How do you add a service to an existing host?

Usually, I go to the Core Configuration Manager (CCM) by clicking on 'Configure' on the main page,
then clicking on Core Configuration Manger under Advanced Configuration on the left pane.
You can use a wizard from the 'Quick Tools -> Configuration Wizards' menu, or manually
configure a service from the Monitoring->Services page

(Once you create a service using a wizard, you can go back and modify the settings with the CCM.)

There is some general GUI info here:

There's a at quick drive-by of the Configuration Wizards starting at 3:40 into the video.
It ricochets off the CCM shortly thereafter.

Other videos:
This one shows one way to access the CCM:

Cat, based upon the nature of the question I'd guess that your original services were set up with a wizard. Following jwelch's advice is a perfectly adequate solution, however you should also know that rerunning a wizard will not remove existing services. You can always add more services by just running a wizard again (or even a totally different wizard) you just need to use the same name to identify the host when running the wizard and services will be added as needed.
