Committees:

Finance Team

The Wardens and the Treasurer bear the primary responsibility of tracking finances and budgeting. Valuable roles are also played by the Counters, a small but dedicated team that meets to count the weekly offering; and the Envelope Secretary, who records the offerings of each envelope holder and issues statements and tax receipts.

Property Committee

This group performs important maintenance on the Church property. This work includes repairs, cleaning, maintaining equipment and gardening. The Property Committee also works on larger projects and renovations, under the direction of the Incumbent and wardens. Teams of parishioners normally form work parties as they are needed, such as in the spring to clean the grounds or in the summer, to maintain the gardens.
