Be Part of the Wade Hall Set & Reset Crew!


Aug 30 – Oct 19 — Worship in Wade Hall

Just as timelines for projects shift and we offer each other grace, we’ve made an update to our original plan. Instead of setting up early Sunday mornings, we’ve moved the Setup Crew to Saturdays at noon. We found this makes things easier for everyone—less of a commitment, more flexibility, and a better way to respect your time while still preparing a welcoming space for worship.

  • Setup Crew (Saturdays, 12:00 PM) – Clear tables, set chairs for worship
  • Reset Crew (Sundays, 12:15 PM) – Return tables, reset for weekday ministries
  • Exception: Sunday, August 31 (Labor Day weekend) Reset meets at 11:15 AM

This isn’t just moving furniture; it’s preparing a place for God’s people to gather, worship, and grow. Everyone is welcome! Bring a smile, bring a friend, and let’s do this together.
