Christmas Seal ThanksNo, this isn’t an appeal to support the Lung Association with the traditional kind of Christmas Seals. This is a note of thanks to the crew that braved chilling winds last week to work in the parking lot in front of Building E sealing the cracks. Part of the Operations staff, plus a hardy group of volunteers from the church body, worked on cleaning and sealing the cracks to preserve the parking lot and extend its life. Thanks so much for your time and dedication. If you have a skill to contribute, or just a willingness to be a laborer assisting in projects here at the church, please see Jim Smith to sign up for the next work project.
When Winter Calls, Come HelpNow that winter is fully upon us we can expect snow any time. When we get any snow accumulation at all at the church it must be removed from the north facing sidewalks from Buildings B, C, D and E before it becomes ice and endangers church goers or the school children. That is a lot of sidewalk square footage. Any day of the week the snow must be removed – not just on Sundays. So, if you want some exercise on snowy mornings, come join us and help shovel the sidewalks clear.
