Is the Manhattan congregation too good to clean their own church so they have to contract it out?
I won’t mention the name of the church to avoid the usual clap trap of drive by mean remarks. However one large church changed their policy world wide and started having members of the church volunteer. Since three different congregations use the church building, it didn’t require members to volunteer more than once a year. The church asked that the members do it as a family service project and two families dust,vacuum,and clean the bathrooms each week.
The families found that it was a fun family time and looked forward to socializing with other families while they cleaned.
The church stays cleaner now that members are taking care of it and realize how hard of a job it is when it isn’t picked up each day.
