Sunday Morning Coffee

 

Winter

Please bring 1 quart of half-and-half, 1 quart of milk with you, and a couple bags of cheap cookies, if possible.

  • The urns are on the cart; roll the cart near the sink and use the "hose" to fill them:
    Large: 55 cups (regular coffee) - hang the label on immediately so you'll remember!
    Large: 40 cups, (decaf coffee) - hang the label on immediately so you'll remember!
    Small: 30 cups (hot water)
    Small: 30 cup (hot water)(only for very large services)
  • Put the "perc" mechanism and basket in each coffee pot.
  • Measure 2.5 cups of regular coffee and 2 cups of decaf coffee into each basket.
    The coffee is in the freezer; 1 cup of coffee grounds = 20 cups of brewed coffee; the measuring cups are in the cabinet to the right of the coffee supplies. Extra coffee in the locked cabinet across from the refrigerator. Ask Team Leader for the key.
  • Roll the cart close to the wall and plug in the urns. MAKE SURE THEY ARE HEATING!
  • While the coffee is brewing, make sure these supplies are on the rolling cart.
    (Except where indicated, they are either on the cart already or in the cabinets above the coffeemakers, hopefully on the bottom shelf where they belong!)
    • A few napkins (shelves near door to sanctuary)
    • 2 paper plates for used tea bags, stirrers, etc.
    • Sugar and artificial sweetener
    • Stirrers (2 containers)
    • Tea bags (regular, decaf and herbal. Leave unlabeled teas in their original box.)
    • Instant coffee
    • Cups, about 120 (big boxes to right of the rolling cart)
    • Coffee/tea/cocoa pot labels
    • Basket and sign for $$$$ contributions
  • Put any leftover food from the refrigerator and any cookies you brought on serving trays
  • Once the service starts snacks can be put out in the Community Hall
  • If you have time, put away the clean dishes and utensils from the dish drainer
  • Towards the end of the service, no later than the beginning of the last hymn, roll the cart into the community hall.
    Set everything out on the table, including the half-and- half and the milk, in the original containers. DO NOT LABEL ANYTHING WITH MASKING TAPE OR STICK- ON NAME TAGS; IT DOES NOT COME OFF!!!
  • Cleanup (ask for extra help from the rest of the team):
    • Pour out the leftover coffee.
    • Pour out the half-and-half and milk or take it home (do not leave it at church),
    • Wash the pots and wipe up the counters.
    • Clear and wipe the table in the Community Hall.
    • Collect the coffee $$$. (It usually at least covers the cost of the milk, half-and-half and cookies. You should reimburse yourself immediately. The remainder goes into an envelope labeled “Coffee Fund” and placed inside the blue Collector’s bag, or in her mail box in the church office).
    • Leave everything possible on the coffee cart!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
