Message from the Building and Grounds Committees Chair Paul Leiss
Posted 10/11/222
Hello everyone.
You may have noticed some improvements being done to the church building and the grounds. This is because there is now a Building Committee and a Grounds Committee that are working to support our church's Trustee Ministry.
We are endeavoring to make our church look better both inside and outside.
Along with these new committees, there are some new procedures for reporting and taking care of problems and improvements in the church's building and grounds.
We are now keeping a "Maintenance Log." Since September, all maintenance problems, whether they be with the building or grounds or any related items, are being recorded in a Maintenance Log. If you see something that needs to be fixed or think you would like to see something done to improve the church building or the grounds, simply write it in the Maintenance Log and we will do something with it. This Maintenance Log is situated in a notebook on the table to the right of the front door as you leave the church.
The entries in this Maintenance Log are pretty simple, they are the date you are writing up the problem, a description of what the problem is, and, optionally, who is entering the problem. This last entry is only so someone can contact you if it is unclear what you want or if for some reason, the problem cannot be fixed. In no more than 2 weeks, the problem will be addressed, although a full completion of the problem may take a little longer.
From there, a member of one of these committees will take ownership of the problem and work it. If the problem cannot be fixed by that person, they can either go to other committee members or contact the committee chair and recommend that someone outside the church be hired to fix the problem. The cost of fixing problems if approved will be paid for by the church, although, in many cases, the problems are solved without any cost to the church.
All in all, this is a very satisfying way for people to give back to the church. So, if you can use a rake, fix things, or can help in any other way, it is a great and satisfying way to give back to your church and our community.
If you are interested, please either call me at (540)850-0138,e-mail me at pleiss@aol.com, or sign up on the signup sheet in the church Gathering Room.
