― John Wesley
Preventive Maintenance
​
The Trustee Team is in need of Volunteers to help with some maintenance items at church. Having volunteers will limit the amount of contractors that we will have to hire for their services. The following are areas we need help:
​
Landscaping - Trim boxwood bushes and bushes behind church by the a/c units & other landscaping needs.
​
Ongoing Maintenance - Replace Burned out Light Bulbs, change HVAC filter on regular basis
​
Exterior Building Repairs- ​​Replace 2 coach lights beside the glass sanctuary doors. Replace the trim work on the peak of the lower gable on the Sunday school side of building.
​
If you can help with any of these projects email Gary Pinson - gdpinson@gmail.com
