Wanted:
Sunday Morning Refreshment Hosts. Have you noticed that the After Worship
Refreshment Sign-up Sheet is a bit
empty? How
about signing-up for a Sunday or 2? (Its
located by the New Room entrance.) Being a Refreshment Host/Hostess is not difficult AND
we even have a small supply of napkins, table cloths, juice, coffee and treats that can be
used if you dont feel comfortable baking, or buying store-bought
coffee-cakesor for whatever reason, to make it as easy as possible. (Directions for coffee making are even posted
inside one of the cabinet doors.) You might
try teaming-up with a church friend to split the responsibilities. By doing so, youll not only provide us with a
tasty snack BUT you may be the one who encourages a new family to stick around and say,
this is the friendliest church we have ever attended. We appreciate your Ministry of
Hospitality! Thanks.
