It's a black Michael Kors, puffer style, knee length, hooded and there was a pair of black gloves in the pocket. If you took this coat by mistake, please bring it back to church and hang it in the front coat closet.
NOTE: It's possible that it could be a woman that came for the congregation meeting that day. If you know who this might be, please contact her.

Beet Cake for Bryce
In a recent children’s sermon, Bryce had talked about putting things that don’t ordinarily go together and had the kids think of what goes in a cake.
