Coffee Hour
Coffee Hour is held after each Sunday service. Coffee Hour nurtures
us all in many ways - it is an opportunity to meet fellow members
of the congregation for community and conversation. As a member,
we encourage you to sign up to host at least one Coffee Hour. It's
a great way to become familiar with your friends in the congregation.
It's also an excellent opportunity to advertise your committee or
group's activities if you belong to one. Our Coffee Hour sign up
sheet is in Fletcher Hall so be sure to check out the available
dates that will be convenient for you to host.
Here is our to-do list for hosting Coffee Hour:
1. Please bring "goodies" for about 60 adults for each
service. Many people request "more nutritious" snacks
- please do so if this is your concern. Variety is good!
2. Bring 1 gallon of milk. This is enough for both services.
3. Bring snacks and juice for 25 children for each service. Set
a separate table for the children away from the adult table. The
sexton will set up a small table for you; if he has not done so
already, just ask him to do it. Use the small cups in the kitchen
for the juice. Pour several cups of juice ahead of time so it is
ready when the children arrive. Several parents have requested small
pretzels as one of the snacks as some children are allergic to milk
products and pretzels seem to be ok.
4. Coffee and hot water are prepared by the sexton; however, plan
to leave the service about 15 minutes early to put out your snacks,
brew the tea, put out a basket for Coffee Hour donations, and make
sure everything is ready. Paper goods are in a cabinet near the
pass through in the kitchen. The cabinets are marked to help you
find what you may need.
5. You can make a donation of the things you brought or be reimbursed;
to be reimbursed, leave the receipts for your purchases along with
a brief explanation and our Administrator, Donna Lauckner, will
arrange for you to be reimbursed. Put the monies collected and receipts
(if any) noting the money is from the Coffee Hour to Donna's attention
into the locked little black mailbox outside the office. There should
be envelopes for this purpose in the end drawer, on the right as
you go into the kitchen from Fletcher Hall.
6. Last but not least, please clean up after. Wash the red cups,
pitchers, and any other things you may have used. This part that
really helps everyone.
Thanks again - we look forward to seeing you at Coffee Hour!
