Work Party - March 7

There will be a work party at the Church on Saturday March 7 from 9:00 AM until late afternoon. The main focus of this work party is a sprucing up of the basement. We will be painting and making minor repairs in the kitchen, as well as painting the main room in the basement. Other projects (time and man(woman)power permitting) include completing the renovation work in the men's bathroom, installing a baby changing table in the women's bathroom and general tidying up. All are welcome for whatever amount of time you can commit. Come for an hour or stay the whole day. All help is appreciated. It is a great time for fellowship with other members of the congregation. Lunch will be served.
