Employee Use of Laundry Equipment

Maintenance script — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 13:44:53 GMT

Add employee laundry equipment policy provided by site owner

New page

Sprouts laundry machines are provided for organizational and program-related use. Employees may not bring personal clothing, bedding, or other items from home to wash or dry using Sprouts laundry equipment.

This prohibition applies regardless of whether an employee provides their own detergent, laundry supplies, or other materials. The policy is intended to limit personal use and unnecessary wear and tear on organizational equipment and utilities.

Personal clothing or belongings that become soiled or contaminated as a result of an incident occurring while at work may be washed when reasonably necessary.

Other exceptions may be authorized by the Sprouts Director.

Failure to follow this policy or a related management directive may result in corrective action.

After scheduling a date, make a Planning Center event registration page. Search the archive for a previous one and duplicate it and change the dates to the one scheduled.

A water baptism is a wonderful celebration in a Christian's journey of faith! We believe that every believer is called to be baptized at some point in their life.

We celebrate each baptism with the candidate '''fully submerged in water''', so make sure you bring a '''change of clothes''' and a '''towel'''.

We will ask each candidate a few questions, and you are encouraged to come with a prepared answer to the question '''"Why did you decide to be baptized?"'''

At the end, at least one Pastor and the Baptismal team will pray over you and the whole congregation will be given a chance to celebrate as well!

Below are a few more things to remember:

* Arrive by 10:00 am and sit in the front row of the Sanctuary to meet with a pastor.
* Bring an extra towel
* Bring a change of clothes (don't forget undergarments) Write your answer to the question "Why did you decide to be baptized?"
* Invite as many friends and family you want to celebrate with you!
</blockquote>

A TV screen should be updated and posted to the entryway TV as well as the Sunday Announcement folder. Send a message to the slack channel to let someone know a new slide has been added.

Here is the evergreen letter to give the baptism candidates to remind them to arrive early, bring a change of clothes and a towel.

Here is the certificate for baptism. It is a fillable PDF.

there is an evergreen letter that I wrote for stephanie to send out and give away and im not sure if that happened. the letter commuinicates that baptism candidates are supposed to arrive early, bring clothes, etc. this way we can go over the baptism stuff andpeople know whats going on.

it shouold include links to google drive items like certificates baptism letter copy to be able to copy and paste for planning center etc.
