Have you ever wondered why there are (almost) no cobwebs in our church building or why there are no moldy sandwiches in our church refrigerator?
It’s because those are two of the chores that the ladies in the Thursday Group tend to. It’s also the reason that the outdoor gardens and indoor plants always look heathy, watered, and weeded. And the glass doors rarely have fingerprints and smudges. The Thursday Group ladies also change the baptismal font water weekly to prevent bacteria; scrub crayon marks off the children’s tables in the sanctuary; remove wax drippings from the sanctuary chairs after candlelight services. They clean ovens and kitchen cabinets and drawers. They wash all the windows, inside and out, every spring and fall. Not just the sanctuary windows, but the windows in the offices, Sunday School classrooms, and bathrooms. They sometimes tackle big projects, such as cleaning out the attic storage, painting, and taking home all the tablecloths to wash and iron.
To sum it up, they work behind the scenes to keep our church building and grounds clean and tidy. This past summer Erica Nania joined the group on a part time basis. If you’ve ever thought that you’d like to be an active part in the life of our church, consider joining the Thursday Group. Like Erica, if you aren’t available every week, come when you can. There’s always something to do. Talk to Gisela Wemple or Pat Woollett for more information on this very important volunteer opportunity.
