Stewardship organizes our annual budget and presents to the congregation an explanation of where our money comes from and where it goes. Worship plans the specifics of our worship services. Christian Education works with Vacation Bible School, Sunday School, Afterschool Program and adult education. Mission/Evangelism is responsible for representing the parish in activites related to helping people both in the world and in our community and reaching out to others with God's message of love and forgiveness in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ. Communications oversees the creation of newsletters, church directories, the website and other means of communicating between members and the community; also includes newspaper articles about our parish. Buildings and Grounds (Parish-wide) takes care of maintenance on the manse (where the Pastors live) and other maintenance projects that are the responsibility of the entire parish as opposed to individual churches. (Sometimes there is overlap because the church office is located in the Wabeno church and it is a parish office.) Personnel reviews and makes recommendations for the employees of the church. Flea-Zaar is the annual two-day-long flea market/bazaar that is a primary findraising activity of the parish. All of these committees are re-formed after the annual meeting, but you can join a committee at any time during the year by calling the church office and letting our administrative assistant know what your preference is. This is a wonderful way to get "plugged in" to your church and get acquainted with other members.
