Reminders for Using the Church Facilities
For members who have access to church property after hours...please notify the church office when you plan to use church facilities.
For liability purposes, we need documentation.
There may be times that the gym or fellowship hall has a private rental which would not reflect on the church calendar.
Be conscious in the utility costs to church (which make up the bulk of our operating expenses): turn off lights, make sure no toilets are running and return thermostat to original settings.
All trash should be taken to dumpster (until we hire a custodian).
Make sure the property is secure when leaving (the rear entry door to the Ed building was left unlocked last week).
Appreciate your cooperation.
Contact Karen in office if you have any questions.
