Property Ministry

Thanks to Terry Otto for cleaning up the leaves around the church property, looks great.

Hopefully by the time this report reaches you the roofing project will be underway. When that project gets underway, the sofits on the west side of the church will be replaced as well with materials provided by Steve Westward.

Another project that will begin soon is new lights and suspended ceiling in the Fellowship Hall. Bob Nelson will be working on that project. Because he will have his scaffolds on site, we hope to tackle replacement of light bulbs in the sanctuary.

The east entrance sign wording contest is still pending. Hopefully, a decision will be made at our January meeting. We have several good suggestions to look at and pass on to council.

The wish list that is attached has produced results as it lets members see the needs and how they can help. If you can’t fund an entire need, any amount can be donated or pledged and held in our account until the full amount is reached. Our priority now is to replace the divider curtain between the fellowship hall and the sport court.
