PR TEAM

Good morning ladies~ I wanted to take a moment to thank you for signing up to help pass out eXpresso info cards & candy on the patio tomorrow morning.

My understanding is there won't be a Women's Table this weekend, so we will meet up inside next to the Info Booth where the leather chairs are. That's where I'll keep the supplies and baskets. If for some reason I'm not there, please just help yourselves and you can get started.

You'll find grocery bags full of the 'Passion' cards with candy glued to them along with (3) bright pink baskets. My thought is to load the pink baskets and use them for passing out. I chose bright pink, to draw attention to and spark interest in what we're doing! We will be passing these out on the front Patio between the front doors and the grass area.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time then come back out after service for another 15 minutes or so.

Listed below are your time slots. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me either by email or phone at 602-999-9990.

8:00am - Starla Evans, Debbie Richardson

9:15am - Maryann Eberhart, Denise Klarin, Marsha Murphy

10:35am - Charissa McCarron, Heather Sanders, Krisitin Medved

11:55am - Amanda Chavez, Elizabeth Sink

5:00pm - Lori Olson, Reina Lambert

Thank you again for your graciousness. ~Jessica

Letter to the Table Hostess's

Dear Table Hostess,

Thank you so very much for coming early and helping make sure tonight was set up for eXpresso!! Your servant’s heart is so appreciated!!!

eXpresso is such a beautiful network for women of all ages. This is a fun evening out, hearing testimonies from amazing women, and coming along side wonderful gals to fellowship about the topic. Together we will hear how God helped them, grew them and walked side by side with them through their struggles.

As a Table Hostess please-
**As a table hostess, we will be asking you to remove your name card from the plastic holder inside the coffee cup on the table when you have a full table of gals. This will help the greeters know the table is FULL. Please place your name tag on the table so gals will know who is the table hostess.

As the table hostesses arrive early, they will need to come into the student center and find their table. Please look for your name card on a plastic holder that will be sticking out of the coffee cup in the center of the table.

1. Greet and introduce yourself to the ladies at your table
2. Make sure they have a name tag, and if not help them to a kiosk
3. Be available to answer questions about the topic of the night.
4. Start off the table questions, help facilitate the conversation and move to the next question.
5. Be prepared to stay a bit after and allow the ladies to enjoy fellowshipping in conversation
6. There may be gals who are in need of prayer, if you are comfortable, please come along side them and pray or refer them to one of the eXpresso team members.
7. If you have any gals that are interested in being on the panel, please give them Tanya Kirkpatrick’s business card OR direct them to the church website to fill out a “coffee talk” form.
8. At 9pm please pick up centerpieces, any trash off the table, pens and tablecloth and place in labeled bins in back of the student center.

Thank you again for giving your time and your heart to serve as a Table Hostess!

All for HIS glory!
Teri Carter
