Coffee Hour Hosts

Coffee Hour Hosts for September - June 2013

COFFEE HOUR HOST INSTRUCTIONS

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fair Trade Coffee Donations Are Needed. Thanks to all who have so generously supported the Presbyterian Coffee Project purchases of organic fair trade coffee. This coffee not only tastes great, buying it improves the lives of the farmers who grow it and nurtures the land where it is grown. Please continue to support this mission project by giving a dollar at coffee hour or consider buying a case of coffee. The average price is $35 for a case of regular or decaf. If you would like to sponsor a case of Fair Trade coffee, see Terry de la Vega.

Kitchen Help is Always Appreciated!
If it is NOT your day to do coffee, but you see where you can step in and help those in the kitchen, please do just that!

If you would like to volunteer to host an available (hosts needed) coffee hour, please contact the church secretary.

It is a good idea to call your co-host a week or so in advance to be sure you are both able to prepare and serve on your scheduled day.  If you are unable to do so, please find someone to take your place. It is usually easiest to call someone on the list in the next week or two and simply switch Sundays with them. If there is a change in your assigned day, please contact Amanda Ritchie (coffee hour scheduler) phone 265-3355 or email: caritchey@wildblue.net or Cindy (our secretary)  phone: 265-3494 or email: p1presch@twcny.rr.com ), so they both can update the list and put the correct names in the Sunday church worship bulletin. Thank you for taking the time to host coffee hour.

 If you are new to hosting, or don't know how to use the coffee machine, or just need to refresh your memory as to what you need to do, please refer to the COFFEE HOUR HOST INSTRUCTIONS.

 

COFFEE HOUR LIST

Below is the new schedule of coffee hour hosts for September 2012 – June 2013. Some dates still need to be filled, so please volunteer to host one of those days. If you are scheduled to host by yourself, feel free to ask someone to host with you. This is a good way to reach out to new people in the congregation and give them an opportunity to get involved.

You may also notice many of the second Sunday spots are assigned to the various church committees. We look forward to seeing our committee members and finding out about what they do to support our church.
