Convocation III churches are planning a work day at the Old Dominion
University Canterbury Center, Norfolk, on Saturday, April 20, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Click here
for the event flyer. We hope to see lots of parishes represented! Jobs
range from very simple to slightly more complex, but nothing requiring
exceptionally high levels of skill. Some require getting up on ladders,
others don't. There's lots of landscaping to be done, too, for those who
want to dig in the dirt. And we'll need at least one team to help with
snacks/lunch for the workers.
This will be such a huge
help to Canterbury Center--making the property look much sharper and
saving it a lot of money in its maintenance budget. The Canterbury
Center has spent well over $30,000 on big-ticket deferred maintenance
items since August, so every bit of donated skill and labor and
materials to fix the little things is invaluable.
If your parish is
planning on sending a group, please have someone call the Rev. Gillian
Barr, ODU Canterbury Chaplain, so she can make sure there are enough
supplies and supervisors, 757-351-4513. Workers should wear sturdy
shoes, and bring work gloves if they have them. Additional gear will
depend on which project(s) your team would like to focus on.
Thank you so much for your support of the Canterbury Center!
