Property

 

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 the 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 it is anticipated that new carpeting will soon be installed in
the Narthex and office area and hallways shortly. 

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, since the 2009 property budget had to be reduced.
