IMPORTANT
When you leave the church building (after normal hours)
If you see other church 'people' around, don't assume they are certified to close up.
You have to ask them to verify and EVEN if they are certified,
make sure you remind them that "THEY ARE IT"
And ask them to take responsibility for closing up.
If they are not certified - they have to leave the building before you!
More than once, our church building had been completely unoccupied and with doors WIDE OPENED. Please do our best to be a good steward to ensure the safety of the church's property.
