GROUNDS workday

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:46:00 +0000

From Freda Butner:
All are invited to help with our GROUNDS workday this Saturday, October 22 from 9:00 am until around noon. You can participate early or later in the day as able. Bring gloves, rakes, water bottles, weed eaters, all kinds of trimmers and any other yard tools you may have. Up close to the church is finished, but the church sits on 16 acres, so there is plenty to keep dozens of people busy for a few hours. We need to clean up the space for the Christmas trees too. Pick a place to shape up for fall!

The older youth have decided to walk in the CROP walk and are inviting any other youth and Hallelujah Club kids to join them. This year, the CROP walk is in costume! It starts at 2, so after lunch at church, we will carpool over to Marbles Kids Museum. Please let me know if you/your child are planning to walk in the CROP walk and if you can help drive.

See www.cropwalkraleigh.com for more details.

Welcome!
