     Let's fix up our church before Sunday!
 
Causing God great joy by sharing his love with others October 19, 2008
Greetings!

Thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday and helped prepare the church and the house for Advent at Arlington.
 
But...
           We still have more work to do!
 
Please look over the following list of jobs and consider if you can help us out sometime this week or next.  We will arrange to get you in to work whenever your schedule permits.  There will be people working at the church everyday this week.
 
Let Bob Fencl know if you can help and he will coordinate your work and access to the buildings.  You can contact Bob at 901-734-1395 (cell) or at bfencl@wmt.com (email).
 
I am anxious for us to be able to gather in our own place as we begin this process of preparing for our launch in March.  So let's fix up our initial place of worship and make it home!
