2008
May 3rd: We need lots of hands for this Work Day. We will primarily be working on sprucing up the lawn and outside of the church (raking, cleaning gutters, mulching, planting), but we also may focus on doing some cleaning and maintenance inside depending on the number of hands we get. Bring a rake, if you have one, and any other gardening tools. We want the church looking good for the Bishop's visit on May 10th. Pizza and soda will be provided.
April 12th: This work day will be the culmination of the prior work in April (see below), with the actual painting of the "mural" room. A sprayer will be used for the ceiling, and rollers/sprayer on the walls.
April 11th, Evening: This work evening, from 6:30 PM till as late as people can stay, will continue the work started during the previous week, with the hope of having the room completely prepped and taped in anticipation of April's main work day on April 12th.
April 5th: This work day will continue the work started on April 2nd (see below).
April 2nd, Evening: This work evening, from 6:30 PM till as late as people can stay, will be used to start to prep the "mural" room for repainting. Tasks to include cleaning, spackling, spot-priming, and taping.
March 15th: This work day will be used to do tasks around the church to prepare it for Easter. Come and help out!
February 9th: This work day will be used to migrate the Sunday School back down into our new basement space from the Parish Hall. Come one come all, because many hands will surely make light work for this one!
January 12th: To usher in the New Year, this will be a low-key Work Day. Changing light bulbs, putting plastic on the Guild Room windows, and other small tasks will be on the docket.
2007
December Work Day: In December there will be no offical work day, but all those who normally help out with them (as well as all other parishioners!) are urged to sign up for time slots to help sell trees at the Annual Christmas Tree Sale. For more information, please click here.
November 17th: This "mega" Work Day will be used to do a giant raking of leaves outside, to clean all but the very highest gutters in the Church, to winterize the guild room, and perform other tasks to help prepare the Church for winter. We really need LOTS of volunteers for this one! Pizza will be provided to reward everyone for a job well done. Please contact bagc@stjohns-jp.org for more information, and meet outside the church at 9:30 AM to begin work.
October 20th: This Work Day was used to clean up the church in preparation for the 125th Anniversary Celebration. Tasks included those both indoors and outdoors.
September 15th: Cleaned up the basement area in "Middle Earth" (otherwise known as the Mural Room), so that the contractors could remove all material that we wanted to get rid of.
