Spring Clean - Up Day
March 31, 2012
PROPERTY
Church property is looking for a member of Faith to
step up and take on the role of Property Committee Chair. This is rewarding
position with Faith Lutheran Church. There are many talented people at Faith
willing to help build, repair and maintain our church. These members of the
congregation only need a little direction in prioritizing the work to be done
and keep an eye on the annual budget. With the help of the church treasurer and
the monthly reports this is an easy task. Your primary responsibility will be to
contact and coordinate members of our congregation to make repairs and see
firsthand the rewards of your effort.
A list of repairs that are
needing attention include replacing damaged ceiling tiles, now that the roof
leaks have been repaired. Install and repair the insulation in the sacristy to
help reduce our energy cost. Install new light bulbs in the church parking lot.
Contact the general or subcontractor who built the church to obtain an estimate
of repair to fix the round skylight windows in the sanctuary. This list is an
ever changing list of tasks as many repairs have been made other things develop
their importance and are added to the list.
A number of members at Faith
have served as property chair and have the corporate knowledge to assist the new
chair in that assignment.
Please prayerfully consider the position.
Put
this March 31, 2012 on your calendar. Christmas was a great celebration which
means we can look forward to Easter. As a tradition FLC conducts a spring
cleanup prior to our Easter celebration. If you can operate a rack, shovel or
have two hands we Church Property can use your help. We will be cleaning the
inside and outside of the church, cleaning windows, spreading bark, vacuuming
the church pews and picking up leaves. Be there for a fun day of socializing.
If you would like to know more about church property,
have a suggestion or see the need for a repair please contact me, Alan Ferguson,
formerly the Property Chair and now Council President.
PROPERTY COMMITTEE’S PURPOSE
The purpose of the property committee is to maintain
the physical resources of the church to include the structure, furnishings and
land. The committee reviews and obtains bids for contracts to include cleaning
and lawn care. The committee is responsible for the physical security of the
building to insure the door locks work properly, the fire alarm system is tested
and that the insurance is appropriate for replacing part or all of the structure
and furnishing if destroyed. The committee perfects repairs within the abilities
of the congregation and contracts with vendors to perfect repairs requiring
special tools, equipment or skill.
Look for an email requesting assistance in making these repairs. If you would like to know more about church property, have a suggestion or see the need for a repair please contact me, Alan Ferguson, property chair.
