TEA ROOM SIGN UP IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU.
We are just over 2 weeks away from reopening the doors of our "Seconds Please" Tea Room, after a 2 year absence. Since 2006, we have helped to support the Missions programs at Second Church through the proceeds of the Tea Room. We operate during the Spoleto Festival, as we have a captive audience with the Crafts Fair in our front yard. Tea Room is multi-generational and the most fun it is legal to have in a church setting. What's not to enjoy, FOOD, FUN AND FELLOWSHIP!
Our Tea Room is only successful with the help of our volunteer members. If you are new to our Second family, this is a wonderful way to get to know other members of the congregation and have great fun! We serve on Friday and Saturday, May 27-28, serving times of 11:30 am -2 pm. Volunteers arrive an hour ahead of serving to train and help get stations ready. All volunteers are fed, a definite plus.
Prep Day is Thursday, May 26, from 10 am - 2 pm, later only if we do not get it all done. We need 8-12 volunteers for prep. We need 25-30 volunteers for each day of Tea Room. Nursery is available for our staff.
There are many ways to be a part of Tea Room. We only serve homemade desserts, so we are always in need of your expert baking skills. Wait staff, kitchen staff, dessert, take-out are some of the areas of volunteer need. Our Tea Room needs YOU to make our reopening a success. I ask that you prayerfully consider how you can help. The volunteer sign-up poster will remain until Sunday, May 15 and online sign-up will end on Wednesday, May 18.
The Tea Room Committee is working hard to get things ready, We hope that you will join us to support our Missions programs by helping to make our reopening a spectacular one.
THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING!
Blessings,
The Tea Room Committee

Second Presbyterian Church is looking forward to hosting a few Piccolo Spoleto Spotlight performances again as well as The Sandwich Stop this year in conjunction with the first weekend of the Piccolo Spoleto Craft Show.
PICCOLO SPOLETO SPOTLIGHT SERIES

Our beloved Tea Room will not be held this year due to safety guidelines recommended by the CDC for large gatherings. Plans are that it will return in 2022! “The Sandwich Stop” is a way that Second Church can continue the tradition of being a part of this exciting time of the year during Piccolo Spoleto. “The Sandwich Stop” will offer freshly made lunches for purchase by vendors and customers in Wragg Square during the first weekend of the Spoleto Crafts Show. We want folks to know that Second Presbyterian is here to serve.
Volunteers are needed for 2 hours each day to serve customers and other duties such as assembling lunches prior to the event. We also need a lot of homemade nut-free cookies and bar-type desserts. Monetary donations are welcomed to help pay for items needed to make the lunches. “The Sandwich Stop” will be set up outside in the shade and safety precautions will be followed. Proceeds of this event go to Missions of Second Church to help those less fortunate. Please know that your help is needed and appreciated.
Email or send a text if you’d like to volunteer or need further information.
This time of year we are all usually busy hosting our Seconds Please Tea Room in conjunction with the Spoleto Arts & Crafts Fair. While we miss coming together to host the community, we still wanted to extend a bit of the Tea Room hospitality as best we could. We hope you enjoy the Pastor's (Daughter's) Sour Cream Apple Pie recipe.
Our annual Tea Room is a fundraising event to benefit our Missions program. Last year the Tea Room proceeds were given in support of: Water Mission, our Mission Co-Worker Leisa Wagstaff in South Sudan, Medical Benevolence Foundation, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy, Hands of Christ, Sea Islands Hunger Awareness Foundation, Water Wellness Mission, Shaw Center, and Star Gospel Mission.
Since Spoleto and our Tea Room had to be canceled this year, we will have to be creative to support these and other missions this year. Please give generously in support of Missions.
The "Seconds, Please" Tea Room is an annual lunch and dessert open to the public in conjunction with the Spoleto Festival Craft Fair in Wragg Square. The menu includes tomato pie, quiche, she-crab soup, and the pastor's sour cream apple pie and many other delicious homemade sandwich, soup, and dessert offerings. The Tea Room benefits the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston missions program.
