Clean-Up Week

by

The trustees have decided to designate May 5th – May 11th as clean-up week. Small groups or individuals may choose to come to the church and clean up a flower bed or other areas that may need cleaning, weeding, blowing, raking, etc. It can be any day or time of day you can make it – preferably when it is sunny.

Many areas around the church have already been assigned to people and they have started early. So we have decided to make assignments instead of having a sign-up sheet. Please look over assignments below and choose an area or chore that you would like to do. Then email or call the church office so we can coordinate the effort. Larry will confirm your assignment and add your name to the list. So, bring your tools, shovels, rakes, blowers to help us clean and beautify the outside of our church. If you have a suggestion of something that needs to be done – forward it to the office, thanks.

Many of the chores and areas need to be maintained throughout the summer – so we are not limiting this work to just one week but rather we are hoping that assignments will at least be started by May 11th. Thank you for your support! There are inside chores as well, if you would prefer to work inside. The scrubbing angels will be here Thursday, May 16th at 10am to clean the restrooms, fellowship hall, hallways, sanctuary, narthex as well as the counseling, and conference rooms.
