COFFEE HOUR WITH THE DIOCESAN SUPPORT CENTER

---

"​This is a great way to meet your peers and possibly find ways of sharing resources and ideas." - Rae Costa

The Diocesan Support Center kicked off the first Coffee Hour on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 (Chronicle, December 9, 2020), with the team of the Rev. Cn. Sandy Graham, Business Manager Rae Costa, and Executive Assistant Denise Esposito.  Coffee Hour was established to help congregations with the administrative side of church life and are held via Zoom at least twice monthly.  Church administrators and wardens are invited to attend these continuing sessions that will address various topics, including reports to be filed, insurance, forms, policies, etc. 

These meetings are scheduled for every other Thursday at 9:00 AM. Although the first few Coffee Hours were not recorded, it was decided to do so to serve as a resource for our churches.
