Well, this is a first: We are rich in leftovers for coffee hour, and even
some sweet treats in unopened packages. (And still more crackers and
tortilla chips that we can use in one week.) Still, fresh is best, and we
welcome all contributions to share at Coffee Hour on Sunday. Please join us
to build community and welcome newcomers.
