Coffee Hour Hosts Needed
Coffee Hour is a great opportunity to show a little hospitality. Hosts bring food, plate it and make coffee, make sure plates, etc., are out, and after the fellowship is through, clean the tables and wash the dishes. Lorraine's role as the Kitchen Coordinator for Grace is to make sure juice, creamer, coffee supplies and clean dish towels are available for you to use, to help answer any questions you may have on what to bring or how to run the dishwasher, and to keep the Coffee Hour calendar full. It's up to us to do the rest!
1) On the sheet in the Guild Hall
2) Use this Doodle Survey to let Lorraine know your availability to host. Lorraine will contact you to confirm your host date. Questions? Contact Lorraine in the church office or via e-mail.
