Church Clean-up Day

Maybe it's revisionist history, but my perception is that in years past, churches in America benefited greatly from church clean-up days and similar volunteer armies descending upon the facility to fix things up. Maybe my perception is off base, but for a few, the church clean-up day is fading. Stubborn as I can be, we still schedule them.

This past Saturday eight adults and 12 teenagers worked the morning at Grace to spruce the facility up in preparation for this Saturday's Egg Hunt and the Easter services on April 8. While 20 people amounts to a smidgen of a percentage of our total attenders, I greatly appreciate their sacrifice to make the exterior of our church look good. They planted 576 pansies and put down more than a dump truck full of mulch. Did you notice how nice the flower beds looked yesterday?
