The Fellowship Coffee time is from 9:45 to 10:15. There is a sign up sheet in the coffee room if you would like to bring cookies. We are always in need of Oreo's - the kids love them. If you would prefer to make a monetary donation for cookies, coffee or punch, please contact Bill or Donna Metzler.
Thought for the day:
O God, our light and salvation, show us the spendor of your promises. Whether we find comfort or discomfort in your ways, send your Spirit to strengthen us as we follow. Amen.
