You can help

Do you like to work on projects around the house? I'm not talking about doing things that you have to do because the house will fall down. I'm talking about working on projects that will enhance your home. If you do, then in between projects at home, you can have a real ministry here at church.

Our Property Committee is always working on one thing or another. Right now they are painting the Church nursery and planning on putting in new lighting and a suspended ceiling. Mark Rogers, Randy Sargent, Nancy Allen and Pete Adams are having fun. They have come down a few times to get the area ready and have applied a primer coat. They told me that they can always use more help.

Talk to one of them if you want to get involved. If this project doesn't suit your fancy, there are several others that are on the radar. The group is talking about gutting the old Men's room off the basement and turning it into a pantry area for pots, pans and kitchen supplies. Brent Weimer is looking to build a smoke proof room around our furnaces and he could use help raising the walls. Will Calderon could use some help waxing the floors in the sanctuary.

The truth is that there are always jobs to do around the church .Before long we will be doing some more landscaping. Sue Vanase, Nancy Allen, Carol Calkins, Cynthias Strouse, Andrew Higgins, Marge and Bob Booth and Patricia and Steve Ohlund and a few others did a lot of work last year. They could always use help watering, planting and pruning.

Someone noted that the parking lot has several gaping cracks. Do you know how to resurface driveways. Maybe you could lead a group of volunteers to tackle that project next summer.

Now I know this sounds silly but with this past Sunday's storm, I was reminded that we need people to shovel after every storm. Some people actually enjoy getting out there and doing it.

Well there you go. These are just a few more ways that you can contribute to the ministry using your God given talents.
