Administration Ministry
PURPOSE:
The Administration Commission is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day activities required for our church to operate successfully. 'Whatever your task, put yourself into it as done for the Lord...' Colossians 3:23
BUILDINGS & GROUNDS:
Cacti and commodes need love, too! An exciting ministry of building and grounds care offers those tool-people and green-thumbs the opportunity to help provide tender loving care to our campus while showing off their handiwork! Skills needed are: Plumbing, carpentry, landscaping, electrical work, sound systems knowledge, painting or any physical helping skills.
FINANCE COMMITTEE:
The finances of St. Anthony on the Desert are overseen by the Treasurer and the Finance Committee, who report directly to the Vestry. It is the responsibility of the Finance Committee to monitor the budget and cash flow, to review situations that cause financial concerns, and to present appropriate financial information to the Vestry so that they are aware of the present and projected financial conditions, so as to make informed financial decisions.
MEMORIAL GARDEN:
The Memorial Garden is in the courtyard. We have niches for cremain burials and a scattering garden. We also have a memorial wall on which plaques can be placed in memory of our loved ones. The niches are $700 for a single niche, and $1,000 for a double (companion) niche. This price includes the urn and the engraved marble nameplate. The scattering garden is $50. A plaque on the memorial wall is $200.
OFFICE ANGELS / ASSISTANTS:
Come be an Office Angel! Volunteers in the office are involved in a variety of activities that support the ministries of the church. We are often the first contact a person new to the city has with St. Anthony so being a friendly, outgoing, and caring person is extremely important. Volunteers assist office staff in preparing for worship by folding and collating service bulletins, inserting special announcements, preparing the Desert Wind for mailing, making name tags and by helping out wherever they are needed. Office Angels also cover the front desk and answer phones on an as-needed basis in the absence of the Parish Administrator. This is truly a ministry of hospitality and administration in its own right!
OFFICE AND GROUNDS HOUSEKEEPING:
Deep cleaning in the offices, kitchen and Parish Hall – dusting, organizing shelves and cupboards, cleaning refrigerators.
VIRTUAL COMMUNICATIONS TEAM:
This team of dedicated computer aficionados support and maintain the office computer network and PC's in addition to designing and maintaining the St. Anthony website.
