Our mission in the United Methodist Church is to make disciples for Jesus Christ. While we do this in many ways, one of the most important is through the hospitality we offer to those who are new to our church or even to the faith. Because our building is the first sign of hospitality that a visitor receives, it is important to maintain its appearance.
Scheduled Clean Up Day:
February 4, 2012
Sanctuary Building Clean Up
In an effort to show the greatest possible hospitality to our visitors and guests, we have scheduled a day to clean and organize several areas of our sanctuary building. On February 4, items that are no longer needed in public areas will be moved to storage or disposed of. If you have any materials or property in the sanctuary building, you may wish to remove them before this date. If you are interested in volunteering for the Clean Up Day, please call or e-mail the church office.
