The Deacons of our church have put together a "Lend-a-Hand" survey for us. From the responses they received they have a list of people they can call on when there is a specific need. It looks like this:
Romans 12:13 — “Share with God’s people who are in need.”
Dear church family,
The joy of being a part of God's family is being able to be God's hands and feet. As deacons, one of our duties is to encourage all members of our church to be a part of this wonderful work.
The deacons would like to put together a Lend-a-Hand list so that we can be efficient and organized with connecting those who need help with those who can lend-a-hand.
What are your skills? What are you willing or able to help with when there is a need in our community or within our church family?
We want to encourage everyone to take part when there is a need, and with this information we will be able to ask you to help in areas which suit the talents and skills God has blessed you with.
Please fill out your name below and tell us the areas where you could help. The deacons will maintain the list and contact you when there is a need that matches your skills and see if you are available to Lend-a-Hand. If you have additional skills which are not listed here please feel free to add them. Please also indicate if you prefer to be contacted via email, phone or text. This form will also be sent by email as a survey, we encourage you to use that method and to include your whole family in your response.

May God bless you all for the generosity and love that you show when you give through your time and talents.
Our church does what I read a lot of you other groups are doing. Coffee is on early for our worship teams etc (they put it on themselves) and we have a scheduled group of people set up coffee for after the service. In warm weather, we had our fellowship time under a big tree on our lot, but in cold weather, we stay indoors. We serve coffee, tea, and juice with a few trays of cookies.
One thing our church has done with 'intent' was to purchase fair-trade coffee.
I've really been enjoying the CRC Network. Keep up the great work! As an office administrator I have my fingers in many church 'pies'. It is great to see how others are dealing with various issues that develop or how other churches manage, encourage and sustain the different ministries and function groups.
