Coffee Hour Hosts Needed

Coffee Hour, held each Sunday in Skiles Hall following the 8:30 service, is an important time of not only fellowship, but also a time to get to know our visitors and newcomers.  People tend to stay longer and mingle when snacks are available.

Hosting Coffee Hour entails providing light refreshments and coffee as well as a non-coffee beverage.  Teams of 2 volunteers tend to work best.  The sign-up sheet can be found on the serving bar in the kitchen.
