Hospitali-tea and Coffee
Many Sundays | Brewer Hall | after 10am service
Enjoy fellowship, food, and beverages with folks from St. Paul’s after church at least once a month, on 3rd Sundays! You, too, can sign up to host your own Sunday coffee on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, or 5th Sundays. Please sign up HERE to select a date that works for you.
St. Paul's 8am service has its own coffee twice a month in Brewer. Our 10am community is still leaning into new rhythms this year with our improved, low-key approach to hosting: we brew the ‘joe, you simply move it to the room or garden on deck for the day and pair it with a simple treat!
We will even pair you with a mentor who is more seasoned, if you’re seeking some support and reassurance. All you need to do is help ensure things are ready after services and clean up afterwards. Contact Rev. Sarah if you might be interested in helping to coordinate logistics and communication support.
