Hospitality Hosts Wanted: Holy Family’s hospitality coffee hour gatherings following the 8 AM and 10 AM services are being reorganized in an effort to better welcome visitors and provide a warm environment for fellowship. Hospitality Hosts are needed to lead this important ministry! Hosts are responsible for making and serving coffee and lemonade as well as cleaning up. They may provide snacks, but this is not required.
In an effort to increase participation in this wonderful ministry, each family is being asked to sign up to host hospitality once per program year. For those who regularly attend the 8 AM service, they will organize their own sign-up sheet. For the 10 AM service, a new Hospitality Host schedule is being prepared to begin in early September, so please check your calendar and choose the Sunday that works best for you! An information session for both services will provide helpful details to make hosting easy and enjoyable. Whether you are new and want to learn more or are a returning Hospitality Host, please speak with Father Frank to make sure you are added to the contact list. frfrank@hfec.org
