District Workday

The IL/WI District Leadership Team has planned a workday at the Douglas Park Church of the Brethren on Saturday, July 31, 2010, from 8:00am to 3:00pm. The invitation is open to everyone to participate in this district-wide event including persons with specific skill levels (electrical, carpentry, plumbing, etc.) as well as those with minimal skills. There will be something for everyone to do. The district’s tool trailer will be on-site. However, if you have paint brushes, yard and hand tools, and gloves, bring these items along with you.

This workday is in response to the ministry that is expanding at Douglas Park. Glory to Glory Ministries, the new church plant, and the Douglas Park congregation are mutually engaged in providing food and clothing to persons in the community. Other activities are happening on the premises as well. More people are attending worship services. With increased ministry opportunities developing and occurring, the need for a safe and improved facility is paramount. Your contributions to this workday project will be a benefit to the ministries at Douglas Park and to the surrounding community, also.

Come enjoy a day of working together in Christian love and fellowship!

(To do list: basement walls and floors repaired and painted; men’s restroom cleaned and painted; flooring put down in kitchen; cabinets cleaned inside and out and painted; yard raked; weeds pulled; flowers planted; grass seed sown; sanctuary floor sanded, stained, and varnished; and more)
