The Property Committee maintains
and repairs the
Church physical
plant and grounds as
efficiently as
possible and reports
potential future
needs to the Session
for consideration.
In addition to the routine
maintenance there
are often unexpected
problems that occur
such as leaking
frozen pipes; or
walls that have to
be repainted when
paint chips off; or
stone walls damaged
by the GDS truck; or
cutting down dead
trees or limbs; or
repairing church
pews. These and
many other
unexpected problems
must be dealt with
as quickly as
possible.
In the past year with money raised
in the Dare-to-Dream
Centennial Campaign
a new roof was
installed on the
Fellowship Hall and
Office area; the
decaying front
cross-tie wall was
replaced with a
stone wall; a
Centennial plaque
was installed on the
tower; and a new
electronic Carillon
was installed in the
Bell Tower. With
money still left
from the
Dare-to-Dream
campaign and other
memorial gifts, new
carpeting has now
been installed in
the
Narthex and office
area.
It is hoped that volunteers from
the congregation
will step forward
this year to help
repair routine
items, perform
building
maintenance, and
assist in the upkeep
of the grounds.
A list for
volunteers to sign
up for various
chores will be
available soon in
the Narthex.
Co-chairs of the
Property Committee
for 2010 are Steve
Roberts and Anne
Cooper.
