We Work and Worship Together

Today, we had a workday to tidy up a bit, give the grounds their last manicure before winter, and prepare for Homecoming. I said "today," but the work really went on all week. Those who could not be here today came out early to cut grass (we have about 60 cleared acres), edge sidewalks, paint, dust, sanitize toys in our nurseries, wash curtains, condition the wood on the pews, spruce-up our baptismal changing rooms, and more! Then today, people were working in the flower beds, running weedeaters, trimming bushes, cleaning grass out of sidewalk cracks, spreading pinestraw, spreading mulch, blowing sidewalks, cleaning the Worship Center, making tea, moving equipment, setting-up tables and chairs in the gym for our Homecoming feast, and still more!

Stewardship comes in many forms and taking care of the beautiful facilities that God has given us is part of stewardship. Personal involvement and taking ownership are part of bringing a church together and a good exercise in team building. This week, we not only "cleaned-up" our campus, but we eliminated things that might have been distractions to those who come to worship.

Overall, there were probably 60 people involved throughout the week and on the workday! This is the strength of EBC... People who love God, want others to know God, and are willing to do whatever is necessary to make that happen. Including the dirty work!
