"The Daily Grind"

At St. Thomas Episcopal Church

Coffee, dispensed in nearly every church in America, has become indispensible to American spirituality

MINISTRY??? YOU MIGHT SAY. What does standing around the Parish Hall with a cup of coffee and a snack have to do with ministry? Let me shine a light on a few things to help clear up any confusion about the importance of our weekly time in the Parish Hall:

1. We will create opportunities during the preparation of fellowship hour for friendships that may begin in our kitchen and last a lifetime.
2. We will feed people both physically and spiritually who would otherwise go home to an empty house where fixing a meal seems too lonely-too much work just for one. We provide nutrition, people to visit with, and a place to rest.
3. We will help families that are exhausted at the end of their week by feeding the kids so moms and dads can take a breath and keep the Sabbath holy.
4. An important Christian ministry of showing hospitality to others. Setting and cleaning up coffee and refreshments on Sunday mornings is a small, yet meaningful, sign of servant ministry. All are welcome to Coffee Hour.

Prepared every Sunday from 8:30am to 11:00 am and is maintained by your donations from the congregation and hosted by the Ache family.
