POLICY FOR USE OF THE FACILITIES

BY MEMBERS OF VINJE LUTHERAN CHURCH

(contributions may be requested to cover extra costs)

 The use of the facilities of the Vinje Lutheran Church shall be under the jurisdiction of the Executive Committee of the Church Council and the supervision of the Lead Pastor.

Priority will be give to congregational events - such as worship services, meetings and activities of the congregation and its auxiliaries. No charges will be made, or contributions requested, for such use.

No charges will be made, or contributions requested, for use by the "extra-congregational" church - (conference, synod, intersynodial agencies and groups, ecumenical groups, etc.) - or use by non-profit public service groups whose objectives are deemed by the program staff to be complementary to those of the congregation and who have no access to funds for this purpose.

Contributions will be requested, according to the schedule below, to cover cost of more "private" use by members - such as weddings, showers, some birthday and anniversary celebrations, etc., and of use by non-profit public service groups which are funded for such purposes and whose objectives and activities are deemed by the program staff to be complementary to those of the congregation.

No contributions will be expected for funerals or for celebrations of members' anniversaries of marriages of 40 years or more or birthdays of members, or persons of members' immediate families, 80 years of older.
