Thank you to Louise W and Gloria J for the paper supplies and packaged cookies that came to the kitchen this month. Everyone is a blessed part of the hospitality at Grace. I have volunteered to coordinate coffee service after church on Sundays. I will give reminder calls to volunteers. It is fun to participate in the creative and delicious treats people share as well as a simple box of crackers or cookies. Taking time with one another after the service strengthens our community!

I hope that we can keep the east counter, under the cupboards, clear for communion and fellowship preparations. If items are left after the service, I will generally place them in a cupboard in the narthex. Another place to pick up items might be on the food table in the narthex. That too will be kept tidy, but it is a nice spot to place a collection box or gift for secret sister.
