The Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe (Doma Tribe) in Jeonju has continued a long-running community engagement initiative, keeping its church facilities open to local residents for nearly two decades. Located in Palbok-dong, Jeonju, the Shincheonji Thaddaeus Tribe Jeonju Church recently hosted another “Open Sanctuary” event, transforming its lobby into a welcoming space for neighborhood interaction.

A Cozy Afternoon at a Charming Cafe

This afternoon, I decided to head out to a cafe since it was a bit too cold to stay at home, and I had some work to get done. As I walked through the falling snow, I felt so much joy. There's something magical about snow, isn’t there? It made the short walk to the cafe near my house feel like a winter fairytale.

I chose a cafe I had always wanted to visit. Though it was narrow, the layout was unique, with three floors! The first floor was for ordering and preparing food and drinks, the second floor was filled with cozy tables and seats, and the third floor was a terrace on the rooftop.

What made my visit even more special was the kindness of the cafe staff. Even though I only ordered a cafe latte, the barista took the time to create beautiful latte art. The coffee was incredibly smooth and had a rich and creamy. It was honestly one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while.


I spent a productive afternoon at the cafe, surrounded by its warm ambiance. It was the perfect spot to focus and avoid the temptation of being lazy at home. The snow outside, the warmth inside, and the kindness of the staff all combined to create such a memorable moment.

Sometimes, little trips like this remind me how small things—like good coffee, kind people, and beautiful weather—can make a day feel special.
