We need lots of volunteers to make our directory a success. Beginning this week,
we need 2-3 volunteers

Directory Committee
and help coordinate the event. If you are interested in helping with this initiative, please fill out a form from the lobby and drop it in the office mail slot or email the Parish Manager

Fall Clean Up Day By: Michael Karagoulis
|
|
|
This fall for cleanup day we should focus on several outdoor and indoor tasks:
- Leaves & Pine Cones
- Tree pruning
- Removing the 2 prune trees at the entrance that are dying
- Bush and ornamental grass trimming
- Nave (sanctuary) cleaning and minor repairs
- Basement clean & sweep
- Shed clean & sweep
- Cleaning dead bugs out of interior light fixtures
The list will morph a bit as the date approaches.
Saturday, September 11th, 2017 from 9am to 1pm
. There is no signup sheet. We just do as much as we can with the adults and kids who come. All are welcome. It is always a good time, and very satisfying to work together on God's house. It is highly appropriate that we participate in this sacrifice of time at the start of the Advent season.
