Trustee News
Last month, a brand-new Vulcan commercial kitchen range was delivered at Zion, replacing the 57-year old unit that was installed when the church was first built, and for which repair parts were no longer available.
In the pre-dawn darkness on October 2 (see photos above), four very strong and capable employees of Hobart Appliance Service removed the old 1,000-pound range and installed the new unit, navigating a difficult path down the outside stairs, into the lower hallway, through four heavy steel doorways that had to be removed to provide clearance, and into the kitchen. It was an impressive feat of strength and mobility without a single scratch or dent to any part of the stove or church! Our Head Trustee, Mike Debowski, was there along with them, coordinating the delivery. In fact, Mike spent many hours prior to the delivery meeting with commercial range suppliers, researching various models for purchase, and finally prepping for delivery of the oversized item (including removal of interior and exterior doors, and taking precise measurements to determine the best delivery path).
The new range has a built-in griddle that will come in handy for cooking pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and bacon! Is a future church pancake breakfast in the offing? Stay tuned!
The next time you see one of our Trustees -- Mike, Paul Hayes, Jim Oelschlager, Ben Meyer, Deborah Sterba, and Linda Kroeger -- let them know you appreciate what they do to keep our church, school, and parsonage in good shape! The Trustees are always looking for new members to support the work of managing and maintaining all church property. As the saying goes, “many hands make light work”, and we can always use some extra hands. God bless!
