LADIES CLEANING DAY
March 21
9-11am
Hello ladies!
As the work around the church continues to wrap up, we have an opportunity this Saturday, March 21, from 9–11am to do some deep cleaning in preparation, not only for this Sunday, but also for Resurrection Sunday coming quickly.
If you’re able to help with dusting, wiping out drawers, washing windows, wiping down walls, or vacuuming, we would love to have you join us. There is plenty to do, and many hands will make the work light.
Please bring cleaning rags if you have them. The church will provide cleaning supplies, and you may want to bring your own rubber gloves.
Also, please note:
There will NOT be a work day this Saturday. Blake is gathering some teens to help with upcoming projects, and Willis has already finished the mulch...thank you, Willis!
