After many years of organising the church cleaning rota, Wendy has
taken a well earned break and handed that role to me.
With the new heating system the church has a more welcoming
atmosphere and seems therefore, easier to clean, and we are trying a
new approach of a group clean every few months. It is proposed that in-
between the BIG CLEAN there is a fortnightly rota to ensure everything
stays in order. To this end a group of us met recently and beavered
away removing the dust and cobwebs of the last year, which had
gathered during the three lockdowns, the church having to be locked
had prevented the usual regular attention.
We would welcome any new recruits, as ’Many hands make light work’.
If like me you find housework irksome and a chore I can assure you that
it’s much more rewarding and enjoyable to work in a group, taking just
one area in which to concentrate one’s efforts. And as if a gleaming
brass isn’t enough of a reward there’s a slice of Liz’ delicious sponge to
accompany a well earned cuppa with a chat to round off the afternoon.
Please join us....and thanks for reading this far! Jan Burnett 348627 or
