Attention Past Church Work Day Participants and Future Workers…
Your opportunity to come help beautify our wonderful campus again is coming up on Saturday, September 10. We will gather near Mission Field around 8am and venture off to pull weeds, trim bushes, and rake rock among many other projects to spruce up the whole campus. Please wear your working clothes and provide your own gloves and hats. Please also bring your own favorite rakes, pruners, lopers, etc. to join the fun. We will also need several folks to bring their pickup trucks who would be willing to make a run to the City dump with clippings. The church will provide ice water and donuts.
We would also like to use this work day occasion to introduce the church body to an opportunity to volunteer your talents on an on-going basis to assist the church on future projects. We have some future xeriscape projects and indoor minor remodeling projects that we are hoping to accomplish with in-body expertise. So, if you are skilled in carpentry, plumbing, dry wall, etc., please look up Jim Smith during the work day and signup for some future project. Contact Sam Mouck at operations@hoffmantown.org if you have any questions.
