OPELSKE

During the Fall, our Opelske team works diligently to keep the leaves from piling up at Wayfarers Chapel. Volunteer crews of 2-3 people come each week, on Saturdays, to clear off the sidewalks and decks. They also work throughout the rest of the year maintaining the plants around the chapel. We are very grateful for this group's dedication and service. If you are interested in helping, please sign up with Joyce Oliver (828.200.9160) or Sandy Thomas (407.786.4364).
