Please bring a treat to share at coffee hour. We do not need tortilla chips
or crackers, and we have some leftovers from last week. All contributions,
especially fresh ones, will be gratefully received. Face it: yummy
treats—as well as coffee—are an important part of our Sunday tradition. And
volunteers (like you) make it happen.
