Ahh the Four Seasons

December 22, 2019 Nehemiah Deacon Ministry

It’s cold out there

Winter is now back. Nehemiah has been busy keeping our church warm during these cold days. We utilized a Saturday and several work nights by removing and replacing window screens and storm windows. Other projects included working with all four of the window air conditioner units by removing and storing them away until next summer. Next we added some plastic here and there and even did some work to keep our gutters from freezing up. There has also been an upgrade with one of the furnaces because the old one simply wore out. Perhaps the biggest improvement was modifying and installing a new stage door on the west side of the church. It replaced the old original door which was looking quite weathered. Hopefully, that will help cut down on those nasty cold winter drafts we get in the sanctuary.

More various tasks

Other projects that we have finished this last summer/fall would be installing showers and drains in our new church campground shower house. We performed some servicing to one of the washing machines in the Street Level house.  There was a little component added to the coffeehouse trailer that helps assist how smoothly the water flows out of the tap. Gotta have good water pressure in there right? The cleaning closet next to the ladies’ room was reorganized, painted, and upgraded with new shelving and a door header. Nehemiah installed a new air conditioner in the third level of the church to help keep it cool up there on those hot summer days. Lastly, the coffeehouse kitchen exhaust fan motor was also replaced. That’s one of Nehemiah’s fortes in our fellowship. Replace, maintain, and improve the materials God has blessed us with.

Some final thoughts

Over the next several months Nehemiah is planning to renovate another bathroom in the Street Level house. One bathroom has already been renovated this last winter. We are currently working on finishing up some bookshelves for the front entrance of the church. There is some landscaping, tuck pointing, and other plans for this upcoming spring as well. Nehemiah is thankful to serve our church flock as well as our Lord and savior Jesus. He’s the reason all of this even takes place. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy celebrating the birth of Jesus.
