Lead Pastor’s Report

“Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us give a joyous shout to the rock of our salvation! Let us come before him with thanksgiving. Let us sing him psalms of praise. For the LORD is a great God, the great King above all

gods.” Psalms 95:1-3

We have experienced the blessings of our God in 2015 and we are so thankful for His goodness and favour.

We started the year with the theme, “Who’s Your One”, as we looked to having an abbreviated Alpha after Easter. This turned out to be a good motivator to cultivate friendships with pre-Christians that we would beabletoinvitetocomeforthefiveweeknightsofAlpha.Wesawupwardto200peopleattendandwehave seen some be baptized in water who accepted Christ through this time of outreach. They are now faithful attenders in the church.

We had a revival meeting in May with Pastor Seth Fawcett from New Zealand and many lives where im-pacted by the presence of Holy Spirit.

The areas that I oversee are the Ruling Elders, the Board of Directors and the staff of the church. So a lot of my time is spent with the members of the Joint Leadership Team. More and more of my time is spent with leadership people who are more in touch with members of the congregation who minister on a volunteer basis.

Some of my time was given to working on the Policy Manual of the Ruling Elders along with a committee of men. This was accomplished and is being adopted and adapted by the Elders.The main work with the Board of Directors has been preparing for the Next Gen. Building Project to bring it to the stage of putting it out to tenders so we would know the actual cost of building it.Within the ranks of the Pastoral Team, there have been some challenging moments in 2015. Pastor Ernie & Barb Metz, who served in RAC for 26 years under Pastor Switzer and myself, felt to move to Calgary to beclosetofamily.Wehaveendeavoredtofillthosesize12shoesbutnoonecantrulytaketheplaceofsuch a seasoned ministry who had built long-term relationship with so many people. We appreciated the ministry of love that was exhibited by both Pastor Ernie and Sister Barb. We welcomed two part time people,JennDeanandJonFischer,tofillsomeoftheministriesthatPastorErniehadfosteredthroughthe years.

I am very thankful for the continuing ministry of our Manager of Administration, Cal Martin. He has over-seen all the Administrative Staff, which has released me from those areas so I can concentrate more of my time, thoughts, and prayers on visions and goals for our church body.

We have had some very effective Joint Leadership Meetings with the Elders, Board of Directors and Pastoral Staff. We have agreed to meet together more often so that the Vision, Goals and Dreams for RAC canbedefinedmoreclearly.

Visions & Goals for 20161. To “Mend the Nets” in our ministries so that the harvest of souls is retained and there will be a higher percentage of people who are moved from the Community, to the Crowd, to the Congregation, to the Committed & then be the Core.

P a g e | 23

Mark 1:19 “A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat mending their nets.”2. To see the Next Gen. Building come to fruition to provide more space to minister. Isaiah 54:2, 3“Enlargeyourhouse;buildanaddition;spreadoutyourhome!Foryouwillsoon be bursting at the seams…” 3. To see a stronger impartation and activation of the gifts of healing and faith as we have Pastor Randy Clark come to be with us in May of this year. Isaiah 58:8 “If you do these things, your salvation will come like the dawn. Yes, your healing will come quickly. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind.”4. ToseetheLord’sPrayerfulfilledwhenitsays,“ThyKingdomcome,ThywillbedoneonEarthasit is in Heaven”. Isaiah 6:3“…“Holy,holy,holyistheLORDofHosts;thewholeearthisfullofHisglory!” Habakkuk 2:14“Forthetimewillcomewhenalltheearthwillbefilled,asthewatersfillthesea, with an awareness of the glory of the LORD.”

I have a sense in my spirit that 2016 will be a demanding year but also a fantastic year as we are obedient tothecallofGodforReginaApostolicChurch!

C5 LIFE Groups

“The [believers] worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity - all the while praising God and enjoying

the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”

Acts 2:46-47 NLT

Assessing 2015Care and community are two essential components for ongoing spiritual and relational growth. We need others in our lives—friends and family who will challenge us and encourage us, push us further and help us pursue a greater passion for God. We are wired for relationship, so we need places where we can come together, connect with others, and care for one another. Deep down we long for it, even crave it. Churchoffersoneformofconnectionandcommunity;smallgroupsofferanother.

Since taking on the role of overseeing and leading the small groups ministry in our church in July, my visionhasgrownimmenselyforthisarea.Groupsaremuchmoretomethanaplaceforcommunity;theyare a method through which we can mutually experience the rich, meaningful LIFE God intends for us. Small groups offer something for everyone at different stages and ages of life, depending on situation, need, and desire. Groups can be a place to rally around a common interest or connect over a weekly study for a number of weeks in a row. Groups offer a place of community for those desiring to do life to-gether with a higher level of accountability to one another to those needing extra care support during a difficulttimeinlife.Groupsarealsoagreatplaceforjoiningwithotherswantingtomeetaneedormakea difference in our city by serving a cause for the sake of Christ.

With this in mind, what we’ve formerly known as “Community Groups” has now expanded to include a greatervisionanddirectionundertheumbrellaof“C5LIFEGroups.”C5simplyreferstofivecategoriesofsmallgroups;eachdesignedtobringanaspectoflifetothoselookingforlife—relationallyaswellasspiritually. Each group is a place to share life with others, care for one other, and pray with one another.

We have amazing leaders who are hosting and leading our C5 LIFE Small Groups. A special “thank you” to each of you for faithfully giving of your time weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly and for extending love and grace to those you meet with.

Anticipating 2016As we enter 2016, our goal is to increase the number of areas where our church guests and members can connect and receive personal care and support by continually adding more groups and diversity to our C5 LIFE Ministry. We are committed to developing leaders who are equipped and ready to host, facilitate, and lead a C5 LIFE Group at any level. A C5 LIFE Leader’s Training Manual is part of that commitment, as is our commitment to encourage and coach leaders already hosting, facilitating, and leading a C5 LIFE Small Group. We are also committed to increasing access to our list of small group resources, whether through purchase or through the Right Now Media resource library. Submitted by Pastor Llewellyn Janzen

First Impressions Ministry

“... Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.” And, “Love your neighbour as yourself.”

Luke 10:27 NLT

However, as June 30th approached, Pastor Ernie and Barb’spastoralministryatReginaApostolicChurchofficiallyendedafter26yearsoffaithfulministry.Atthat time my ministry position in the church transitioned from Family LIFE Pastor to that of Pastor of Con-nections and Development, where I was given the position and responsibility of overseeing, leading, and expanding what we now refer to as our First Impressions Team.

Since transitioning into this new role in July, I have worked diligently at assessing and restructuring our First Impressions Team as well as imparting fresh vision and direction into this vital church ministry.

Our First Impressions Team exists to provide FIRST CLASS care and service for every guest and member. FIRST CLASS is an acronym that spells out the core values shared by our team members, values that are presentedinaNEW!FITOrientationCoursethatprospectivevolunteerswhoareinterestedinjoiningour First Impressions Team must take before they begin to serve. This FIT Orientation Course has already helped a number of new people catch the importance and heartbeat of guest care that we are diligently seeking to provide in our church. The result is a revived group of volunteers and leaders, who faithfully love, greet, welcome, serve, and deeply care for every guest, attender, and church member who enters and exits the doors of our church week after week. A special “thank you” goes out to each one of you. YoumodeltheheartofJesuswithgraceandexcellence!

Anticipating 2016Entering 2016, our focus has been, and will continue to be, that of increasing a welcoming presence at our Saturday 7pm service as well as improving the consistency and quality of guest service that we want to provide at each of our three weekend services. This also includes additional church services, confer-ences, and workshops that our church will host throughout the year.

Alpha Report

The pastors felt in the spring of 2015 we would do a church-wide Alpha that was branded as “Who’s Your ‘One”. The advertising had started in February to plant the seed to get the congregation thinking and praying for who they were going to invite that was a pre-Christian, whether it was family and/or friends. Because of the magnitude of this outreach the course was shortened to 5 weeks. The response was amazing;wehadgreatfoodandfellowshipandtheopportunitytowelcomethosewhowereinvited.Approximately 200 came to be a part of the Alpha course. Roughly half of those were new people. Many gave their hearts to the Lord and others rededicated their lives. Several have been baptized, taken disci-pleship classes or just become part of our church family as a result.We are excited to see what God has for this year’s spring Alpha, Wednesdays April 20th – May 18th, 2016 @6:00pm.“Who’sYourOne”?

Discipleship Classes Report

It has been very encouraging to see our church body hungry after more discipleship and desiring to grow in their relationship with God. We are seeing a wide range of individuals participating in the class-es, from new Christians who have just started attending our church to those who have been in the faith for many years. We believe the discipleship classes are a platform that often generates an atmosphere of friendship, and networks people into serving in our church.

Currently we have classes running at the following times:

Class 101 – Sunday @ 9:40am, and Wednesday @ 6:30pmClass 201 – Sunday @ 9:40amClass 301 – Sunday @ 9:40amClass 301 – Wednesday @ 6:30pm

Master’s Commission Report

2015-2016: Enrollment has been very encouraging to see the students who have been stirred and prompted to step into the next level of their walk with the Father. Each of the students bring such a unique gifting to the classes and to each other. It’s a privilege to watch them grow throughout the year into that deeper place of knowing who they are in Christ. As relationships are being developed there becomes a greater sense of brothers and sisters coming along side one another to encourage each other into their giftings. Master’s Commission gives tools for the students to take away and apply in their ev-eryday life yet prompts them to enlarge their territories to the greater things God has for them.

As the Lord prompts, please pray for each of the students and teachers listed below:

This year there was a change to Next Gen Ministries. Pastor Llewellyn transitioned into overseeing con-nections and small groups, so family ministry became a part of Next Gen Ministries.The mission statement for Next Gen Ministries is “RAC Next Gen Ministries is committed to equipping parents to disciple at home and to minister together at church so that children and youth will come to know, love, worship, and serve Jesus Christ”. The Next Gen. Department is made up of a team consisting of myself as well as Emma Levey, focusing on early childhood, Candice Snyder, focusing on elementary and preteen and Nathan White focusing on youth. Yolanda Maat joined us, part time, to help with the facilitating of family ministries and adminis-tration. We are also privileged to have Melanie Dueck as our preschol teacher and Tanya Turgeon who serves as an assistant teacher part-time in our preschool. We also have an amazing team of volunteers that are invaluable in all of the departments, and are the backbone of Next Gen Ministries.

Next Gen Family Ministry (NEW) Our focus in family ministry is on equipping parents to disciple and to provide support to families. We recognize that parents are primarily responsible for the discipleship of their own children, and our desire is to support them as best as we can. Part of doing this is picking age level programs that also have at home discipleship components. This past year we have done two faith events focusing on dad’s connecting with their kids, spending some time deepening their own relationships, having fun, and talking about faith together. We also did one family outreach event, Family Fall Festival, which we will continue to do in order to reach out into the familiesofourcommunity.Wealsorecognizewhathasalreadybeenhappening;BreakawayforMoms,New2You Sale, and meals for new moms as great support for our families and we are excited to come alongside and support these ministries as needed.

NEXT GEN. CHILDREN’S MINISTRIESWeekend Ministries In order to properly and effectively minister to the kids we need 32 volunteers every weekend. We are so thankful for the faithful teachers and assistants in each of our classes, and those that monitor the hall-ways. God Bless you for ministering to our kids on the weekend services

Noah’s Ark Preschool We are so pleased to offer the ministry of a preschool here at our church where we partner with parents to teach Christian principles & values. The mission of our preschool is to create an environment where students feel safe, loved, and respected so that learning can take place naturally. If you have ever met Melanie you would have no doubt that this would be the environment. Some of the goals are to nurture a positive self-esteem, encourage positive verbal communication and to prepare students academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally for kindergarten. Please contact [email protected] if you have questions. Wednesday Evenings This is the third year of Awana on Wednesday evenings. There is different programs for all the ages: age 2-3 are Puggles, age 3-4 are Cubbies, K - gr. 2 are Sparkies, grades 3-4 are T&T, and grades 5-6 are called Linked56.

It is so much more than learning songs and dramas but it is a time when kids pray and reach out to their familiesandfriends,wheretheyaretheevangelists!

Next Gen Youth Ministry This past year we split our youth ministry into two groups, Junior Youth (gr. 7-9) and Senior Youth (gr. 9 -12). We included grade nine in both groups because some grade nine students are not comfortable moving up while others cannot wait to move into Senior Youth. We do ask our grade nine students to pick at the beginning of the year and stay with either Junior or Senior Youth for the year. On a couple occasions in the year we meet all together on Friday evening for what we call Fueled United. We did this because there is such a range of ages as well as stages of life that youth are going through and we felt that we will be more effective in teaching and ministering to all students if we met separately.

Junior Youth (Gr.7-9) Ithasbeenmovingtohavetheseyouthstartinyouthministrythispastyear!Wehaveabout20to25students that regularly attend, with about 40 students that have come out at least once this year. We meet on Thursday nights, where we begin all together for a teaching time and then break into groups to go a little deeper. We end the evening playing games, having different activities, and deepening friend-ships.

Senior Youth (Gr.9-12) As we look back over the last year of senior high ministry I cannot help but thank God for all the oppor-tunities we have been presented with. On Friday nights we gather together in groups and spend time connecting with the same friends and leaders each week. We have a teaching time where we discuss var-ious topics from biblical stories to cultural issues and what we believe about them.

Worship Arts Report

Leading the Church to Glorify God in His Presence

“May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may

with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”Romans 15:5-6 ESV

Reflecting on 2015I am reminded constantly of the Lord’s goodness and kindness for the way in which He has drawn to-gether so many like-minded worshipers, who love to pour themselves out faithfully to serve and build the church through worship for His glory and in return for our joy. There continues to be over 100 vol-unteers in our Worship Arts Community, from singers to musicians, artists, dancers, and each one in the technicalarea.IhonoureachoneinourWorshipArtsCommunityfortheirfaithfulness;Iloveeachofyoudearly.

Our church continues to be a place marked by seeking after and experiencing the presence of God to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ. Our dancers, faithfully directed by Erica Gray, continue to be a catalyst for breakthrough, celebrating the victory we have in Christ (Exodus 15:20- 21), dancing upon injustice, and ministering in the power and strength of the Spirit. Our artists, directed by Lindsay Mitch-ell, continue to glorify God through photography and painting to enable us as the body to see the word of the Lord, remind us of the creative Father we serve (Genesis 1:1) and His heart for us as His children. Our musicians and tech’s continue to use their gifts as an expression love to serve and build the church in worshiping Christ.

Looking Ahead for 2015As I look toward the future I desire to see:• OurworshipteamsgoingouttoministerinlocalchurchesinourSouthSaskatchewandistrict.• ThereleaseoflocalsongsthatarebeingfosteredinourWorshipCommunity.• TheimplementationofTeamNightstofostergreaterdepthandcommunityinour Worship Community. • Thenextgenerationofmusicians,artists,dancers,andleaderstobetrainedandraised up in the church. • ExtendedtimesofsingingthesongoftheLordandmovingdeeperintopropheticworship.

I desire to see our body set apart in glorifying the Lord, where God’s manifest-presence changes lives, and people are built up through worship. I believe God’s healing can come to people hearts, souls, bodies, and minds as we pour ourselves out to Him in worship. As a body, my desire is that we would continue to glorify Christ, be transformed through his redeeming love, empowered by the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the same love through which he has loved us.

Rooted Young Adults Ministry Report

Mission & VisionOurmissionistocultivatecommunityamongstyoungadultsthatdesiretoknowChrist(John17:3);coming alive in His love, releasing His power, and walking in His purity (2 Timothy 1:7). Our vision is to see Regina young adults loving His presence, engaging in worship, abiding in His Word, and living in community.

Reflecting on 2015It has been a privilege to help lead young adults since earlier this summer. They are a passionate group who love to worship and be in community. We desire to keep His presence central, while having a deep and strong foundation as we look to expand His kingdom.

We currently have 3 community groups that meet on Monday nights throughout Regina. We spend time together in the Word, worship, prayer and fellowship. We’re experiencing great depth within our community here as we’ve been studying 1 John and begin to study the Gospel of John in the new year. There’s an emphasis on really knowing Christ and being transformed into His likeness.

We offer a time of connection after Saturday night service. We do anything from watch movies, go out to eat, play boardgames, host a house party, or have outreach. It’s a time for young adults to connect and engage in community in a safe and fun setting.

Rooted Together Nights are our marquee event. We gather the whole community, approximately once a month at the church for a night of fellowship, worship, Word & ministry. This is a great time to have everyone under one roof and cultivate unity in Christ within the young adult community.

Leadership & Events Team: Brittany Carswell, Divin Mvoula, Tim Senko, Melissa Enns, Noah Quinnett, Kendall Bachtold, Karli Rad-felder, Allison Dolter, Janna Mailhot, Joni Mailhot, Jamie Claude

Community Group Hosts: Jan Gavel, Peter and Marcy Switzer, David and Ruth Delong

Thanks to each one for serving and cultivating community in Christ with our young adults. I am espe-cially thankful for my wife Amanda who does an incredible job providing leadership, pastoral care, and administrative support with the Rooted Life community.

Building Manager’s Report

Regina Apostolic ChurchWorking at a church is really a unique opportunity. Working for an employer who doesn’t have sales tar-gets, no sales of any type, we don’t make or sell anything, our business is simply leading people to Christ. Most times we absorb the cost of doing business to plant seeds into the lives of people. We provide funeralstothecommunityatnospecificcosttousethebuilding(donationonly),memberscanbookand use the church at times for no cost, we have outreach programs to the community where they can come and use our gym, we have classes to help people grow in faith at no cost, we have pastors to help council you at no cost, we host a church picnic and pancake breakfast to engage fellowship among you, we subsidize the Christmas Banquet or we’ll rent an arena so you can skate with your family.

There are real costs to run the lights, have the heat on, repair things that breakdown, and to hold these eventsthatwedon’tchargefor.Sothoseneedsarefulfilledoutoffaithandtheloveyouhavetosupportwhat we aim to achieve by tithes and offerings. I personally thank each and every one of you who give out of faith and support for what we do.

As you may have heard, donations in 2015 were a little lower than expected so some of the projects we would like to do have been moved from my 2015 budget to try again in 2016. - Weneedmorestoragespaceinthemainofficewhichwouldentailsomeuppercabinets.- Withtheflooringsurfaceinthenewnurseryweneedtomakesurethefloorisascleanand sanitary as possible for the little crawlers. The best way to achieve this would be with a new more maneuverablefloormachine.Thismachinewillalsobeusedforcleaningthekitchen,andother school-wing classrooms. - The west Foyer wall is bowed outward so the heater cover never stays on and the window casings are cracking and not sealed properly.- The bathroom counter tops in the main 3 bathrooms are stained and need replacing.- Our round tables that we use for most functions are in need of replacement. The tops are chipped, the legs are bent and there’s no more “good wood” to screw into when the legs come loose.- We need to landscape the northwest area due to construction from the west addition. We need to add sprinklers, grass, and trees.

Items that we did allocate funds to were mostly mechanical and could not be over looked. We had to repair some venting in the crawlspace, add a domestic water pump, and a hot water recirculating line and pump. A handicap button and door opener was added to the new Prayer Room bathroom and we had to replace a few doors that were broken beyond repair from people moving carts and other things around the church.

From the water damage we had in 2014 (with the Sanctuary roof blowing off ) we will be replacing the carpet in the sanctuary through insurance as there was water damage to the carpet that will not clean out.Theboardhasselectedacarpettilethatwillmatchtheeastadditionflooring.

With the church open 7 days a week from 8am to 10pm (most days) we need a lot of help to ensure the building is looked after, clean, and set up for events.

Joseph Atkins, and Luke Atkins for all their efforts.

Storie ManorStorie Manor continues to be a sought after building for seniors. We have a small waiting list for one bedroom and two bedrooms with people eagerly waiting their turn to move in.

In 2015 we had a turnover of 4 apartments which is about average for our building.

The building itself is aging and therefore we need to prepare for air conditioning replacement in the apartments, ranges, toilets, bathtubs, and tub surrounds.

Our long term tenants are starting to move on as well and that leaves the vacant apartments needing more work to get ready for the next tenant which includes carpet replacement in most cases.

We are still trying to source an answer as to why our roof continues to shrink in one direction pulling away from exterior walls. We have contractors scratching their heads saying, “I’ve never seen anything likethisinthe25–30yearsthey’vebeeninroofing.”

The alarm panel is also outdated. Although it works excellent and passes its annual inspections, parts are very rare as it has been discontinued for at least 15 or so years.

In 2015 the Storie Manor Tenant Auxiliary was made up of:

Frieda Behnke – President Charlotte Collins – SecretarySylvia Hancock – Vice President Karl Schulz – Treasurer

Funeral Lunch Committee Report

In 2015 funeral lunches were provided for 7 funerals.

Women in our church are divided into three groups under the leadership of Judy Stockdale, Janette Pow-ers and Mary Switzer.

Food is provided and served by funeral committees regardless of size of the funeral. There is no charge for the lunch, but with the donations given, the money goes to AWM for their ministry, which consists of money for students at Eston College, missionaries, and other needs that arise. This year’s donations were $1000.00. The lunch coordinator and overseer, Judy Stockdale, keeps records, bulletins and expense receipts/bills for each funeral.

Breakaway Mom’s Group Report

2015 was a year of growth for Breakaway. We meet every Monday morning from 10:00-11:30am. Atten-dance was between 20 and 30 any given week. Moms that attend were from both our church family and the community. Following our ice breaker question and announcements, someone from our leadership team led a topic for discussion. Carla Toth and Karen Kostron are the group leaders, assisted by Jenn Dean, Leanne Blanco, and Vanessa Mehrer.

Weareverygratefulforourchildcare!Wenowhave5ladiesthatcareforthechildren,usually30to35every week.

We discussed many topics relevant to parenting including relationships, speaking the truth, household organization,budgetingandfinances,post-partumhealth,aswellaspottytraining,andsleeptraining.We also discussed chapters from the book “Am I Messing Up My Kids” by Lysa TerKeurst. Each week we relate our topic to the Bible, as the word of God is always our standard. We were grateful for our guest speakers Jocelyn Reimer, Lindsay and Lois Miller, Melanie Dueck, Anita Atkins, Freida Benke, and June Sherring. Each one had a unique message and word of encouragement for our group.

Our group is passionate about serving our church family and community. We assisted assembling the Christmas Food Hampers, donated cookies and volunteered at Journey to Bethlehem, and many of us volunteered at the New2You Children’s Consignment Sale. We volunteered for the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign at the Southland Mall in December. This is the second year we have visited with the residents of the Regina Lutheran Care Home during Easter break. The children sang a couple of songs for the residents, then we all did a craft and shared a snack together. We donated coats and winter clothing to the North Central Family Centre, and we prepared meals for families that had a new baby.

Kedleston Gospel Camp Report

2015 marked 70 years of ministry at Kedleston Gospel Camp. From the very beginning, it has been a place where God meets with people, regardless of their age, calling them to a deeper relationship with Him. The experiences that take place at camp can be life-changing. These may be moments at the altar, meeting new friends who become part of your world for life, or walking along the beach looking at the beautiful surroundings. It is a special place and our desire is that it would continue to be a place where kids, teens and families spend time each summer to pursue all that God has for them.

Praise Reports from 2015 • 1270 campers came and heard of Jesus’ love and plan for them• Over 80 staff and volunteers gave of their time to serve• Safety and protection over campers, our grounds, and building all summer• Completion of a new canteen/clothing store• Financial needs for the operating budget were met - our goal during 2 family camps ($110,000)

Men’s Committee Report

Men’s Ministry has not been very active for a number of years in our body. We had a very successful Men’s Breakfast at Nicki’s Restaurant with 40 guys showing up. Alex Coleman gave his testimony and many men were blessed with the opportunity to fellowship with guys.

A number of men and I met and started planning some ministries for men for the Fall of 2015 and into 2016. We had a “Show & Shine” car show one Saturday morning in September along with a lunch of ham-burgers and hotdogs. Plans are in the works to have at least 4 breakfasts for the men over the 2016 year, plus attending the Promise Keepers Conference together on March 18-19, 2016.

It is so good to see a 12 Step Recovery program for men with struggles in their personal lives continuing under the leadership of Brother Doug Holmes. Also he gives direction to a Men’s Community Group for menthathasbeenflourishing.


New2You at the Ap Report

New2You at the Ap is a semi-annual children’s consignment sale. Approximately 120 consigners and 60 volunteers come together to run this event. Friday night consists of drop off and organization of items. The sale takes place Saturday morning. People typically start lining up 2 hours in advance, and this past year our crowd grew to over 800 people.

New2You is a great outreach opportunity. We have really been able to draw the community into our churchwiththissale.Approximately50%ofourvolunteersand75%ofourconsignersarecommunitymembers and have had no prior connection with our church. It has been a great way to build relation-ship and invite them to relevant ministries in our church.

New2Youpaysconsigners75%oftheirsales.Theremaining25%isusedtopayexpensesandthensplitbetween two ministries. The committee chooses one community based and one church based ministry to support each sale. In 2015 we supported Youth for Christ, Hope’s Home, Next Gen Building Fund and Kedleston Gospel Camp.

Many families choose to donate their unsold items. We have partnered with many community organiza-tions to bless families, single parents, foster families and others with all sorts of great children’s items.

On behalf of the committee, we are very excited about the opportunity to bless families and the commu-nity through this sale. We are very thankful to the church leadership for their continued support and we are looking forward to our next sale on March 5, 2016.

We used the setting as an opportunity to say thank you the Pastor Ernie and Barb Metz for the years of service to us and for being the Pastoral Rep to our committee. We then boarded the bus and took a tour of the Lajord Hutterite Colony were we enjoyed a lovely chicken supper. After supper some of their young ladies sang hymns for us. Our group joined them for an old fashioned hymn sing.

We encouraged our seniors to attend the Seniors Camp (Kedleston Gospel Camp) were we had the min-istry of Pastor Steve Atkins and Merv Switzer having Darcy Nate as our pastor. Seniors Camp in 2016 will be June 15-19 with Dave Wicks and John Stewart as speakers.

Finance Report

2015wasaverychallengingyearforthechurchoperationally.Ourfinancialstatementshowsthatwehad a net surplus of approximately $250,000. This was because our fund-raising for the Next Gen buildingisincludedinthecompletestatement.ThisisthefirstyearthatIcanfindwhereourtithedo-nationsactuallydecreased.Wesawareductionofapproximately,$61,000or$3.6%fromtheamountoftithe donated in 2014. Given that we had budgeted for an increase of $161,000, we were nearly $225,000 low in revenue. The bulk of the shortfall came early in the year and the last two months of the year saw a return to anticipated or budgeted monthly income which helped enormously.

When we include all of the revenue from all donations for operating, designated missionary giving and the Next Gen project giving we saw an overall decrease in giving of approximately $470,000 from 2014 levels.

This meant that planned capital projects were not completed and we had to ask everyone to reduce spending and to try to cut back as much as possible. This was not easy to ask but I give much thanks and credit to our staff for making this happen.

The lack of funds did not mean that the church did not move ahead spiritually. We had some very suc-cessfulministriesasyouhavereadinthevariousreports.WewerealsoabletomakesignificantprogressingettingourfinalblueprintsfortheEastBuildingAdditionreadyfortender,theapplicationforourbuilding permit, and a new water pressure booster pump installed for the Prayer Room washrooms. This pump will be service the new addition once the addition is complete. The shortfall in funds greatly reinforced our dependence upon God for provision. He did not provide what we wanted but did ensure we had what we needed and I am very grateful to the wonderful Lord we serve.

The upcoming budget has given the Board much contemplation and seeking of the Lord’s guidance. We have spent considerable time in prayer and are presenting a budget that we feel shows our dependence on God but is one of stewardship and faith as well.

This budget started to take form in September and we have included the East Building project as part of it, believing that the Lord will take us in that direction. We have anticipated, our income and expenses as accurately as we can. If the project moves ahead, a small surplus is anticipated for 2016. If the project should not proceed at this time a somewhat smaller but similar surplus is called for. We will again have our challenges in 2016 and will only move ahead at the pleasure of the Lord. We need to ensure that we continue to seek His will and then to act upon it regardless of the path He would have us take.

Once again, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to be allowed the honour of serving the Lord as the treasurer of this church. This is only possible with the support of a great multitude of in-dividuals working diligently, as they serve the Lord, often in complete anonymity. For that service, thank-you!

Respectfully submitted by Arlen Reed, Treasurer and Financial Chairman
