			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you so much for volunteering to provide coffee hour. It is a perfect example of the hospitality and friendliness our church is known for!</p>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Supplies</span></strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Provide any assortment of baked goods and/or fresh fruit you would like to provide. Packaged store bought goodies are as appreciated as anything homemade.</li>
<li>Provide juice  ~ generally at least 2-gallons during busy times.</li>
<li>Provide coffee ~ one small can of any brand, cream and /or milk.</li>
<li>Cold cups, hot cups, napkins, plates, plastic cutlery (if needed), stirrers,  sugar and sweeteners are provided and are located in the cabinets labeled &#8220;Coffee Hour&#8221;. [<strong>It is a good idea to check the cabinet the week before in case supplies are low and either let the coffee hour coordinator know or bring your own supply.</strong>]</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to make the coffee</span></strong></h4>
<p><strong>It takes time to brew, so start the coffee BEFORE the service.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Use the large percolator and disassemble it.</li>
<li>Fill the urn to the 80 cup line (generally, unless you sense a bigger gathering).</li>
<li>Empty the small can of coffee in the top part of the urn and reassemble the percolator.</li>
<li>It is advisable to heat hot water in the small percolator for tea drinkers or if you are providing hot cocoa.</li>
</ol>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Set up</strong></span></h4>
<p>Please DO NOT  set the food and cold drinks on a table closest to the kitchen window as it hinders people trying to get to the coffee.</p>
<h4><strong>*<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Coffee Hour During the Summer</span></strong></h4>
<p>If it is nice outside, set up a card table or two (found in the Narthex or bring a table from Rauner Hall and place in the front yard area near the main walkway. Serve iced tea and lemonade.</p>

<h3>To create a new post or add/edit an event on the calendar</h3>
<ol>
<li>You must be logged in</li>
<li>You must click on the link at the right that says &#8220;Site Admin,&#8221; which takes you to the &#8220;<a title="Site Admin Dashboard" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/index.php" target="_self">Dashboard</a>&#8220;.</li>
</ol>
<p>The <a title="Site Admin Dashboard" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/index.php" target="_self">Dashboard</a> gives you a high level view of posting activity.  From here click on one of the options at the top; <a title="Write pages and post" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/post-new.php" target="_self">Write</a>, <a title="Manage pages and posts" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/edit.php" target="_self">Manage</a>, <a title="Manage or edit comments" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/edit-comments.php" target="_self">Comments</a>, <a title="Create or edit events " href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/admin.php?page=calendar/calendar.php" target="_self">Calendar</a>.</p>
<h3>How to edit or create an event</h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you want to post a new event&#8230; you would click on <a title="Edit Events" href="http://numc.us/wp-admin/admin.php?page=calendar/calendar.php" target="_blank">Calendar</a> and this would bring you to the Manage Calendar page. You fill out the form to add your event.</p>
<ol>
<li>Event Title &#8211; <span style="font-weight: bold;">A short 1-4  word title</span></li>
<li>Event Description &#8211; <span style="font-weight: bold;">This can be pretty lengthy and will pop up when a person &#8220;mouses over&#8221; the event title</span></li>
<li>Event Category &#8211; <span style="font-weight: bold;">This is a drop down selection and color codes the event on the calendar.</span></li>
<li>Event Link (Optional) -<span style="font-weight: bold;"> I used this only for the church fair so far, but if you have also entered a post on the event, you can copy and paste the url in this box and the reader can click it in the calendar and will be redirected to that link.</span></li>
<li>Start Date Select Date &#8211; <span style="font-weight: bold;">The event date</span></li>
<li>End Date Select Date &#8211; <span style="font-weight: bold;">Do not let this confuse you, it is not for recurring events,<span style="color: #ff0000;"> it should always be the same as the start date</span>, otherwise your entry would be every day until this date.</span></li>
<li>Time (hh:mm)(optional, set blank if not required) Current time difference from GMT is -4 hour(s): <span style="font-weight: bold;">This is a military time interval, although it will appear correctly in the calendar. (i.e. 13:00 = 1:00 PM, <span id="lw_1225229128_1" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">14:30</span>= <span id="lw_1225229128_2" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">2:30 PM</span>, etc..)</span></li>
<li>Recurring Events
<ul>
<li>Repeats for: <span style="font-weight: bold;">If it is a regular recurring event, like Sunday services, </span>I generally set the number to 10 and weeks, depending on the event.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
