TRUSTEES
The
Trustees of the Federated Church of Norfolk are elected at the church’s Annual
Meeting. Each member serves a three-year term. The terms are staggered so that
one third of the board is new each year. The members of this board are
responsible for the care and maintenance of Church property including the
parsonage. The Trustees also manage the rental of church property to outside
groups for meetings and events and they appoint the sexton and church
historian.
Thanks to all who have
helped us out and those of you who will continue to help. We are very grateful for all the support
If
you have any concerns or requests, please contact the chairman Jim Teague
NOVEMBER
UPDATE
The Trustees have scheduled a fall clean up day for Saturday, November
1, 2008. The rain date will be November 8th. The fun begins at 9:00 AM. Please help out with the fall clean up.
All helpers should bring garden tools to work with and gloves. Everyone is
welcome. There are plenty of chores for young and old.
A
reminder to all Trustees, that we will be meeting in the Youth Room on the
second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm.
School is back in session and with that comes a
challenging situation in the church parking lot. During the school week I would like to remind people to PLEASE USE PARKING SPACES. Do not park
up against the building even if you are running in for a few minutes to drop
something off. With so many vehicles in
and out and small bodies walking around we just like to keep everyone
safe. Thank you.

Tis the time of year for
the weather to get chilly, and the need for heat in the church for meetings and
functions. A friendly reminder, to all,
if you turn the heat on for an evening meeting please remember to turn the heat
down to 58 when you leave. Thank you.
ONGOING
PROJECTS
Below, are areas the
trustees feel that work should be done to better accommodate our congregation
and enhance the appeal of our church. The contractor that was with us at
last month’s meeting said that our church was a landmark for the town of
Norfolk. In order to attract more people to the church there are a number
of areas that need to have work done. We especially need to accommodate
people with varied abilities. If the church is to maintain a status as a
landmark then we will need to pursue these improvements as well as
others that are not yet listed. Our desire is to make the congregation
aware of these areas that need to be addressed.
Yours in Service to
the Lord,
The Board of

Our church is a historic
building in Norfolk (that means it is old!).
There is always work to do. If you have the time and the interest
please volunteer.
If
anyone is interested in doing or helping with any of these projects please
contact a trustee so we can work out the details. There should be job sheets at
the trustees bulletin board or just write on a blank sheet of paper what you
are willing to do and a date and time so if others can help they can check the
web site to see who is working on what jobs.
