Cleaning Day in the Fellowship Hall

News, Recovery

This is exciting- because it means that we are almost ready to open the hall for use!

                                                        Church Work Day information

Saturday, January 14, with your help, we will be one step closer to returning to our own building. The fellowship hall and foyer need a thorough cleaning before we can worship in this space.

  • All walls and woodwork need to be dusted with dry mops or rags.
  • All floors need to be cleaned—some of which will be some “on your knees” scrubbing.
  • Interior window washing will improve our view of the great outdoors.

Items in the sanctuary need to be cleaned and moved to make room for work in that space.

If you can bring any of the following, it will help with our joined effort to have

“many hands make light work”.

  • Dust mop
  • Wet mop
  • bucket
  • nylon scrubbers
  • window squeegee
  • Shop vac
  • clean rags
  • paper towels
  • work gloves
  • vinyl gloves

The planned work will vary in difficulty.  While we can use a few strong backs, there will also be things less demanding.  Some of our older children may even be able to help for part of the day.

This is a three-day weekend for many of us.  Please try to spend part of your Saturday in this cleaning effort as we work together starting at 8:30 AM for as long as we can.

A light lunch will be served

Painting!

Recovery

This Saturday- 11/19- we are going to paint. Most of the 31 gallons need to be on the walls.

We have many who have already said they are coming- if you would like to help paint please contact Sarah Bramer: sarahlynn34 (at) hotmail.com .

9 am start.

Lunch provided.

Good time.

Recovery Update- 11/28/11

Recovery

We have had two successful volunteer work days at the church. The hall was insulated and is ready for drywall. The grounds were improved significantly with a many people-hours. Chairs, tables, and furniture were cleaned. A huge thanks to everyone who helped.

This Saturday is another work day to  wipe down chairs organizing furniture.
Soon, we’ll be ready to paint! So find your supplies.

On November 20th after worship we are going to have an worship inquiry session with Phyllis Palsma. The intent is to reflect as a congregation on what we appreciate about worship and our worship experiences. The hope is that it will give us an idea about what we want out of our Sanctuary once pen is put to paper.

Committees for every day of the week

Recovery

Part of our recovery process is to evaluate each space that we use. Committees have formed around each of those spaces: fellowship hall, kitchen, food pantry and sanctuary.This is along side of the existing property and a newly established finance committee to coordinate efforts. If you would like to be on a committee sign up Sunday morning or email: reformed@ midtel.net
