Background: Leadership Team has given permission to the Hospitality Team to temporarily hire a TEAMM meal coordinator for the Fall of 2010. This is simply to make sure that TEAMM meal — as an important ministry of the congregation — does not get lost in the conversation of “Moving Forward” and in the midst of a transition of leadership on the Hospitality Team. The position will be paid from the Congregational Budget, but with the understanding that any TEAMM meal revenue this Fall will be applied towards the coordinator’s salary.
Responsibilities of “TEAMM Meal Coordinator”:
- coordinate the purchasing of needed supplies (will need to work closely with whoever ends up being the regular food purchaser);
- coordinate the preparation of a weekly TEAMM meal (from September 15 to approximately December 8, not including November 23). The system will not be working if the coordinator ends up doing the clean-up or preparing more than one meal a month by themselves (though even that might be too many);
- coordinate the announcement and prayer/singing/devotional time during the meal;
- coordinate the post-meal clean-up;
- handle the income of TEAMM meal, and keep watch on the expenses related to TEAMM meal.
There is an expectation that this position will require, on average, about 5 hours a week.
Hospitality Team wants to be clear that “coordinating” does not necessarily mean “doing.” Our hope is that a large portion of these responsibilities would include securing volunteers to prepare and clean-up the meals, and that volunteers could be asked to do announcements and provide a prayer/song/devotional. There is an expectation that the TEAMM Meal Coordinator will “use their phone” in the fulfillment of their duties.
