WUMC Weekly Update: August 9, 2010
The church's kitchen is sparkling!
Thanks to the volunteers, cupboards have been scrubbed inside and outside, contents rearranged, and new labels have been made for each! Several items are designated for Trifles & Treasures, too. Thanks to the work done by Russ Line and Ken Evans, dividers have been placed in the drawers for cooking utensils, and they make a huge difference in the organization of those drawers.
