Morning Tea | Victoria Point
Morning Tea is a vital part of Sunday morning as people meet, relationships are formed, we discuss what we have heard in God’s word, and as we encourage each other to live for Jesus in the week ahead.
Plan for Sunday
Pray for people you’ll meet and conversations you might have
Check in with others on your team
Morning tea supplies are ready in the kitchen, so additional food is an option but not expected
Prepare before the service
Switch on the urn at the wall FIRST THING
Wash hands
Get out morning tea supplies (tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits)
Set out cups, plates/platters
Host after the service
Be warm and welcoming
Ideally, where 2 people are rostered, one can look after the tea and coffee and the other providing food and having conversation. (Sometimes people will offer to carry a plate of biscuits out to those who are seated – that’s great!)
Clean up before leaving
Wash plates, cups etc and put away
Store unused biscuits in sealable container for next week
Turn off and unplug urn
Take home and wash used tea towels and return the following week (or leave to dry)
Let Doug know if milk or biscuit supplies are insufficient for the following week
