St. Paul’s Spring Clean-up Project 2021
SPRING is here! And that means St Paul’s gardens and grounds need a little sprucing up. Here’s a list of the Spring Clean-up tasks to be accomplished and a sign-up wizard. We very much appreciate the time and energy you are putting forward to make St. Paul’s grounds beautiful for the return of in-person services this Spring!
A few notes:
- We highly recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and bring your own garden gloves.
- To the extent you need church tools for the task (rakes, shovels, wheelbarrow, bags for leaves, etc.), please text Tony Brady (412) 605-2338 and let him know what you need and when, and he will work with the Church Sexton to have them available.
- Leaf bags may be deposited in the dumpster at the bottom of the parking lot.
- Tony will confirm to all volunteers when mulch is delivered. But you can get started on the cleanup right away and come back to do the mulching when it arrives.
- Please send Tony a picture or two to his cell phone when your task is completed so you can receive credit!
- Any problems or questions, just text or call Tony.
- Please complete all tasks by the first week of May.
THANK YOU for helping to keep our grounds looking beautiful.
Tony Brady and Pam Ryan
