usage, permits, rules and regulations, scheduling, funerals, weddings, equipment
and fees. The facilities are available for church activities, funerals, weddings
and rentals. All groups wishing to use any area of the buildings and grounds must
reserve the space in advance - application must be made through the Church Office.
