Wow! We had a great turnout and a sizable list of accomplishments on Saturday. This is a partial list: Broken light fixtures replaced in hall, cleaning in the church (wash pews, kneelers, baseboards, icon screen, brass candle holders, litia or artoklasia tray, censer; vacuum carpet; removed wax from various surfaces), hang icons, move stored pews into hall and back porch of rectory for use (the process included removing 40 years worth of dried chewing gum from under each pew then washing and waxing), organize items in storage building & St. Mary’s hall, cleaned & moved cooling rack for baking from storage into hall for use, sautéed onions for next week’s KofC brunch, folded Sunday’s music handout & bulletins, pull weeds around entrance of hall.
The work was performed between the morning and evening liturgies. Most of our 19 volunteers attended the morning and/or evening Divine Liturgies too!
