*Please bring something yummy to share at coffee hour*. Once again, our
selection of leftovers from last week is kind of sad. There are two bags of
pretzels and a bag of chips, some partial boxes of crackers,
odds-ands-sweets, but really kind of sad. I hope you'll bring something
fresh! All contributions will be gratefully received. Tasty treats (and
coffee) are an important part of our Sunday experience. Volunteers (like
you) make it happen.
…and Justice for All, Rev. Evan Young presenting
