The hospitality committee is a group of women organized in behalf of the women's department to show kindness in entertaining strangers, visitors and special guest. This committee is of vital importance in the local church, the district, state, and national. The hospitality committee should consist of women who are lovers of people, given to hospitality, enjoy making others happy through the giving of gifts, preparing dinners, entertaining guest at nice eating places, etc.

Their major functions locally are during special programs such as church and pastoral anniversaries, special sallies. They also serve in the district meetings and of course their most effective job is done in the state meetings. Both the bishop and state supervisor should be able to count on the hospitality committee for service. Occasions where flowers are necessary, the committee may be prepared to provide them.

Since the hospitality operates on a local, district, state, and national basis, the organization of it must have the following officers: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and many other officers deemed necessary by the presiding officer. The setup is the same for all levels of hospitality work. Example: An well-organized committee will serve as well in a local church as in the national convocation. A hospitality president must be a fund-raiser in order to foster the many that fall upon the committee. The best method id to map out a year's workable program of interest and finances.
