Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.
Doctrine and Covenants 88:119
Ward members have the responsibility to keep our meetinghouse clean and secure at all times.
On an ongoing basis, this means cleaning up after ourselves, putting chairs and other items away after each meeting, locking all doors in the building when not in use, and so on.
It also means that on a regular basis we are assigned to clean the building more thoroughly, including vacuuming, cleaning restrooms, and making sure all areas of our meetinghouse are in order, reverent, and welcoming to ward members, visitors, and the Spirit.
We alternate these cleaning assignments on a monthly basis with the Jamaica 2nd Ward, which shares our building.
