One of the wonderful things about the people who come out for B&G Work Parties is their willingness to pitch-in and take on a job when they see a need.
In the middle of October there was a windstorm. The next day, Monday, Bryan Buck, the president of the church board, stopped by to check on the amount of needle fall there had been. He filled three toters (trash cans) and called Harris to do an extra pick up. On Tuesday Bryan came back to fill them again. He found Merle Oberg out raking pine needles. They filled the three toters and then just raked the needles into massive piles that were placed as out of the way as possible.
Another example that really impressed me was when Beverly Jordan, Community Life Coordinator, introduced me to Haibiba Peterson and Wil Devine, prospective members who wanted to get involved in B&G. Haibiba had already decided she wanted to take on sweeping the entry of the church each week but needed to find out how to make it happen. She figured out how to make it work and I helped fill in the other parts. That is such a generous offering to the church. Please thank her when you see her.
There are many areas I am sure you notice need attention at the church. We are willing to work with you to help make our church home a more welcoming place. You can have the feeling of accomplishment that you have added to the enjoyment and appreciation of us all.
