Levi Sunday

Levi Sunday is May 5^th, Save the date. Every Spring we gather together after service and spend a small part of our day caring for one of God’s many wonderful gifts – this church and property. There is something for everyone so please don’t be shy - we need many volunteers for this event! If you are the outdoorsy type (especially if you like to go to the beach), you can help clear the sand from the parking area and sidewalks! If you enjoy gardening you can work with the lawn crew to rake, weed, or prune trees and shrubs. There are windows to clean, and corners to dust, and other indoor beatification tasks too! Dress comfortably, wear sturdy shoes and join us after worship. We will start shortly after first service and continue through and after second service, ending around 1 pm. Come for an hour or stay for the day!

Items to bring (if available)

• Lawn Rakes
• Push Brooms
• Shovels
• Wheel Barrows
• Leaf Blowers
• Gloves (don’t want any blisters)
• Sun Screen
