I am grateful to God for all of you! Thank you to all who helped make a huge dent in clearing out the Christian Education Building yesterday with donated cleaning supplies, labor, vehicles used to haul stuff to the waste disposal site, time, and prayers. The cleaning out items to reduce mold also highlighted the need to clean out what was packed in rooms for years. We will move forward with more cleaning and sanitizing the space so it can be used for ministry to God's glory! I Thank You for your help, particularly, Stanley, Faye, Gwin, Earl, Ellen, Jim M., Marian, Raymond Coleman (Food Pantry volunteer who brought his hauler), and Rev. Julia Ann Odom. May God continually bless Sunnyside PC and our service to God and community in Jesus' name!

Beloved in Christ, the Session is working to clean out and clear out the Christian Education Building due to mold. This is a health and safety concern that must be addressed before we can go back into the rooms and our Food Pantry and Clothes Closet ministries.
Wednesday, December 2, 2020, 10 AM, we need able and willing volunteers to help clean out the Clothes Closet, and other areas. We will have protective gear but volunteers can bring disposable gloves, hair covers, clothes and shoes coverings, and masks if they have them.
Through the generosity of A-1 Supplies, the buildings have had a sanitizing fogger spray to reduce allergens.
Even if you are unable to help move things, you can help with prayers, a building fund donation to the church earmarked for the Christian Education Building, and share with others who might be able to help next Wed. or donate to the cause.
Earl Ashley is our point of contact, as well as, Stanley Carter.
Thank you, Sunnyside! God Bless You!!!
Blessed Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones! Stay safe, be strong, keep the faith!
Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Sandy
