Church Bee - Cleaning Bee

The men made a pancake breakfast for all who wanted to come out for it, on Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
Bob W., Don Q. and Bob W. all did their share to have the food ready to serve.

Right after the meal was cleaned up, Orchard City Church held a short business meeting.
Roland S. shared a Bible verse and Pastor Bob had the worship thought and prayer.

Roland makes us smile with his pleasant dry humour
Our business meetings are not boring
More smiles and laughs

After the business meeting ended the clean-up work bee started.

Lots of cleaning was done and so many people helped out.
So nice to see everyone working together.

Bob W. works on the bankside
Four men needed to lift the dolly
We need cups for the water!!
Terry P. does his part
Break time for Regine, Lori and Ruby, to have some of the leftover orange juice from breakfast.
They worked hard on the kitchen - cleaning and organizing it.
Dave B. and Roland wonder about the tree maybe?
I saw Roland with several different jobs to do. This was one of them.
Duane and Arnie change a light bulb (or maybe two or three) in the sanctuary
Pastor Bob, Don, Arnie Sr., and Doug L. problem solve
Paul B. works on the tool shed
Regine scrubs the oven
Don brought the dolly to move the tool shed away from the window in the Kid's Corner
Dave B. still can smile big even after all the work. As head deacon, I am sure he is pleased with all the willing workers.
Handyman Tom S. works on the tool shed

 What a beautiful setting for a pretty little church and church family to come home to each Sabbath.

  1. Sounds like I missed a lot of fun!! But I had my hands full in Ahmic Harbour, Ontario where we were helping my little brother Victor to get his 18th century house turned into a Gallery. I was tired and ready for home. See you all tomorrow. ~Sylvia

  2. Looks like a nice breakfast and a good group working together to make the church and the grounds look a little better! By the way, where is the tool shed? I don't remember the church having one.
