We celebrate the return of in-person Sunday services and fellowship time with coffee! As part of the shared ministry campaign, we are asking that each member of the congregation help with coffee service one or two times throughout the year, beginning November 7. We are hoping this will give everyone an opportunity to meet other members and to be part of service to our community. A schedule has already been created which includes all members. You can easily scroll the alphabetized list to find your scheduled Sundays.

Thank you to the nine Team Leaders who will be heading different teams throughout the year to provide the coffee service, complete with other drinks and treats! And then, most of all, thank you to YOU, who are willing to be on these teams and provide the coffee service!

Although many of you have helped with coffee services before, some of you haven’t and that is ok. That is why we have a Team Leader and there are likely others on your team who can help you learn the ropes, or in this case, the coffee beans. Duties include everything from making the coffee, heating water for tea, setting out cups and treats, providing treats, washing dishes, and just being the kind friendly people, you already are. Your team leader will be contacting you with a reminder the Monday prior to the Sunday that you will be helping. For example, those who will be serving on November 14th should be getting an email from their team leader on November 8th. If you can’t make that date, no worries, try and see if you can switch with someone, or have that be the day you help provide treats. Your team leader or Anna or Sara with the Connections Team, should be able to help you with this as well.

If you have any other questions or concerns please contact Anna or Sara at connectionsteam@uusalem.org. You don’t see your name on the schedule? Let us know, we would love to include you – the more the merrier!

Thank you for being part of the UUCS community, Anna and Sara
