Noteworthy accomplishments for 2013 include the following:

- We continue to realize savings on heating costs resulting from boiler replacement and conversion from heating oil to natural gas in 2010. Our combined energy costs for gas and electric are lower than before completing the project, even considering the additional usage for air conditioning.
In 2014 we have the following major goals:
- Contract for repair and painting of the remaining areas not covered under the previous contract
- Install permanent fixtures for hanging items on walls to support VBS and other special events throughout the building
The Property Committee expresses its deep appreciation to Wayne Spangler for his many years of service to the committee. Please join me in thanking our Property Committee members for their past and continuing service.
In Christ,
Scott Seidel, Chair
