Be a Lighthouse Keeper
Outside groups use our Lighthouse regularly for meetings and parties (www.westsidejourney.com/building-use-request)
We need a team of volunteers who will ensure that the building is neat and tidy before and after events.
If you are available mid-week or on Sundays before or after worship, please email the church office. Our office admin will notify the team when an event is scheduled so that a member of the team can drop by. It shouldn’t take more than 10-20 minutes per event.
Thank you for your valuable help!
