The Property Committee is charged with maintaining the church structure and grounds to accomplish the mission of the larger church, to spread the good news of the gospel. Our committee generally met during the first week of every month to discuss all things property related with a goal to ensure the church is kept in excellent working order. These are the talented property committee members who willingly volunteer their time and knowledge: Don Acker, Mike Kammerdiener, Bill Signorelli, Tim Rutledge, Jim Raabe, Sidney Conner, Roy Reichenbach and Paul Slezak. Bill Signorelli has done a great job as the chairman of the property committee and spearheading our workdays. After the kitchen remodel of 2023, the property committee experienced a more quiet year with no major projects. However, there were a number of smaller projects that filled the year with activities. The outside grounds were maintained through mowing, fire ant treatment, wasp treatment and several property clean up days. Thanks to all who participated. The shrubs along the Sunday School wing were trimmed several times. There were several repairs to the church air conditioning units and the committee changed out all the filters. There were several plumbing repairs including toilets and a plugged sewer line. Lights in the Sunday School rooms and in the restrooms were repaired with new ballasts and bulbs. A new coffee maker was purchased and installed. The refrigerator was repaired with a new compressor. The ice maker in the kitchen pantry was repaired twice. The fluorescent bulbs in the light fixtures in the Family Life Center were replaced with LED bulbs. The pole lights in the south parking lot were re- lamped with LED bulbs. The hallways in the Sunday School wing were repainted. Several new flat screen monitors were installed by Jon Jorgenson. Two hoist mechanisms were installed in the Sanctuary for the “Tongues of Fire” seen during Pentecost. New shelves were installed in the music instrument storage closet. The floor next to the organ was reworked to allow the door into the organ to be opened without removing the adjacent flooring. The monument sign at the Baker Blvd entrance was reworked to add Pastor Kyle Symanski’s name and the area code for the church’s phone number. The flower bed at the Baker Blvd entrance was planted with sweet potato vines which were replaced with pansies after the first frost. There were numerous third-party inspections made during the year of the fire extinguishers, the fire sprinkler system, the exit signs, the hood over the gas range in the kitchen and the reduced pressure backflow preventer on the incoming water line. All the inspections passed with minimal corrective action. And finally, the Property Committee is open to all members of the congregation. Come join us and enjoy the fellowship.
