Job Opportunity
St. Olaf Lutheran is looking for a caretaker starting September 1. There are copies of the expectations at the back of the church.

We do have an interested individual, but if you are interested, please let us know.
Council has reduced the caretaking from daily to weekly. The Caretaker will no longer be expected or required to clean and secure the building daily. Our members will have to take on some additional responsibility for securing the building and removing garbage or minor housekeeping after large events. We can all work together to keep our building in great shape!
