When: On Saturday, October 2 we are going to have a time for LifeGroups to clean up and prepare their room for use. We will work in two primary shifts. First, from 8:00am-9:30am, people can clean-up their LifeGroup rooms and place bags of trash and other debris in the hallway. Second, from 9:30am-11:00am we will have people that carry the debris and trash to a roll off dumpster outside the east entrance.

Why: Over the years things tend to pile up and get a little bit dingy. Because we faithfully attend our LifeGroups we don’t notice the pile of curriculum from 1999 in the corner or the faded posters on the wall. The piles and mess can communicate many things to new people that are not true. Because we think we should take care of the resources that God has given us and because we don’t want to create unnecessary stumbling blocks for people, we decided it was time to clean up.

How: This will be a three phase process that can begin now:

• Phase 1: Prep Work-

  • Many of us have changed meeting rooms in the past month. There may be things that you left behind in your former room. Please go to that room by Sunday, September 26 and retrieve any decorations or items you would like to keep. Additionally, if there is furniture your group has purchased, and you would like be moved to your meeting room please mark it with a sticky note your group name and your new room number.

  • If you need access to your room other than Sunday mornings between 8:00am and noon please contact Juli at juli.harman@firstmoore.com or 405-793-2620.

  • By Sunday, October 3 all of our adult LifeGroups should be in a room that we will work for them for the foreseeable future. Use the attached October 3 room list as you begin thinking about the room you will clean up and refresh.

  • Select a small group of volunteers that will be responsible for the vision for the decorating of your LifeGroup room. As you prepare to give your room a refresh, please keep in mind:

    • Less is more.

    • Your room is a shared space.

    • Neutral décor is best.

    • Your room is for discipleship, not storage.

  • Gather volunteers to come be a part of the clean-up day on October 2.

• Phase 2: Clean-up Day- Join us for clean-up day and prepare your room to be a great a place to connect people to God and community.

• Phase 3: Routine Maintenance- Once the job is done, the work has just begun. Take time each month to make sure your room is clean and ready to minister to the people you have and the people God will bring in the future.
