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. Every 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.
