God’s Work Our Hands
WE HAVE MANY-MINI PROJECTS AT THE CHURCH. Projects that with many hands would be mini-work. In order to take these projects on, and include as many people as possible we scheduled one Sunday a month after church, and one Wednesday a month mid-morning throughout the summer. We plan to only spend about an hour each time. The following is our schedule. If you have other mini-projects that extra hands would help make quicker work of these you may add them to the list, or just join us. Besides these projects weeding around our sign, and in our flower beds is always appreciated.
Sunday, June 14th 10:30AM will be Paint Day. Wear something that can get messy to church. Bring a brush if you can.
