Problem Solvers Coffee Club
Mondays at 10:00 a.m.
The Problem Solvers are an irreverent bunch of philosophers,
male & female; who argue amongst themselves about politics, religion, and
many of life's absurdities. Besides chewing the fat, they take turns
bringing goodies and normally stay until the coffee is gone (at least the
leaded coffeepot)) Except for holidays, they usually meet in the cummings room at 10:00
a.m. on Mondays. Feel free to drop in, or contact church member Mickey Thompson for further
vague information.
