Affiliations
I was building and grounds keeper for my church for several years. It entailed maintaining and repairs to the church and fellowship hall. I also hired for cleaning and grass mowing through contractual bids.
I also helped with meals for funerals and potlucks for the church. That was the setting up, sometimes serving , and the cleanup afterwards.
