Property Day

We had a remarkably profitable property day yesterday. The weather was excellent, and we had over 40 volunteers who came at various points during the day. We completed painting the fences, re-painted rooms in the Lighthouse, tidied up all the paths and front garden, added more bark to the Lighthouse garden, re-felted a shed, prepared some windows for painting and gave a good deep clean to various parts of the building. There is still plenty to do, but we certainly made a significant dent in the list! A massive thank you to everyone who helped. As a church we perhaps need to reflect more deeply on how we can build in some time on a regular basis to keeping up with maintenance rather than organising occasional days like yesterday. I have already had some volunteers who have offered to maintain specific parts of the garden area which is great. From a personal perspective, the experience of working together throughout the day was very rich, and it's great to share in these kind of days together.
