Today we had a gotong-royong to clean the church. The main focus was the chairs....labelling and treating them. Labeling was done in a jiffy as there were quite a number of people to do it...all quite
cekap.
Breakfast was provided. We'd have worked for free. But food is always welcomed cos it's always nice to eat with company. 8)
Treating the chairs. Basically we just sprayed the bottom with insect spray to get rid of possible weevils. The factory said there might still be some. ...this is one factory we shouldn't buy the chairs. For that price, since we have to spray it some more, might as well get from Carrefour. So since we want the chairs to last as long as possible, thought we'd rid them of the pests. The whole sanctuary smelled strongly of the insecticide for quite a while.
And since we were already at it...we also gave all the plastic chairs there a good wipe and also the floor a good clean-up.
Footprints on the tiles... 8) All in all it was a nice get-together. Was fun working together. Got some time to
sembang-sembang and many hands do make light work.
One thing though...there was a lack of young people around.... the young people's presence was missed. I am told that they are very busy.. sigh! These days... when it comes to things like this, there're always tuitions and other stuff. I thought this make good service...it may not be 'glamourous' like doing all the more visible stuff (playing instruments, leading, etc) but they're are equally important. Without a clean place, where then will we worship?.... and I think we're very blessed to have a Property Chairman who is a very hands-on person.
