Workday on Sat., March 29, 2025
We are blessed to have beautiful facilities that we all are proud to call our own. Please prayerfully consider joining us on Saturday, March 29, from 8:30 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. to contribute your time and talents for a day of work and fellowship. A list of suggested tasks has been developed, and there are opportunities for organizing, cleaning, and performing minor repairs to our buildings and grounds. Volunteers may select one or more tasks in advance so that required supplies can be purchased and available for use on March 29. If March 29 is not convenient for you, Pastor Michele and the Council will work to accommodate your schedule so that you may participate in this effort.
