terms. Trustees take a leadership role in establishing, promoting, monitoring, and achieving the vision,

mission, and goals of the congregation.  The Board is the ultimate steward of both our long-range vision and financial affairs.   The Board meets monthly Board and some board members (voluntarily) take on  responsibilities outside these meetings.

The chair of the Service Auction Committee works with a vibrant team of other volunteers to coordinate the annual Service Auction.  This involves soliciting and publicizing donations and planning the auction event itself.  This year the board of trustees is imaging the auction as a simple social event (drinks, appetizers, either after church or on a separate evening) combined with the live auction that may or may not have virtual elements. 

Skills needed:  ability to project manage, and team build.
