Stewardship in action

On Thursday night our Property Committee met and planned a number of small projects they wanted to tackle this weekend. Many of the issues involved plumbing. We have had water issues at church over the last year and a half and some of them can be addressed fairly easily.

The faucets in the kitchen are loose and they don't always stay off when you shut them off. I have come in on many-a- Monday to find the water dribbling out. The same is true of the urinal in the Men's room. As a matter of fact we had a problem the other day. The toilet upstairs wouldn't flush and the sink didn't have any pressure. Don Walberg, our custodian, knew what the problem was right away. He headed down stairs to check on the Men's room. He told me it's happened before.

The guys decided to meet on Saturday to tackle these problems. They also made it a point to reinstall the wayside pulpit out front. Tag Griffin restored the sign board and gave it a new look. They'll put it up on Saturday and then get new letters for it. It will be cool to be able to announce upcoming programs and post interesting sermon titles.

The Trustees met after the Property Committee and they approved the proposed 2010 budget. It is a dream budget based upon our hopes at church .The final budget that gets sent to the Annual Meeting in January will be determined by the pledges and gifts we receive from now to the end of our stewardship campaign. So prayerfully consider how you can support the ministry of our church in 2010 when you get your pledge card next week! You can make our dreams come true.
