We are just over 2 weeks away from reopening the doors of our "Seconds Please" Tea Room, after a 2 year absence. Since 2006, we have helped to support the Missions programs at Second Church through the proceeds of the Tea Room. We operate during the Spoleto Festival, as we have a captive audience with the Crafts Fair in our front yard. Tea Room is multi-generational and the most fun it is legal to have in a church setting. What's not to enjoy, FOOD, FUN AND FELLOWSHIP!

Our Tea Room is only successful with the help of our volunteer members. If you are new to our Second family, this is a wonderful way to get to know other members of the congregation and have great fun! We serve on Friday and Saturday, May 27-28, serving times of 11:30 am -2 pm. Volunteers arrive an hour ahead of serving to train and help get stations ready. All volunteers are fed, a definite plus.

Prep Day is Thursday, May 26, from 10 am - 2 pm, later only if we do not get it all done. We need 8-12 volunteers for prep. We need 25-30 volunteers for each day of Tea Room. Nursery is available for our staff.

There are many ways to be a part of Tea Room. We only serve homemade desserts, so we are always in need of your expert baking skills. Wait staff, kitchen staff, dessert, take-out are some of the areas of volunteer need. Our Tea Room needs YOU to make our reopening a success. I ask that you prayerfully consider how you can help. The volunteer sign-up poster will remain until Sunday, May 15 and online sign-up will end on Wednesday, May 18.

The Tea Room Committee is working hard to get things ready, We hope that you will join us to support our Missions programs by helping to make our reopening a spectacular one.

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING!

Blessings,

The Tea Room Committee
