BCM Cleanup Day at The Gate

Tomorrow is the cleanup day at the McKendree College Baptist Collegiate Ministry, also called The Gate. I had mulch delivered today for the new flower beds, and bought paint, drop cloths, paint scrapers, and paint roller sleeves last night. Hopefully, we'll have a good turnout and get a lot done. The weather is going to be hot (the forecast is for a humid 91 degree day), so we'll have to take it easy. Below is an excerpt of the E-Mail I sent out last night to the students at FBC O'Fallon and McKendree College.

Saturday June 12
BCM Spring Cleanup at The Gate from 9:00 until 4:00. If you are not familiar with The Gate, it is located at 225 N Monroe, Lebanon. Here is a link to a map to the building. Link. The Gate is the home of the FBC O'Fallon College and Career Department sponsored McKendree Baptist Collegiate Ministry, and it is also a great place for the College and Career Department to hang out and hold events. We do a lot of activities at The Gate, and everything that we do there includes an open invitation for anyone to attend. You don't have to be in college, or a student at McKen! dree, or in the College and Career Department at FBC O'Fallon; All are welcome! We have wrapped up the school year ministry program at The Gate, and will be starting up our McKendree ministry at The Gate again the last week of August. In the meanwhile, we have some paint to scrape off the windows, some wallpaper to take down, some areas to paint, some landscaping to do, and a few other things. If we can get enough people to show up we can knock it all out in a couple of hours. I'll even provide lunch and something to drink. We can use each and every one of your help. Steve Kim, who is a visitor to our church has volunteered 25 Airmen from Scott Air Force Base to help us out as a service project, so let's see if we can get more collegiates to come than airmen! It should be a super time of fellowship and knowing that you are accomplishing something worthwhile is very satisfying.
