The Brier Creek Fellowship Honey-Do Team

The backstory:

That's not Noah with the L-square. It's Nathan.

For the last several months, Nathan and I have been meeting for several hours every Friday afternoon & evening to brainstorm and build stuff for Brier Creek Fellowship.  Since we’re a mobile church, we’ve built AV carts and a pipe & drape cart, and outfitted our trailer to handle it all. 

Jamarcus, Ken, Mark and Amanda have all helped out at different points.  Collectively, we’ve labored for hundreds of hours in order to save valuable Sunday morning setup and breakdown time.

The time we’ve spent together has been awesome.  We work hard but not fast, and we always break for dinner, dessert and good conversation.

Starting this Friday, we are making it official.  Our venerable group is now called the Brier Creek Fellowship Honey-Do Team. 

 

Our mission:

• To build and rebuilt things our church needs
• To do odd jobs for the seniors and single women of the church
• To be a fun place for men to fellowship together

       Some guidelines:

• We are going to be really selective about our projects so we don’t get burned out.  We’re not looking to do a lot of work for friends-of-friends. 
• We are not precision carpenters.  We do “good enough” stuff.  We can paint, move furniture, lay tile and build shelves, and we can do complicated things, but don’t expect perfection.  Our workmanship fits our price:  free.  Remember, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
• The Bible says, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.”  But if you come out for Honey-Do night and just stand around jawing, we’ll still let you eat.
• Wives & kids can fellowship with my family while we cavemen do our thing.  If a member of the gentler sex wants to join in, we won't complain, provided they still let us grunt and burp.

Requirements to join:

•  An absence of whatever internal malfunction causes perfectionism.

Location & Time: 

We will meet at 710 Obsidian Way, Durham, NC 27703.  If we are going onsite somewhere, we will let everyone know in the newsletter for that week.  Nathan and I start at 3 p.m. every Friday.  Join us whenever you get out of work.  We break for dinner & dessert around 6, then work ‘til around sundown.  You're free to cut out early, or hang out later.
