Under the heading Church Library, our service folder included this notice: “If you haven’t recently checked out the church library, located on the south end of the fellowship hell, please do so” (emphasis added, thankfully). Really, we have a very nice fellowship hall that serves us very well, but evidently the computer didn’t agree.
