Building & Grounds Weekend Workdays

Twice each year a group of SCC members devote time to beautification and improvements of our buildings and grounds.  I must say it never ceases to amaze me: the diligence shown by our volunteers, no matter how small or great their contributions of time and effort.  Twenty-four individuals were involved in a variety of projects, the results of which will be obvious to even a casual observer. 

Consider the following accomplishments completed on the October 19^th & 20^th workdays:

• The sewing room was relocated to room 207 with a transfer of all equipment and supplies
• a new sewing machine carrying cart was assembled
• air conditioners were removed and stored
• windows “winterized”
• the courtyard, church lawn and play area were cleared of leaves and sticks (14 full bags)
• grassy areas on the church property were fertilized
• windows were installed in the library doors for “safe church” compliance
• a fallen tree at the Wormwood Hill property was cut up restoring drive-in accessibility
• ruts on the 195 side of the Meeting House were filled and seeded
• a defective faucet in the upstairs kitchen was removed and replaced
• a heavily damaged wall in the copy room was repaired and readied for painting
• a new bulletin board was mounted in the church office
• improved security lighting was installed outside the Parish House and Education Wing
• garden beds were prepared for the winter
• gutters on the Chapel were cleaned out
• plexiglass sign holders were installed in different locations throughout the Parish House.
