HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE
Gunda Simpkins & Leslie Manning -Co-chairs

The Hospitality Committee provides coffee between services as well as juice and cookies for the Sunday school students weekly. We believe that this time is important for our members to forge relationships, share our time and talents with one another, and offer one another support at times when it is needed. We have long recognized that it is not just about the coffee!

In addition to maintaining the coffee schedule, the members of this committee continue to work to maintain, stock, and clean the church's kitchen during the Spring and Fall clean-up's and throughout the year.

As in other years, the Hospitality Committee met throughout this past year on an as-needed basis to help plan some of the events all members of HTELC have come to look forward to, such as Sunday School in the park in June, New Member celebrations, First Communion, Confirmation and other events, such as the Natural Church Development program. The combined projects and maintenance of par levels of paper goods for various events were carried out using $300 of the $500 budgeted for this work.

The Annual Congregational Meeting brings us full-circle in the calendar of events for this committee. We take pride in our efforts in planning these special events and thank the countless individuals who contribute to ensure that we always have enough to eat at every celebration! We welcome any and all of those who might be interested in joining this fun and dynamic group!
