	Lawn Mowing We’re all ready for the snow to surpass and the warm temperatures to set in! Enjoy the fresh air and the satisfaction of a freshly cut lawn while serving our church family by joining our mowing team! Interior Lawn (Push Mowers/Trimmers): We are in need of additional individuals to mow the interior section of the church lawn. Starting in mid April through October, we have teams of 2 mow on Friday or Saturday so the lawn looks nice for worship on Sunday. This task takes about an hour and a half and teams would only mow 3-4 times during the year. Contact Dick Norenberg (402-721-0615) if you’re interested. Exterior Lawn (Zero-Turn Mowers): Do you know how to operate a zero-turn mower or want to learn how? We need volunteers willing & able to operate zero-turn mowers to mow the outer field areas of the church each week. This job takes 1 person approx. 7 hours or 2 people approx. 4 hours. If you have questions, please contact Dave Poppe (402-619-7141). Click “Sign Up Now” to sign up for Zero-Turn Mowing dates. All lawn care equipment is provided! Lawn care is usually completed on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday so the church looks nice on Sundays. In addition to mowing, we also need volunteers to help edge and assist with landscape clean up as needed. If you are interested in keeping this corner of God’s creation beautiful, please call the church office.
