Coffee Hour

All who enjoy Coffee Hour are invited to bring a gift of food. We encourage those who would like to contribute food to consider simple, no-fuss, finger foods. The church will alert you if it is a fasting Sunday meal or a feasting Sunday meal.

Typical Church fasting meal means no meat or dairy.

Typical Church feasting means meat and dairy.

Please wait for Fr. Paul’s blessing to indicate food line is ready.  Coffee hours after weekday liturgies will be arranged on an ad-hoc basis. 

Allergy Awareness! Severe allergy to all shellfish! Allergies to almonds, walnuts, and cashews. Please refrain from bringing to coffee hour label foods with ingredients.

Fundraising Coffee Hour

Once a month we have a fundraising meal during Coffee Hour. ($10 suggested donation. All proceeds benefit AGOC.) Check the monthly calendar for upcoming date!
