*Please bring a tasty treat to share at coffee hour*. Leftovers in our
fridge will be two weeks old or older, so, the crackers, tortilla chips,
and store-bought cookies will all be fine, but... All contributions,
*especially
fresh ones*, will be gratefully received. Yummy treats (and coffee) are an
important part of our Sunday experience. Volunteers (like you) make it
happen.
