Coffee Hour Hosts Needed! With our summer worship theme of "hospitality," it would seem appropriate to offer hospitality each Sunday...and yet no one has signed up. Volunteers are needed to come at 9 am to set up the tent and a round table outdoors and to provide simple snacks to go along with lemonade (make it on Thursday and keep it in the church refrigerator). Sign up outside the church office or let Sue know  Monday Night at the Movies
