• Around the buildingTake a glance at the desk in the lobby — a little collection of items left behind over the past few weeks is waiting to be claimed (that travel mug you've been missing might be there). Some kid items are in the blue bin in the Kids Area hallway too. And our resident "wee church mice" have been leaving behind empty communion cups around the auditorium again — sleight-of-hand pros, save the tricks for family game night and toss your cups on the way out.
