The team: Refreshments Team
At Emmanuel we believe in offering our refreshments service to ad-hoc events that use our Church as part of our ongoing mission. It's a time for us to be inclusive, to live out our faith, and to share God's love in service. To do this we need committed volunteers to serve refreshments, create an inclusive environment, and serve the Emmanuel Family in this way.
They are a committed team - who work together and ensure we serve refreshments each Sunday, keep in line with hygiene standards, and generally keep the upkeep of the kitchen to the standard we would expect.
Is this team for you?

But of course, full training is given if needed too!
