We have a hospitality ministry responsible for providing homemade treats. There are 5 groups of 2 that provide 4-6 dozen "pieces" rotating every 5th Sunday. We ask that all 10 team members provide 3 dozen pieces on select services like Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, Christmas Eve service, etc.
We have hearts of Mary (a desire to sit at Jesus' feet) with hands of Martha (a desire and ability to serve) therefore we try to balance our time of providing service with receiving God's word through the sermons.
Treats are put in the lobby 40 minutes before service to allow our service teams the opportunity for snacking before the flock arrives. Since we meet in a school we have extensive set-up / tear-down duties requiring many hands.
The setup team sets up the hospitality tables with coffee, hot water and bottled water. Our hospitality team creatively supplies cookies, mini-muffins, quick breads, mini-frittatas, breakfast quesadillas, cinnamon rolls, gluten-free, and some vegan offerings depending on what moves them. In a pinch it is perfectly fine to bring purchased items like donut holes. There are typically treats still left for after service for those who enjoy mingling.
Our purpose is to build and strengthen relationships with one another as we each strive to strengthen our relationship with God.
