Playground Spruce Up
All the rain has made our playground mulch a little sparse looking. We’d like to order a truckload and were wondering if you’d be available to help spread it around? The rain has also made the weeds on the playground grow, maybe you’d be able to do some weeding and weed whacking? Please let Kathy King know if you can help. Kathy can be reached at 413-569-5151, extension 13.

Weeding or Carpet Cleaning?
Would either appeal to you? Would you be able to adopt one of our mulched areas and keep it weed free? Do you have a carpet steamer? Perhaps you’d be willing to steam clean the carpet in the church area? Please speak to Kathy King if you’d like to make either of these your summer ministry. Kathy can be reached at 413-569-5151, extension 13.
