Work Day Reminder

Saturday  29 September

8:30 AM – 12:00 PM+

A friendly reminder to everyone at WUMC, this Saturday everyone has the opportunity to be part of the effort to make the Weston United Methodist Church a wonderful place for one and all.

If you like to work outdoors, there is plenty to do:

pruning, weeding, edging, dividing, raking, washing, etc.

If you prefer to work inside, there is plenty to do:

cleaning, organizing, washing windows, setting up, putting away, etc.

There also may be something that you feel needs to be done that no one has notices, and here’s your chance to take care of it.

The Trustees will provide coffee and donuts, and some outdoor tools.

All you need to bring is yourself, and any friends that want to help.
