Coffee Hour Policy

At the August 2000 meeting, the Executive Board unanimously approved the following Coffee Hour Policy, to be effective beginning Sunday, October 1, 2000.
 

1. Refreshments for coffee hour each week will only be provided by sponsors.  A sponsor can be an individual, a family or church organization that would like to host the coffee hour.

2. Sponsors can sign up to host the coffee hour by contacting the church office and putting their name on the coffee hour sign up sheet for a particular Sunday.

3. If a sponsor would like to host a coffee hour, they are responsible for the following:

   1. Providing all refreshments (except coffee and sugar, which will still be provided by the parish) for the coffee hour.

   2. Providing milk or cream, all cups, plates, napkins, and utensils

   3. Coordinating setting up all refreshments for the coffee hour

   4. Coordinating cleaning up of refreshments, tables and kitchen after the coffee hour

4. On Sundays where there is not a sponsor, only coffee will be provided for coffee hour.  The Executive board will coordinate setup, serving and cleanup on those weeks.

5. Tablecloths for each table will not be provided for coffee hour due to the expense.  If desired, tablecloths can be purchased from the church at $2 per tablecloth. Please contact the church office for more information.

We fully understand that due to certain circumstances (e.g. Memorial Services), that a sponsor cannot attend church services and also set up coffee hour.  That’s why we use the word “coordinate”.  The sponsor should coordinate getting help to setup, serve and cleanup the coffee hour.  There are many parishioners willing to help….we just need to ask.

We ask your full cooperation, understanding and support.  We encourage our church organizations, families and individuals to sign-up and sponsor the coffee hour.  Our goal is to have a social hour that all of us can enjoy together.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Executive Board.
