For more information, call 804-559-8824.On May 18th, scouts and scout leaders are invited to help with the firewood ministry by splitting and stacking firewood.  The firewood will be seasoned and made ready to provide heat during the cold months of the year.  Scouts BSA scouts can split wood by hand, run log splitters, and stack wood.  Cub scouts can help with moving wood in wagons and stacking wood.  If cub scouts sign up, they will need an adult partner with them to help.  Gloves, hearing protection, and eye protection are provided and required.  You are free to bring your own as well.  Please arrive in work clothes and closed toed shoes.  A refillable water bottle would be a great thing to have.  Adult and youth liability release forms are required.  The Hanover Christian Firewood Ministry is located at Lebanon Methodist Church, 8492 Peaks Road Hanover, VA 23069.
