Parish Hall Clean-up Day is Saturday, July 15!
Clean-up Day starts at 9:00 a.m., Saturday July 15
As many of you may know, the nursery school and day care have moved to a new location. This provides us with an opportunity to rethink the use of the rooms and spaces in our Parish Hall.
The first task is to clean!!!!!
Cleaning one's own house alone is never as much fun as cleaning with others. And for many of us, the hardest part of cleaning is the pre-sorting and putting away of clutter around the house. "The floor is the largest shelf in the house," says a teenager we know. Doesn't make vacuuming, dusting, laundry easier to accomplish, though. And, because we know about all the clutter waiting for sorting through, and all the repairs and chores we ought to do around the house, the cleaning never seems to be completed.
This is where cleaning the Lower Parish Hall can help.
The rooms we need to clean in the Lower Parish Hall are Empty! Scrubbing, sweeping, & mopping are much more fun without furniture and 'stuff' everywhere. There is no carpet to deal with either. Plus it is a finite area. The coordinators have a clear idea of what they want to accomplish this Saturday, so it is a finite list of tasks to complete.
The Parish Hall Usage Committee is providing snacks & coffee in the morning and a cookout at lunch time after our work is done. They have some of the cleaning supplies, but they ask us to BYOB/G (Bring Your Own Bucket/Gloves), etc.
The Parish Hall is part of our church home. With the departure of the day care, we can make plans for the Sunday School's use of the lower hall. And we will be able to have all of our staff be in the same building on the same floor! Different groups that use the building, from within the parish and also the community, were asked to tell the Parish Hall Usage Committee about what their needs and wishes for their programs so we can figure out how to best fix up the spaces used.
But all of the visions for future uses are predicated on the next step: Getting the rooms cleaned and fixed up.
Let's come out in droves and make the Hall sparkle!
