 Workday Pictures
Four or five times a year folks gather at the church at 8AM on
a Saturday for an all-church workday. Mulching, weeding, trimming,
painting - the activities are varied. Click
here to see pictures from one workday, including one of Mark
Acuff on a tractor! Watch the bulletin for workday dates!
Can't sing, preach, or teach? No problem!
Have you wanted to serve in the church but haven't seen a place where
your talents and gifts fit? Maybe you can't lead worship, your welcome
bread could chip a tooth, and teaching Sunday School scares you to death.
However, you do know how to change a lightbulb and you enjoy working outdoors.
Maybe helping out with CHBC building needs could be the ministry for you.
Most Bible Church members don't realize the magnitude of what goes on
behind the scenes to keep the building and grounds looking good. While
workdays help tackle big jobs, there are other smaller tasks that need
to be done on a continual basis. Below is just a sampling of the jobs.
 Kitchen
Would you like to be trained on how to use our commercial kitchen?
Maybe you are a great teacher and would like to train others. We also
need volunteers to help organize the pantry or clean out the fridge or
even washing dishtowels.
 Setup
It is not unusual to have 8 to 10 events happening in a single day at
the
Bible Church. Most of these groups need rooms set up (moving chairs,
tables, making sure they have the right AV equipment) and then reset for
the next group. Not only do we need help with set up in classrooms, Fireside
Room, etc., but when we have a large event in the auditorium, it
takes a
team of 10 people 3-4 hours to reset the chairs.
 Cleaning
With well over a thousand people walking through the church each
week, there is
bound to be dust and dirt left behind. We could always use help cleaning
windows, sills, and blinds. You could help take out trash and recycling
or even
help pick up communion cups the first Sunday of the month. We even have
our
own muddy footprints to deal with, so we could use help spot cleaning
the
carpet as well.
 Maintenance
How many volunteers does it take to change a light bulb? With 1,948 lightbulbs
in the church, it could take a whole team. We also have 76 air filters
that need
changing periodically. If you like to paint, walls need almost constant
touch up
to cover scuff marks. If you have electrical, mechanical, or plumbing
skills,
those could be put to good use as well.
 Grounds
Weeding, mulching, seeding. . . the list goes on. If you have a green
thumb
(or even a brown one, we're not picky), we could use your help. In addition
to the main grounds, we also have the softball and soccer fields to maintain
as well as a pond and irrigation system. Don't wait for a workday--you
can
adopt a spot! We'll give you your very own area on the Bible Church grounds
to beautify.
Have your own idea? Let us know and we'll try to make it happen!
If you would like to volunteer to be a part of the facilities ministry,
email Matthew. Even if you just
have an hour, we could use your help.
