Desperately seeking volunteers for Coffee Hour
Would you like to help out?
This is a great chance for fellowship each Sunday morning.
The empty Coffee Hour list for 2012 is on the bulletin board.
The Coffee Hour snack can be as little or as much as you'd like.

If you would like to donate towards Coffee Hour, there will be a “Coffee Hour Donation Cup” on the table. 
It will help alleviate the cost of Coffee Hour.
