Summer Church Workbee

The weather did not stop a brave few from arriving at 10 am on June 4 for the church workbee. The Wrangell Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church tries to have a workbee twice a year. This provides an opportunity for the members to work on larger projects to help upkeep and clean the church.

This year due to the rain, the outdoor projects were put on hold. However indoors the crew was buzzing around. One church members asked for some music to keep the spirits of the team up. With piano hymns playing in the background, people started cleaning.

In the sanctuary, the pews were vacuumed and polished. The  pulpit and the communion table also received an extra shine. Another person worked on all the indoor windows. One person cleaned out a closet to make room for a new appliance. The bookshelf was tidied and song books were rotated and stored as needed.

While the crew was small on this day, the workbee will continue on. As in year's past some church members were not available due to the timing of the event. However, they had pledged to come and do various projects soon after to keep in the spirit of the workbee. Each year this mix of helpers has led to a cleaner and better organized space to worship in.
