We'll begin at 8:00 a.m. and plan to be done around noon. Some of the jobs on our "to do" list will be raking the mulch in the playground, washing the courtyard windows, trimming bushes and trees, cleaning out the window wells and other tasks to get ready for fall/winter. Bring window washing supplies, rakes and trimmers, if you can.
We'll hope for a nice fall day to work, so wear your work clothes and come join in on the fellowship of sprucing our building and grounds up in preparation for a joyous holiday season.

NEEDED
From time to time we have needs at the church that might be taken care of through things you may be getting rid of. A new safety standard for cribs was put into place last year. The new crib regulations prohibit the sale and use of drop side rail cribs in a child care center or other public venue. We have three very nice cribs in our nursery, but unfortunately, they have drop side rails. The cribs aren't used very often and they take up a lot of room in our nursery. WE would like to replace the cribs with Pak 'n Plays which can be stored easily and set up only if there is a need. If you happen to have a Pak 'n Play in excellent condition that you would like to donate to the church, we'd gladly take it.
