Many hands make light work, so come and help, even if
it's just for a short while. Via de Cristo keeps its belongings in a
semi-tractor trailer and it has to be hauled to each site on the Wednesday
prior to the weekend. Likewise, all the food and other purchases must be
transported to the site. Do you have a truck or van that could help in
this job? If so, let the Physical Arrangements chairman know.
At the site, the rooms must sometimes be cleaned a bit before they
are ready for us to use. Then all the boxes must be unpacked and
everything put in the right places for the weekend. All those beautiful
banners must be ironed and hung. The kitchen made ready to go. Beds have
to be unloaded and the sleeping quarters arranged. Maybe you and your
reunion group could volunteer for a part of the set-up.
And, as Sir Isaac Newton said: "What goes up must come down",
and Sunday is the day for tear-down. After you've been to church why not
drive to the site and offer your help? We really need help for tear-down
so that we're all packed and ready to go prior to the closing service.
