*Regarding coffee hour:* This will be a meet-and-greet for Rev. Evan Young,

crackers to last a lifetime, a new bag of pretzels, and plenty of packages
of cookies, plus a lot of sweet treats in the freezer--which still have a
shelf life. All contributions, *especially fresh ones*, will be gratefully
received.
Our Time, Rev. Evan Young, guest speaker

renounce it honestly as impracticable.” —Aden Ballou

Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season.

It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or
future year.

It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow.

Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the
harvest and the playtime.
