Revised: October 5, 2011

Trust FundApproved by The Session March 21, 1991

In February of 1991 the Session approved a Trust Fund for the church based upon the belief that those who leave bequests to the church intend to provide for and to share in the long-term mission of the church. Following is the resolution to implement the Trust Fund.

I. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FUND

Whereas, Christian people are called to be faithful managers of all the gifts of God; and

January 27, 2012 5 2011 Annual Report

Page 6: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

Whereas, there are many ways available for giving to the work of the church, such as bequests in Wills, charitable remainder and other trusts, charitable gift annuities, assignment of life insurance, and transfers of property (cash, stocks, bonds, real estate); and

Whereas, it is the desire of the Session to encourage, receive, and administer these gifts in a manner consistant with the faith expressed by the grantors and in accord with the policies of the Session:

Therefore, be it resolved that the Trust Fund Policy as originally enacted in a duly constituted meeting on March 17, 1991, be amended, approved, and established on the records of the church regarding the separate fund known as the Trust Fund (hereinafter called the Trust) of the First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, Ohio 45331, as is set forth hereinafter.

Be it further resolved that the purpose of the Trust is to expand and enrich the mission of the congregation, not primarily to support the annual operating budget. Designations for particular causes, including local support, will be scrupulously observed. Except where authorized in the terms of the gift, all principal amounts will be retained and only the income expended.

II. MANAGEMENT

The Trust shall be managed by five Trustees appointed by Session, all of whom shall be church members and three of whom shall be Session members. The Chair, designated by the Session, shall be a Session member. The term of each Trustee shall be three years. Initial appointments shall be staggered to ensure continuity. No Trustee shall serve more than two consecutive three-year terms. After a lapse of one year, former Trustees may be reappointed. The Pastor, Clerk of Session, and Treasurer shall be non-voting ex officio members. Appointments shall be made at the first regular Session meeting each calendar year. Trustees shall serve until their successors are appointed.

The Trustees shall meet at least quarterly.

A majority of all voting Trustees shall be necessary to carry any motion or resolution.

The Trustees shall elect a Recording Secretary who shall maintain complete and accurate minutes of all meetings. Each member shall keep a complete set of minutes to be delivered to his or her successor. Minutes shall be supplied to all members and ex officio members.

The books shall be audited annually by a Session appointed person or Auditor who is not a Trustee and the Audit Report shall be submitted to Session and annually to the Congregation through the Annual Report.

The investment objectives are to protect the Trust from undue risk; provide growth which will offset the inflation rate; and assist in providing income to accomplish the programs, maintenance and benevolences of the church.

The Trustees shall have the responsbility for the investment and management of the Trust in conformity with Session investment objectives and under the following guidelines:

1. At the discretion of the Trustees and on their recommendation to Session, investment in high quality fixed income securities may be made. Examples of such investments include

January 27, 2012 6 2011 Annual Report

Page 7: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

Bank C.D.’s, Money Market Funds, U.S. Government obligations, or AA and AAA Corporate Bonds. These securities should have a maturity of ten years or less.

2. At the discretion of the Trustees and on their recommendation to Session, investment in Equities conforming to high standards of quality which are expected to produce the best income and growth consistant with safety and supported by Christian ethics may be made. Such investments will be made for the Trust by a Securities Advisor approved by Session.

III. RECEIVING GIFTS

With Session approval all gifts, bequests and devises of permanent funds and other properties for current non budgetary purposes shall be deposited in a timely manner in the Trust Fund.

The Session may refuse to accept any gift which it deems inadvisable.

IV. USE OF TRUST FUND PRINCIPAL

The Trust Fund is a means to enhance the financial resources of the whole church and provide assistance which will continue to strengthen the mission of the church far into the future. Therefore, the principal amounts of the Trust, unless otherwise instructed, will be retained during the continued existence of the Trust Fund. Accumulated capital gains may be loaned or given for church projects by a three-fourths (3/4) vote of the Session. If loaned, Session shall decide what interest should be charged and shall assign a repayment schedule.

V. USE OF TRUST FUND INCOME

1. Interest income shall be defined as any interest or dividends, excluding capital gains, earned by the Trust Fund.

2. Trust income, when received, will be deposited in a separate account for allocation to needs approved by the Finance Committee’s recommendations to Session.

3. Trust income cannot be re-invested in the principal without Session approval.

4. Restricted income shall be distributed in accordance with the donor’s intent.

VI. LIABILITY OF INVESTMENTS BY TRUSTEE OR SESSION

In no event shall a Trustee or any member of the Session be held liable for any neglect or wrongdoing of any of themselves, or any agent or agents, selected with reasonable care, for any loss or damage except through their own gross neglect or willful default.

VII. CONGREGATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

In the event that the First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, Ohio divides, the Trust shall follow the majority of the congregation. For purposes here, “a division” shall mean a congregational schism of more than 20% of the active rolls, with such division occuring in an orderly or organized fashion. A mere change in membership rolls does not constitute a division. Any question as to whether there has been a division shall be resolved by the Trustees, in full recognition of their fiduciary duties. In the event of a division, the Trustees

Page 8: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

are charged with management of assets in a manner which reflects the proportionate divisions, although the Trustees are not bound to divide the Trust Res (assets held in trust), but are charged with making provision for the minority, so long as it is not inconsistent with the purpose of the Trust.

In the event that the First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, Ohio disaffiliates from the denomination with which it is associated, the Trust shall follow the majority of the congregation. The Trustees are charged with management of the assets in a manner which reflects the proportionate division of the congregation, although the Trustees are not bound to divide the Trust Res (assets held in trust) but are charged with making provision for the minority, so long as it is not inconsistent with the purpose of the Trust.

VIII. AMENDMENT

Be it further resolved that the Trust Fund may be amended at any time by two affirmative votes of two-thirds (2/3) of the total membership of Session taken at two consecutive Session meetings held at least twenty-eight (28) days apart, and subsequently approved by a simple majority of the church membership.

IX. TERMINATION

Be it further resolved that the Trust Fund may be terminated at any time by two affirmative votes of two-thirds (2/3) of the total membership of Session taken at two consecutive Session meetings held at least twenty-eight (28) days apart, and subsequently approved by a simple majority of the church membership. In the event of termination of the Trust Fund, any prinicipal and/or accumulated interest shall be returned to The First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, Ohio for the same purposes upon which they were received.

X. APPROVAL

Hereby approved by recommendation of Session dated October 9, 2011 and confirmed by a meeting of the Congregation held on October 16, 2011. (Signatures are on actual documents)

Page 12: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

10. AFFILIATION

These By-Laws recognize that at the present time there are tensions within the Presbyterian Church (USA), with questions of theology, polity, and social witness causing divisiveness among particular churches in the denomination, calling into question the integrity of the connectionalism which has characterized this denomination. Individual churches have elected to depart from the denomination, either for independency or for affiliation with other Presbyterian denominations. This church recognizes its inherent right to self determination in matters of faith, practice, and affiliation. As noted in the PCUSA Book of Order, “we consider the rights of private judgment in all matters that respect religion as universal and unalienable.” (G-1.0301). This principle applies to this particular congregation as to the manner in which it lives out its greater witness to the community as a Christian church, and in the event that this church decides to consider its denominational affiliation, shall determine the same by majority vote. (G-4.0301(e).) Session shall be charged with managing and directing any such consideration with Christian charity to all concerned.

Page 13: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

These bylaws therefore expressly affirm the right of the congregation to consider and decide upon matters of denominational affiliation according to the dictates of conscience.

11. BY-LAW AMENDMENTS

A. These by-laws may be amended subject to the charter of the corporation and the laws of the State of Ohio at any Annual Meeting, or at any Special Meeting, by a majority vote of the voters present, provided that a full reading of the proposed changes shall have been made in connection with the call of the meeting.

B. If any amendment or repeal of the rules of the by-laws is to be presented at either the Annual Meeting or Special Meeting, written notice of the meeting together with a copy of the proposed amendment(s) shall be furnished each eligible voter of the church two weeks prior to such meeting.

Hereby approved by recommendation of Session dated October 2, 1011 and confirmed by a meeting of the Congregation held on October 16, 2011. (Signatures on actual documents)

“Taking Hold of Our Future”

In one of my favorite “Peanuts” comic strips, Lucy is in her psychiatrist booth counseling Charlie Brown. He has just lost another baseball game and feels depressed and sad. Lucy looks at Charlie and says,

“Look Chuck, you are going to have to face facts – life is a series of ups and downs.”Charlie gets up and screams,

“I hate downs, all I want is ups.”

I think we can all relate to Charlie Brown. All of us would prefer life to be all ups and no downs, all peaks and no valleys. But we know better. All of us will face valleys in life. The key is our attitude when we are in the valley, or to put it another way, how we see the valley. The key is how we respond to the valley.

In Luke chapter 9 beginning at verse 28, Jesus is experiencing an “up.” He is on the Mount of Transfiguration and experiencing the biggest spiritual high he has ever gone through in life as the vale of his humanity is lifted and the true nature of the exalted Christ is exposed. Luke writes in verse 29,

“And while he was praying, the appearance of his (Jesus) face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.”

Mark in his Gospel adds this detail in chapter 9 at verse 3, “… and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them.”

Jesus was on the mountaintop experiencing amazing fellowship with His Father, but Jesus knows that he can’t stay in that place, that he needs to go down the mountain to Jerusalem where he must face the Cross. The “ups” are great, but there is much to learn in the “downs;” there is much to learn in the valleys.

Friends for half of 2011, it felt as if we as a church were in the valley. Sometimes doing the will of the Lord feels like the valley. Certainly this was the case for Jesus as he prayed to his Father in Gethsemane about the prospect of the Cross:

“Take this cup from me; nevertheless not my will but Thy will be done,” (Matthew 26:39).

From the Cross Jesus also prayed: “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me,” (Matthew 27:46)

Sometimes doing the will of God is hard; it is costly; it is difficult. For Jesus to bear the sin of the world and all of humanity on his shoulder was not an easy task. Nevertheless it was a necessary sacrifice if we were to experience salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life. Jesus had to go through the valley in order for us to experience the mountaintop of salvation.

This past year the Session and this congregation showed tremendous leadership in the face of difficult times. How easy it would have been for our church to forego the valley in order to do the expedient thing. How easy it would have been for our church to go along with the flow of society and cultural values and not stand up for biblical authority and the truth of God’s Word. We experienced ridicule from some, sadly we have lost some members, we have experienced trial by

fire, but in the end God has taken us “through the valley,” and planted us on a firm foundation for future growth and blessing. The valley was worth it! Carrying our cross for Jesus was worth it!

However, just because we have stood up for biblical authority and doctrinal purity doesn’t mean our job is done. Decline in growth in our former denomination, the PCUSA, and in some of the churches of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church including our own forces us to ask: What ever happened to living out the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19,

“Go and make disciples of all nations,”

and the calling of Jesus to us all in Acts 1:8,

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be mywitnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth?”

The new denomination we have affiliated with in the transitional presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church values biblical authority, has articulated essential tenets that are clear and precise, is committed to a Reformed understanding of scripture through the Westminster Confession of Faith, emphasizes our connectional understanding with other Christians and the larger Church, but also has a strong missional focus that says we must be willing to go ourselves in our own sphere of influence and embody and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Yes, we need to support missions with our dollars, but we need to be witnesses and missionaries ourselves in order to impact our culture and community for Christ and grow the church. Friends, as church staff, as church elders and deacons, and as church members, we are in partnership to grow the church together and to make believers out of a pagan society.

Church purity and biblical authority are great, but now let us move on in accomplishing the mission of the church. As we do so, we will experience more and more of the mountaintop because we will see lives changed by Jesus. Whose lives can each one of us touch? How can the church equip you for this task? How can the larger church of the EPC equip us? These are questions we need to be asking in order to accomplish Christ’s call in our lives.

Nearly two hundred years ago missionaries from Dayton, people like you and me, had a spiritual burden for Greenville,OH to share faith, make believers, establish disciples, and form a Presbyterian Society. Our forefathers embodied the missional church. We can do no less. Let us take hold of our future together. Your input, ideas, example and partnership are what is needed.

Power and blessings, Pastor John

Deacon’s Annual Report 2011

The slate of officers for 2011 were as follows:Co-Presidents: Chris Hayes & Craig LelandVice President: Jan BoyerSecretary: Jan DemuthTreasurer: Becky Luce

The Deacon’s held their monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month beginning at 7:00 p.m.

One of our fundraising endeavors was the selling of Cabbage Rolls headed up by Elizabeth Andrews and another was selling subs headed up by the entire Board of Deacons. The subs were prepared and packaged in our newly renovated kitchen.

As per tradition, the Deacons always supply palms for the Palm Sunday’s worship service. A total of 200 palms were ordered and passed out.

Again, it was encouraged that the Deacons continue the effort of welcoming visitors to our church. Additional “welcome bags” were complied along with a small lapel pin (rose) and ongoing distribution of our bread patrol – Jan Boyer is in charge of this.

Throughout 2011 many monetary and non-monetary donations were given. In addition to the above mentioned causes we gave out money for community requests after having been cleared through Job & Family Services or personal requests as per church member contacts and donated toiletries to Darke County Home Residents over the Christmas holiday as well as rolls of quarters for the Easter holiday to utilize vending machines and/or public transit.

Our Fall Fundraiser was the MUM’S THE WORD project – chaired by Deacon Jan Demuth. The Deacons sold fall mums which were bought from the North Star Greenhouse. A big thank you goes out to all who purchased those fall mums and ultimately helped with the Deacons fundraising efforts.

The Deacons, along with other volunteers from our congregation, participated in bell ringing for our community, served a Thanksgiving meal to our church family as well as the community, and ran the GRCC soup kitchen on the fifth Tuesday of any respective month, serving pasta, salad, garlic bread and an assortment of desserts with refreshments.

The Deacons solicit donations from the congregation for the “peanut-butter and jelly” project for Grace Resurrection Community Center as well as food items for FISH Choice Food Pantry. We host coffee hour one Sunday a month, deliver the altar flowers to our sick and shut-ins and those in nursing homes after every Sunday service, coordinate ushers and greeters for each service, coordinate the acolytes for each service, additional visitation to church members in nursing homes or those who are homebound.

The entire roster of Deacon participants for 2011 were as follows: Virginia Bertram, Jan Boyer, Paul Boyer, Jan Demuth, Jody Lockhart, Craig Leland, Becky Luce, Tina Smith, Germaine Wallace, Kim Cromwell, Chris Hayes, Tom Lecklider, Angela Perin, Elizabeth Andrews, Suzanne Brown, Hugo van der Walt and Kelsey Tester. We had a great group who accomplished many important missions for the First Presbyterian Church of Greenville, Ohio.

Christian Education Committee 2011

Committee Members: Holly Finnarn (Sunday School Superintendant); Ginny Bertram (Children’s Sunday School); Nikki Gilmore (Youth Director); Marnelise van der Walt (LOGOS Director); Chip Caldwell, Molly Mumaw, Ben Hudson, Petria Eloff, Patti Jetter, Beverly Shively & John Person (Ex Officio).

In 2011 the Christian Education Committee had some success and some disappointments. The committee discussed two problems concerning Sunday School: the lack of young couples attending and the low attendance of the adults. It was suggested for the adults that were not interested in attending every Sunday that a series of topics be set up for once a month and held in the sanctuary. Thanks to the efforts of Chip Caldwell, Steve Hottle was obtained who spoke for four weeks on the world’s four largest religions. Unfortunately this program could not be continued due to funding.

On the bright side, thanks to the efforts of Patti Jetter, Susie Leland and Molly Mumaw, a new couples class been established. This class began with a curriculum about Parenting.

There is a big thank you to those persons seldom seen or heard from: our Sunday School teachers. These are special persons who have dedicated their time and money to our children.

Junior High and Senior High Youth Programs: The youth program here at First Presbyterian Church continued to grow and flourish this past year with quality, dedicated young adults.

Page 19: storage.cloversites.comstorage.cloversites.com/firstpresbyterianchurch8/documents/Annual... · Web viewTABLE OF CONTENTS. AGENDA………………………………………………………………………………...………..2

Activities for this past year have included:

Planning and leading the Sunrise Easter Service Multiple lunch fundraisers after church High school and Junior high lock-in Trip to the Cornerstone Music Festival Mission Trip to Nashville, Tennessee Participation in the Christmas Eve service

A special word of thanks goes out to all the volunteers that have given of their time and resources this past year. This youth program is not a one man (or woman) job and all of your generous help and donations have been greatly appreciated. We look forward to another wonderful, growing year in 2012!

LOGOS Program: LOGOS, our free Wednesday night children’s program for kids age 2 through 5th grade, starts in September and runs through April. This free community outreach every Wednesday from 5-7:00 PM is currently attended by 35 kids. A large group of kids attending the program this year are from the community and have other home churches. The kids have fun with music, games, sound biblical teaching and a family meal. The children learn to experience God through learning about Jesus and the Bible, to have better relationships with others, and to praise and worship God. “Believe in God, believe also in me,” John 14:1. Currently, Logos is being coordinated with the help of a group of wonderful volunteers. Volunteers and Logos parents are involved in the following ways: teachers, teachers assistants, music/worship skills, craft and recreation, table parents, kitchen help, table set-up, decorating help, dinner dean and Logos store help.

Vacation Bible School: From the 17th – 21st of July we had our yearly VBS, “Jonah: An Overboard Adventure!” Joined by the St. Paul Lutheran Church we help the kids to learn to walk in God’s ways. We learned that God cares about us and has a plan for us. The kids made cool crafts, sang fun songs, played games, and made lots of friends!

We had a total of 55 kids that registered and attended VBS. Daily attendance varied from 20 to 40 kids on different nights. A BIG THANK YOU!, to all our volunteers who spent endless hours preparing for the children. A lot of volunteers donated their time, energy and supplies, all of this helped to make Vacation Bible School a success. A special word of thanks to all the people who prayed for VBS - may God Bless you all!

NOMINATING COMMITTEE 2011

Parish Life 2011

The Parish Life Committee’s duties are to create fellowship for the congregation by organizing and preparing meals for various church activities. Most of the meals are ones that the church provides the meat and drinks. The remainder of each of these meals are family style “carry-ins” where the congregation brings in covered dishes to share with those members of the congregation that partake in the meal and the fellowship.

The Parish Life Committee is involved with the summer food program that serves lunch meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week during the summer months. These meals are served to the communities underprivileged children that wish to participate in the program. Four groups of ladies and gentlemen prepare these “kid-friendly” meals which are then followed by games or Christian activities for the youth. Again, the attendance has increased as the community families have learned of the program.

A couple of families were helped during the year by the Caring Cooks, who provided meals for families with special needs. The list of participants in this program is in the process of being updated. Members need to communicate with either the church office or Pastor John if there is a need for this service.

Sunday Fellowship Hour is another responsibility of the Parish Life Committee. Herb Stentzel is there each week, willingly making the coffee. On the second and third Sundays of each month, the Deacons and Session, respectively, serve coffee hour. The coffee hour on the remainder of

the Sundays during the year are served by other members of the congregation. There is a sign-up sheet on the counter for members to sign for sharing in this ministry. This is a special time for Christian fellowship each week.

A few of the meals served this past year were the Officer Appreciation dinner in February, Ash Wednesday in March and Maundy Thursday dinner in the spring. Parish Life also has involvement in the Fall Festival in the fall.

I would like to personally thank the members of the committee who helped serve during the past year: Fran Nord, Elizabeth Andrews, Hazel Blanchard, Toni Heggie, Linda Demuth, and Mary Ann Caldwell.

Chancel Choir Report 2011

The Chancel Choir continues to praise God through our weekly musical additions to the Sunday service. We were especially blessed this past year to have the additions of Violin, Cello, Flute and Bells. As always, Darrell Fryman, Jane Tester and Brad Hare enhance our performances.

The men sange once again for Mother’s Day and our Men’s Quartet shared several numbers throughout the year. We enjoyed merging with the Methodist choir in May at both church services.

MISSION COMMITTEE 2011 ANNUAL REPORT:

This year the Session of our church was trying to decipher which new reformed denomination best addressed the mission of the church. Through a discernment process, the Session recommended to the congregation the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Its missional emphasis on members bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to our community was a strong component in the Session’s decision, along with its reformed background, and doctrinal stance.

In addition, we as a congregation supported and were involved in many mission projects. We began to provide meals at Grace Resurrection Community Center on the fifth Tuesday of respective months. We thank Jan Boyer for organizing this effort and bringing a host of volunteers together. We also thank Jan for continuing our Community Thanksgiving Meal and organizing a team of helpers who graciously acted as Christ’s servants on Thanksgiving Day.

In addition, we continued our involvement in the Summer Food Program to children who are in the free or reduced lunch program in our Greenville City School system during the regular school year. We regularly had 20 – 30 students each Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer. Thanks to all the cook teams who provided leadership.

Other ways by which we reached out to our community included our tutoring ministry and our involvement in the CROP Walk. From February through the end of April, we supplied 18 or so tutors to South School who worked with an after school tutoring program to 6th graders under the direction of Lindsey Peltz. Thanks to Diane Amick and Kathy Lockhart who helped organize volunteers from our church. Thanks to all of our tutors who gave of their Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:20 p.m. In addition, we had several people from our church walk in our annual CROP Walk in October. Thanks to Bill and Edna Farrell who provided refreshments for this event and graciously served them to the public in the front foyer of our church. We thank Mark Heggie for registering walkers.

Our Youth went to Nashville, Tennessee for their annual mission trip. Under the direction of Nikki Greendyke, they accomplished many projects. Thanks to the congregation for supporting their fundraising events and supporting our youth through prayer.

Our Stephen Ministers are also an integral part of our church outreach to members and friends who need a helping hand and a compassionate ear. Thanks for all you do to bring the love of Christ to people in need.

As always, we support several missionaries through our church budget which we have the privilege to pray for regularly. Please keep in your prayers Tim and Kathy Holcomb who serve through Background Mission Partners, Nick and Keyna Costelluccio who serve in Chicago at Northwestern University with Campus Crusade for Christ, Philip Brewer in Osaka, Japan with Campus Crusade for Christ, and Charly and Christina Sommers with Navigators in Cincinnati.In addition continue to support in prayer our local missions: the Chaplaincy Office at Wayne Hospital (Rev. Joe Soley), the Greater Greenville Ministerial Association, Community Unity, FISH, and Grace Resurrection Center.

We thank the congregation for their involvement in mission this year. If you would like to servein some capacity or volunteer on our committee, please contact Pastor John or a member of the Session.

Personnel Committee 2011

The work of the Personnel Committee during caledar year 2011 was largely limited to the conduct of the required annual review of Church employees and an assessment of the two positions created during 2011 to provide custodial and maintenance services for the Church property.

All employee interviews were conducted at the end of the year, with all affected employees being found to have performed their job functions either at, or exceeding, job performance expectations. No increases in salary/compensation for any affected employees were recommended, due to the Church’s current financial condition, however, consider will be given to increasing the number of hours that certain employees may work for the Church.

As for the newly created custodial/maintenance positions both of the affected employees, when queried, believe that the division of job functions is working well and both are satisfied with that division. It is the opinion of the Personnel Committee that the subject division of responsibilities should be continued.

Media Committee 2011

Committee members include: Johann Eloff, Dan Hawley, Karen and Gene Henninger and Pastor John Person.

The committee is in charge of the Video and Audio recording and production of “God’s Living Word”, and provides this weekly production to Greenville Public Access Television (GPAT). In addition, the program is made available to the Brethren Home and other church shut-ins.

The weekly recording requires one Director, one Sound Engineer and two Camera Technicians. There are 4 teams that rotate throughout the year to ensure the recording of the program. Weddings or other events such as VBS and Steve Hottle’s World Religions presentations are also supported by the ministry.

2011 in ReviewThe following equipment changes were made in 2011:

Repaired/replaced equipment damaged from lightning strike: Replaced computer Repaired sound board Repaired light controller

DVD/VCR Recorder Lapel wireless microphone Wireless hand microphone 3-disk DVD burner, paid for by donation.

Looking towards 2012There are no plans to replace any major equipment in 2012. The Audio and Video recording team is in need of new members, specifically Directors and Sound Engineers, and recruitment of new members, a new chair person and a new recruiter/scheduler will take precedence.

Special thanks to all members of the Media Committee and teams for their hard work this year and contribution in completing this report.

Respectfully submittedThe Media Committee

Presbyterian Women 2011

The Presbyterian Women, aka, Tuesday Gals, have had a wonderfully full year with a long dreamed goal accomplished: a new church kitchen. Much planning and work with the input of many women (and men) resulted in a very practical yet beautiful result. Funds for the project came from fund raising by the Presbyterian Women, donations, memorials and proceeds from the Kroger gift cards.

Replacement of the old roasters by new ones and the replacement / addition of pans and utensils as well as reorganization of the kitchen cupboards was a follow-up project after the completion of the kitchen renovation.

A new service instituted by Toni Heggie has been the prayer squares to be given to members and non-members in need of prayer. The prayer square, a quilt square with ties, is placed in the Narthex to be knotted and signed by those who will pray specifically for the recipient.

The Presbyterian women continue to enjoy fellowship with meals together and special outings. All women of the congregation are invited to share in the good times at Tuesday Gals events, usually the second Tuesday of the month.
