CLEANING THE CHURCH – Are you called to this offering?

Cleaning the church as a volunteer is an act of self-sacrifice that is performed out of love for one’s family of faith and for Christ’s church.  It looks neither for compensation nor equal sacrifice from others.  It is a quiet offering that saves the church $5-6,000 a year.   If you feel you are called to this ministry, please call Bruce Quinn (352-6040).  Many hands make light work – less often.

REMEMBER:  EVERY TIME YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE, THINK ABOUT THE FOOD SHELF NEEDS.
