A REWARDING WAY TO SPEND TIME WITH GOD
I have been a coordinator for church cleaning for a year now and find the short 3-4 hours it takes once a month very rewarding and a very special time to spend with God. Please consider stepping up and volunteering to take charge of cleaning God’s house for one weekend a month. I would love to answer any of your questions and/or meet you at church to give details. What a great way to show God how grateful we are for all He does for us.
