Communications

The mandate of the Communications Committee is to:

• share, within the congregation, information about the life of the church, using tools such as the Church Directory, website, Stories from the Orchard (pre-service slide-shows) and newsletters;
• support the work of OVUC’s committees and groups by assisting them with advertising for their fundraisers and events; and
• provide monthly reports to Council, an annual budget to the Finance Committee and a report for the OVUC Annual Report.
