Church Building-Trustees
STEVENSVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
TRUSTEE MINISTRY
2011
The 2011 Trustees are co-chaired by John McDowell and Larry Klett
What we do:
The Trustees are responsible for all of the property owned by the Stevensville United Methodist Church. This includes the church itself, the land surrounding the church including the pond, a parsonage for our pastor and a second home that has been used for a second pastor and is currently used for income. Everything from the roofs that cover our heads to the floors that we walk on is the responsibility of the Trustees. Last year, for example, the Trustees accomplishments ranged from resurfacing the parking lot and recoating the roof over Faith Hall to repainting a window in a window well that an animal had gnawed when trapped there until Animal Aide removed him. We also sponsor workdays where the members of our congregation may have the opportunity to participate in the cleaning and maintaining work.

Fix it Request:
The Trustees cannot always see everything that needs their attention in our church and a "Fix it Request" form is used. This form notifies the Trustees of areas that need attention - a burned out light bulb or a dripping faucet for example. The forms are normally available on the Trustee bulletin board. Here is a link to the FIX IT REQUEST form if one is not available. Place the form in the Trustee's mailbox or e-mail:
John McDowell johnmcd62@ or Larry Klett lrklett@aol.com conconcerning the problem.
Church Volunteers:
The scope of the Trustee work is large and many people have volunteered to help the Trustees through their 2010 Service Commitment form. Click on this link CHURCH VOLUNTEERS to see the list of those volunteers. If you would like to help, simply e-mail John McDowell johnmcd62@msn.com or Larry Klett 429-3698 lrklett@aol.com and we will gladly add you to the list.
The Trustees are in need of volunteers for shoveling sidewalks in the cold weather and mowing our church lawn in the warm weather. We have the snow blowers, shovels and riding tractors. We just need operators. Call Larry Klett 429 - 3698 or John McDowell 422 - 2717 if you can help. We will post the schedule of side walk shovelers and lawn mowers on the Trustee bulletin board.
Building Use and Fees:
Stevensville United Methodist church is used for many things in addition to Sunday worship. Because of increasing costs for maintenance, repair, cleaning etc. the Trustees have implemented a rental policy and fee schedule for building use. This schedule is available at the following Rental Policy and Fee Schedule link. The rentals are handled by the church office.
Wish List:
The Trustees also maintain a list of things that need attention (usually improvements) that are too large to be included in our regular budget. Often members of our congregation feel the need to help with some of these improvements. Click on the link WISH LIST to view these items.
