VOLUNTEER  ROLE  DESCRIPTION      Role:  Hospitality  Team      Service:  Saturdays  at  5.30pm.  Reports  to:  Service  Coordinator  (Steve  Kryger)    

 “Love   must   be   sincere.   Hate   what   is   evil;   cling   to   what   is   good.   Be   devoted   to   one  another  in  brotherly  love.  Honor  one  another  above  yourselves.  Never  be  lacking  in  zeal,  but  keep  your  spiritual   fervor,  serving  the  Lord.  Be   joyful   in  hope,  patient   in  affliction,  faithful  in  prayer.  Share  with  God’s  people  who  are  in  need.  Practice  hospitality.”    -­‐  Romans  2:9-­‐13  

 Purpose:      Hospitality   Teams   exist   to   provide   an   environment   where   newcomers   and   members   can  enjoy  fellowship  together  before  the  service,  during  the  mid-­‐service  break,  and  over  dinner  together  once  a  month.      More  than  ‘just  serving  food’,  our  hospitality  teams  are  at  the  core  of  our  mission  at    Church  by  the  Bridge:      

   As  we  serve  one  another,  welcome  the  newcomer,  provide  a  means  of  fellowship,  and  put  the  needs  of  others  before  our  own,  we  are  turning  this  mission  statement  into  a  way  of  life!      Responsibilities  and  Duties:    Hospitality  Teams  are  responsible  for  the  following:    

• Setting-­‐up  the  food  and  drink  table  outside  church  before  the  service.  

• Preparing  and  presenting  food  and  drink  before  the  service  (outside  church).*  

• Setting-­‐up  tables  and  urn  inside  church  –  two  tables  for  food  and  drink,  including  tea,  plunger  coffee  and  nibbles  for  the  break.  

• Preparing  and  serving  food  and  drink  during  the  coffee  break.  

• Setting-­‐up  tables  in  the  hall  (winter)/courtyard  (summer)  for  the  post-­‐service  dinner  (only  on  the  third  Saturday  of  the  month).  

• Preparing  and  serving  the  monthly  post-­‐service  dinner.  

• Washing-­‐up  and  ensuring  the  kitchen  (and  hall,  on  the  weeks  when  we  have  dinner)  is  clean  and  tidy,  including  mopping  the  floor  if  necessary.  

 *  A  barista  is  also  rostered  on  each  week  to  serve  espresso  coffee  before  the  service.  They  are  responsible  for  setting  up  the  machine,  making  the  coffees,  and  cleaning  and  packing  up  the  machine.

Commitment:    Hospitality  teams  serve  for  2  weeks  in  a  row,  with  6  weeks  off.  On  some  occasions,  serving  on  additional  weeks  might  be  required  if  other  teams  are  down  on  numbers.  Team  members  are  required  to  have  completed  all  set-­‐up  by  4.45pm,   in  order  to  attend  the  pre-­‐service  prayer  meeting  in  the  Hub.      Therefore,  this  commitment  is  roughly  75  minutes  before  church  (to  set-­‐up),  serving  supper  during   church,   and   30   minutes   after   church   (to   clean-­‐up).   On   dinner   weeks   (the   third  Saturday  of  each  month),  extra  time  may  be  required  to  prepare/cook  the  meal.    Out  of  Pocket  Expenses:    We  don’t  want   the  costs  of  providing   food  to  be  a   financial  burden.   If  you  would   like   to  be  reimbursed  for  food  costs,  please  keep  receipts  and  give  them  to  Steve  Kryger.    Questions:    If  you  have  any  questions  regarding  serving  on  a  Hospitality  Team,  please  contact    Steve  Kryger  (steven.kryger@cbtb.org.au,  0403  904  392).        Thank  you  for  serving  us  in  this  way.  To  God  be  the  glory.        

“Oh,  the  depth  of  the  riches  of  the  wisdom  and  knowledge  of  God!    How  unsearchable  his  judgments,  and  his  paths  beyond  tracing  out!    “Who  has  known  the  mind  of  the  Lord?    Or  who  has  been  his  counselor?”    “Who  has  ever  given  to  God,  that  God  should  repay  him?”    For  from  him  and  through  him  and  to  him  are  all  things.    To  him  be  the  glory  forever!  Amen.”  –  Romans  11:33-­‐36
