GENERAL INFORMATION
a.
In most cases, the full hall rental fee is charged to the renter, with the
option offered to not-for-profit groups to apply to the Committee of Stewards
for a donation of some or the entire rental fee.
b.
It is the renter’s responsibility for the setup and take down of tables and
chairs and general cleanup. It is the church’s responsibility for normal
caretaking.
c.
If there is no previous booking, there will be no charge for day before or
early set-up for your event.
d.
There is no charge for activities performed, sponsored by or associated with
Trinity United Church. Participants in
these activities are encouraged to make a small voluntary donation to help
offset the cost of heating and maintenance.
e.
To comply with government legislation, we must charge the same fee for church
members and non-members. Members can apply to the Committee of Stewards,
however, for a donation to cover the fee for birthdays, anniversaries, etc
f.
The use of the Fellowship Hall may be subject to the approval of The Committee
of Stewards and thus, if possible, rentals should be requested at least 30 days

liability insurance policy. The congregation requests that the user add the
congregation as an additional insured in the user’s liability policy,
