Thank you to all who helped make the Lighthouse shine on Sunday! Great teamwork led to great results!
The Lighthouse Keepers team will be meeting soon. Please let Stephanie R or the office know if you would like to help out occasionally, on your schedule, to maintain the brilliance.
Please join us after worship this Sunday, March 19, to do a thorough cleaning of the Lighthouse.
This building is used by several outside groups, so it could use a little TLC. The usage fees provide a small but steady income for the church.
There will be a task list posted. Supplies will be provided but feel free to bring your rubber gloves and/or anything else that you like to clean with.
Thank you for your help!

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 for about 20 minutes per month, please email the church office. Our admin, Virginia, will notify you when an outside group has an event scheduled in the Lighthouse. Pop by and make sure the building is clean and tidy.
Outside events raise funds for the church’s ministries. So talk to your Westside friends and let’s get a team of persons to share the (minimal) duties. Thanks for your help!
Thank you for your valuable help!
