Holy Apostles Coffee Hour

Thank you for signing up for the Coffee Hour Ministry! Read instructions below and check all information to make sure we have everything!

            A 6 Step Guide To Hosting Holy Apostles Coffee Hour

1.    Provide food (baked or purchased) for the coffee hour in the following quantities:
      a.    Pastries or coffee cake that can be cut into small pieces (cookies, cupcakes, scones, muffins,          breads, mini bagels, donut holes) and some fruit such as grapes, strawberries, orange segments, bananas or apple slices.  Items need to only be 2-3”.  For example muffins can be cut into halves or quarters and each piece will be considered one serving. You can also provide cheeses and crackers. Plan on 600 pieces for summer and closer to 800 for winter, fall and spring.  We can always freeze what is not used or it can be taken home.
      b.    Bring 2 containers of creamer (half&half or coffee mate is fine) for the coffee, and two large containers of juice (orange juice or apple juice).
      c.     Bring enough coffee to make 600 cups; Folgers, Hills Brothers, or Maxwell House only.

2. Provide Paper Products which will work for your items, napkins and small plates are good choices.
3.   Arrive by at least 9:30am on the Sunday you are to host or sooner. Bring your food to the kitchen. You can always drop off on Saturday if easier. Just call office during the week to make sure the church will be unlocked.
4.    Work on the coffee hour setup with your appointed coffee hour assistant. 
5.    Serve as host of the coffee hour. This means you welcome people as they enter the fellowship hall, introduce yourself to people you don’t know, and make sure things are running smoothly. 
6.    Clean up at the end of coffee hour.  The coffee hour assistant will help you make sure everything is in its proper place.

It’s that easy! You don’t need to know your way around the coffee maker or the kitchen.  You just need to show up with food, hands that are willing to help, and openness to your fellow parishioners!
The coffee hour assistant will help you make the coffee and turn on the dishwasher.

It takes all of us at Holy Apostles Church to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our revised coffee hour ministry is just another sign of our great and wonderful growth.
