Teams for the Bldg & Property
Many of us have asserted that our bldg is a key part of our mission in helping people to know God and to be able to turn their lives around through our own direct ministries and those of other groups that use our bldg like AA and other 12 Step recovery groups. However, very few of us have been directly invovled in caring for the bldg. With the economic crunch and with our focus on owning all the pieces of our mission and ministry with our whole lives and not just our money, we are starting teams to care for the facility. Please sign up to be on one of our Levite care teams for this building and property. (The Levites took care of the Temple in the Bible). The “Matthew”* team will take care of the inside of the bldg. The “Luke”** team will take care of things outside the bldg. And the “John” team will take care of all the restrooms. We haven’t found a designation for “Mark” yet! We would really like everyone to spend at least one year on one of these teams. The sign up sheets are in the front lobby or email office@fairlawnwest.org.
*Matthew is the gospel for the "insiders" of the religious tradition. **Luke is the gospel for the "outsiders" who are excluded not just religioiusly, but societally as well.
