Cleaning Team

Cleaning the church building supports the various ministries that take place in the building and exercises good stewardship of the building. Parishioners are scheduled in pairs to clean; if interested, contact the Cleaning Team Coordinator.

Storage of Cleaning Supplies

The Church building is not like your home where you know who will be in your home.  The Church building has many different users including children and we must ensure that they are safe.

Consider whether the cleaning products are necessary and dispose of them if they are not. Those that are necessary are to be stored in the locked cupboard in the kitchen, the key is hanging on the wall.
