Our Plan for Keeping Our Church Clean
Why We Work Together to Do This?
As a community, we pray about the "beauty of Thy house" during liturgy, and we want to take good care of this beautiful house God has given us. We don't hire a housekeeper or have a sexton to do our "dirty work" for us, so young and old are encouraged to join in cleaning. How It Works
