After evaluating Emmaus Road's GROUNDWORKS SUNDAYS (for background, read more here), it seems we have settled on a few changes. One of those changes includes flexible scheduling; we will no longer stick to fifth Sundays, especially when they fall on holiday weekends! This spring season, April 28 looks to be a promising day.
ROUTINE:
- 10:15AM arrive at New Horizons, enjoy coffee, food
- 10:30AM briefing; prayer
- 10:45AM fan out; get to work
- 12-1PM return to New Horizons for pizza
POSSIBLE PROJECTS
- Bingo Tournament with seniors at Simons Seniors Apartments (ages 3 and up) - Kristen VanderLinden lead
- Apartment cleaning for seniors - Pastor Eric Likkel lead
- Neighborhood cleanup (appropriate w/older kids) - David Anema lead
- New Horizons/Emmaus Road cleanup/organize, including scrubbing tables, chairs, working on inside and outside of new storage closet, both kitchens upstairs and downstairs, sorting Emmaus Road's storage closets - Biff Gaitan lead

We may have a volunteer willing to play with little kids in our nursery area (Nicole Molendyk, one of our Children's Ministry Volunteers).
