The Hospitality Committee supports Mount Olive’s welcoming, membership, and food.
Welcoming: Works to ensure all guests and members feel welcome in worship and the life of the congregation.
Membership: Communicates with guests of Mount Olive who would like to become members and plans for receiving and welcoming new members.
Food: Oversees food served for congregational gatherings, ranging from funeral luncheons to coffee hour and special events.
If hospitality is your gift, contact the director about ways you can serve.
