do - a name that will communicate with church people may mean nothing at all to local youth, so it's a question of who you're trying to communicate with.
Or, in memory of the last 2 weeks of cricket, you could call it the Stuffed Pom.
