Spring Cleaning

Please join your fellow members for Immanuel’s Spring Cleanup Party Saturday, March 29, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to spiff up ahead of our Easter Celebration.  We are currently preparing a list of items we would like to have help with.  The list will be in the narthex on a clipboard starting March 2 for everyone to sign up for items you are willing to help with.  Examples of items that members can sign up for are windows inside and/or out, banisters, wood polishing, dusting high and low, power washing, yard work … 
For those less mobile, we will be working through the lunch hour, if you are able to prepare or serve lunch and snacks as the workers look for refreshments, this could be your contribution. 
We look forward to the day of service to our church building and one another.  We are so blessed to have both.
