3 ATTACHMENT B Senior Warden Report --most of my time this month has been spent on dealing with Rev. Stacy s departure, including arranging for supply priests for January and February, consulting with the diocesan office about the process of hiring an interim rector, phone interview and reference checking of an interim candidate, extensive meetings with Rev. Stacy and the staff about transitional matters, arranging for a commemorative plaque as a farewell gift for Rev. Stacy, making sure the rectory is clean and secure after her departure,

4 and probably several other things I can t recall at the moment. It has been a busy time and will continue to be for a while. I will spend part of this month s meeting giving the vestry an update on the transition process. ATTACHMENT C Junior Warden Report No Report ATTACHMENT D Fellowship Report We've been busy! *Christmas Eve was wonderful and pretty well attended! *Bishop Lee's visit- we were unable to attend but sounded great! *Farewell to Rev. Stacy- another wonderful time. Thanks to Peggy, Jocelyn, and Freyja!! Coming up... Chili cook-off?? I'll prepare another sign up sheet for year's events!! ATTACHMENT E Music Ministries Report Vestry Meeting, Sunday, January 15, 2017 St. Paul s Episcopal Church - DeKalb, IL 1. The Adult/Youth and Children s Choirs Did a wonderful job singing and assisting in the liturgy for both the Christmas Eve and Epiphany services. Are back singing, and continue to be present, robed, and assisting as an integral part of the worship services. 2. Current Administrative Work Includes: Worship o Researching and programming the music for 2017 Worship services [hymns, service music] The adult/youth and children s choirs (choral anthems) Preludes and postludes (mentoring Kathleen Johnson, Organist) Staff o I met with Rev. Stacy and the Wardens (Rick Johns and Peg Newby) on 01/09/2017. We briefly reviewed a job description, and the music program relative to the upcoming transition of an interim, etc. o I will be meeting with Kathleen Johnson, Organist and Hannah Buckle, Pianist for their bi-annual reviews. o I will be updating all the music program job descriptions (organist, pianist, choir director, director of music) from my 2009 files and share them with the wardens, vestry, and interim priest. (See budget) Maintenance o The sanctuary Yamaha GH1 Grand Piano repair (ceiling damage) was completed in November. However, I am not pleased with the finish (polish) and have asked the vendor to return and make some changes. I will be meeting with him on Friday, January 27. The cost will be between $50.00 and $

5 The sanctuary Grand Piano needed to be tuned several times in December and once again in January before the Epiphany services. I believe the cold weather is the main reason for it going out of tune. Budget 2017 o The 2017 music budget was completed and submitted to the rector and treasurer in o I will be updating the history of music salaries (coinciding with the aforementioned job descriptions) dating back to my start at St. Paul s ( ). I will review this data with the wardens, treasurer, interim priest and vestry. I hope this will be helpful for the church financial archives/records. Collaborative Staff o I continue to collaborate weekly with my colleague Susan King, Administrative Assistant. We predominantly communicate by phone and , and occasionally with text messaging. I make music edits in our bulletins via Drop Box. Additionally, I work with Susan to trouble shoot any technical issues that arise on the church computer as well as the church website. Lay Administrative Work Due to the holidays and transitional time of the church and interim priest, both the Sanctuary Reconfiguration (SR) and On-Line Giving (OLG) committees are on hold until February and March o In addition to the five major areas (see below) and projects, the Sanctuary Reconfiguration Committee is currently in the process of drafting an overall budget. Some items may be considered for inclusion into the Major Gifts Campaign. Five Major Areas: I. Accessibility: Wheel Chairs & Walkers, Pew Cushions, Replace worn kneeler pads. II. A Welcoming Entrance: Columbarium Space, Children's Pray Ground, and Centralize Musicians. III. Worship Area: Altar (lighter movable), Bigger/lighter Baptismal Font. IV Lighting: Add more lighting to the Overhang/Nave. V. Sound & Hearing: Add microphones and speakers. I continue to research On-Line Giving (direct payments of annual pledging as well as church website donate buttons. I hope to consult with Jamie Stubblefield, and then meet with him and the wardens, treasurer, interim priest and administrative assistant in February or March to share my findings and move forward to implement electronic payments at St. Paul s. In December, I made two separate online payments (donations) from my personal Chase banking account to St. Paul s. I will work with our treasurer (Pat Brown) to monitor and follow the process. This will hopefully show us how these types of transactions show up on the church bank statements and how we can best transfer the data from there to the proper accounts relative to pledgers designations and the budget line items. Lorraine Langer, Director of Music, Friday, January 13, 2017 ATTACHMENT F Adult Christian Education Sundays of Advent we will be using the Living Compass devotional Living Well in Advent as our discussion guide. These devotionals will be available for free to the congregation while supplies. Attendees are discussing an Epiphany curriculum. Beginning to look at the book, Good Grief. Westburg
