Memorials
Committee
Each week, there is a notation in the Sunday service
bulletin regarding the Memorial Book which is displayed in the narthex.
Over the years, memorial gifts have been given to our church in memory
of loved ones. Each week the Memorial Book is open to pages listing
gifts given and the donors. If you would like to make a memorial
gift, please contact our church's Memorial
Committee through the church office.
Church Council
meets every second Tuesday, except
during the summer. Each chairperson or representative of the various
committees of our church, including the minister. The
Council considers issues that are brought forward for discussion from the
various committees to fulfill the goals of the Church. . Notes
of each meeting are made available to members and any constituents who would
like them. The council also votes on and may approve issues brought before
it. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the supervision and care of all physical property of the church, including the parsonage. Some of the activities which the Board administers include maintenance, repairs, replacements, rental of Church facilities, and review of liability and casualty insurance. As directed by the Charge Conference, the Board also may receive and administer grants, gifts, or bequests to be used for the benefit of the local church. The Board of Trustees regularly meets on the first Monday of the month except during the summer months. Its membership is divided into three classes with each trustee having a three year term. Having identified areas of needed repair and maintenance, the Board of Trustees organizes "work days" throughout the year to enlist volunteers to help with labor, thus defraying overall cost. Many tasks related to the on-going upkeep of church property are performed by dedicated friends and members of the church during these sessions as well as when an immediate need arises. The Church family is very appreciative of those who volunteer their time and skills for the care of Church facilities. Meetings are the first Mondays of each month.
