Serve

Hospitality

The easiest first place to serve, and the one visitors remember.

What it involves

Arrive forty minutes before a Gathering. Start the coffee, put out the mugs, hold a door, and talk to people you don't know. That's the job.

The Welcome Table

Two people staff the table in the lobby each Gathering. You'll answer the same six questions all morning — where's the bathroom, where do my kids go, what time does this end, do I have to sign anything, is there parking, who do I talk to about a group. Knowing those six answers is the entire training.

Coffee

We take it more seriously than is strictly reasonable. Beans come from a roaster three blocks away, it's ground on site, and there is a documented procedure taped inside the cupboard door.

The rota

Once a month, and you pick your Gathering. Miss one and nothing happens; tell us and we'll cover it.
