VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Everyone enjoys a nice cup of coffee (or two) in the morning. It all starts with the aroma, then laughter and the conversations that follow during our Adult Christian Formation each Sunday.
Help us continue this practice and reach out to our Coffee Hour Coordinator Kathy Cobb today.
Hosting for Coffee Hour is done on a rotating basis so it is as fun and simple as Coffee Hour itself.
A volunteer's primary responsibility is to
make the coffee.
(Bringing in sweets and treats is optional)
