8 Can You Help SPRUCE? The Trustees are seeking volunteers to do short-term cleaning and sprucing of our buildings. We will provide the supplies and assign you a task or project of your choice. You just tell us WHAT you want to do and WHEN. Tasks include: dusting, scrubbing, shining, washing windows (no ladders!), washing walls, cleaning floors and corners, and refinishing window ledges. There may be some painting tasks. You can work alone or with a team you organize. Another good option is to pull together your Sunday School class members or teaching team or your small group members to tackle a thorough cleaning of the space you use regularly. (You may even get enthused enough to clean out cupboards!) It's spring! The sun shines! The Son reigns! We can praise God by showing pride and appreciation for our sacred worship space! If you can help, choose your task, pick the date and time that works for you or your team, and send this information to Ronnie Bohn, using ronniebohn@comcast.net or The Trustees will make the necessary arrangements.
