Special Events & Fundraising:

- organize an Election Night Turkey Dinner in November each year by appointing a coordinator and assist that person in leading the Congregation in enthusiastic participation!
Maintenance of Grounds and Building:
- provide for the needs of the building through maintenance and capitol improvements as resources allow.
- lead the Congregation in care of the building by sponsoring "Clean Up" days twice yearly. We try to encourage members and friends to donate their time and talents to the care of the building to reduce costs for maintenance and improvements.
Stewardship:
- our Committee is responsible for educating ourselves and others about Stewardship, a biblical concept that teaches us that all things belong to God and that we manage God's resources for God's purposes, not simply our own. Stewardship encourages us to use gifts, talents, and treasures wisely for promoting the values and mandates of the Gospel, one of which is to share what we have for the well being of everyone, everywhere, to the glory of God.
- we have been directed by the Long Range Plan of our Congregation, to increase participation in stewardship among members, defined as the giving of time, talent, and treasures to the glory of God, for our mission in the world and for the common good of the people of God.
- plan and organize a yearly Stewardship Pledge Drive that enables each family or individual in the Church to consider planned giving for the coming year. We pledge our support for our common ministry and then we work to fulfill our pledge. We are constantly encouraging one another to move toward the biblical standard of the Tithe (10%) as our goal.
