Church Work Day in Bradford, PA: Help Us Build Our New Sanctuary

There’s something different about a space when you’ve had a hand in building it.

This Saturday, March 28 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Open Arms Community Church in Bradford, PA is hosting a church work day to prepare our upstairs sanctuary—and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This isn’t just about getting things done. It’s about preparing a place where people will meet Jesus, find healing, and experience real community.

We’re Getting the Space Ready for What’s Next

Right now, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes as we get ready to move upstairs.

We’re not just moving furniture—we’re building out spaces that will serve people every single week.

Some of the work happening includes:

• Setting up lighting, cameras, and livestream equipment in the sanctuary
• Preparing the stage and worship space
• Installing coffee systems and setting up the coffee area
• Mounting TVs and getting tech ready for services
• Cleaning carpets, pews, windows, and surfaces throughout the building
• Fixing doors, thresholds, and other practical needs
• Setting up children’s ministry spaces and equipment
• General cleaning, organizing, and prepping rooms across the building

Some projects are already in progress. Others will get started this Saturday. All of them move us closer to being ready.

You Don’t Have to Be “Handy” to Help

There’s a place for you, no matter your skill level.

Some jobs require tools and experience. Others just require a willingness to show up and serve.

We’ll have everything from:

• Simple cleaning and organizing
• Moving furniture
• Helping set up rooms
• Assisting with projects alongside others

If you can sweep, carry, wipe, or hold something steady—you’re qualified.

This Is More Than a Work Day

This is one of those moments where the church looks like the church.

Not just a service you attend—but a people who build, serve, and show up for each other.

There’s something meaningful about working side by side. Conversations happen. Friendships grow. And there’s a shared sense of purpose that you just don’t get any other way.

And one day soon, people will walk into that upstairs sanctuary…

They won’t see the work that went into it—but they’ll feel it.

Come for an Hour or Stay All Day

We know Saturdays are full.

Come for an hour if that’s what you can do. Stay all day if you’re able.

Every bit helps. Every person matters.
