          And  summer barbeque & blues fest and the Celtic Fest are also feast days, as is the beginning day of the minor league baseball season. (Only if your town has a minor league)

            we noticed that when we first starting going to an Episcopal church 6 years ago. Coffee hour is just something one goes to if they attended mass that day.
            It is rather like pot luck dinners for Methodists when I was a kid growing up Methodist.

            Fundies just take their coffee with them into their services ! I laugh at some of the mega churches with their coffee and juice bars in the lobby.
            I would not want to be their Janitor!

            But that is the only thing I liked when I went with a friend to an Evangelical church. You can eat a donut in the lobby before church and take your coffee right into the service with you.  LOL!!!

              Usually on a Sunday, you don't have anything to eat until after the Eucharist.

              After that you head on downstairs to coffee hour where you eat bagels and chat about everything and anything like a real life open thread.

       I think by the time November rolls around the Republican base (or the bottom feeders as we say) will be voting for Paul or Barr or the ghost of Strom Thurman. So, it really doesn't matter who the Democrat is. That's why I'm supporting Obama. We have a chance to make real change where we don't have to compromise our basic beliefs and hold our nose in the voting booth. This is this generation's chance to start making things better rather than just trying to keep them from getting worse. Does anyone seriously think that America is going to elect John McCain? For Republicans to vote for him they don't only have to hold their noses, they have to close their eyes.
