I'd Rather Be a Doorkeeper....

In Psalm 84, the Psalmist writes about the joy of worship in the temple. He says, "A day in [God's] courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness."

I'm sure the men who gathered this morning for fall cleanup at the church were thinking that exact thing....especially Carl, John and Jerry who literally worked on the Sanctuary doors! Ken Hunter has really whipped these men into action, since the Education Wing doors that he worked on a while back gleam with polished brass and fresh white paint! Of course, I'm left to wonder why it took three men to work on the Sanctuary doors when it took only one to finish the Ed Wing doors.... (Could this be the beginning of a "How Many Presbyterians Does It Take" question?)

Anyway, thanks to Seth, Ken, Carl, John and Jerry for giving their time and energy this morning to making our building and grounds look a bit nicer! We're beginning to experience the inevitable: as our building project continues to unfold before us, the rest of our facility needs some sprucing up!

What can you do to help? Give Jerry Germroth, chair of Building and Grounds, a call. He's got a list of things that didn't get accomplished today!

In the meantime, enjoy a few pics from today's Men's Fall Cleanup Day .....

literal "doorkeepers."

Making sure it's the right fit...

Three happy "doorkeepers in the houes of the Lord!"

What's this? John Coleman on his knees in church?!
How often do we see this?
