2 From the Minister of Discipleship UNCOVER YOUR INNER HERO Spending these last three weeks at First Church has been one of the delights of my life. I get to consistently meet people who feel a call or focus in their life toward love, peace, and action. I hear people working on identifying God in their life. We are called to be something greater than our purely feral or automatic states. We can choose to self-develop, or rather, to co-create ourselves with God. Paul's letter to the Colossians (chapter 3) describes some of the character traits God's people work to develop. They display compassion, kindness, and patience. Their hearts are soft with meekness and humility while they have the strength of character and clarity of vision to "teach and admonish one another in all wisdom". Real life super heroes aren't aliens from another planet or billionaires with a lot of time to kill. There are (to the best of my knowledge) no light sabers, radioactive spiders, or telekinesis of any kind. In our imminent universe, superpowers lie in the quality of our character, the strength of our will, our ability to muster solidarity, and in the kind of connective love that makes difficult jobs joyful and fulfilling. Through the activity of selfdevelopment we become the closest thing this world has to a super hero: a person with a unique gift and a clear mission based on a shared set of values that applies to today while transcending our time and culture. Does this idea inspires your heart? First Church is a community here to help you find your calling. The burden is light (Matt. 11:29) and a joy to carry. Together, let's uncover the superhero living inside of you! Faithfully, Rev. Josh Page 2

5 UNDERSTANDING THE CHURCH S FINANCES FOCUSING ON THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUND All of us are familiar with the church s annual pledge drive and its importance to generating financial support for the church s ministry and its program. That is seen in the fact that our contributions in the form of pledge payments and other offerings provide 75% of the financial support to underwrite the church s annual budget. It is likely, however, that few of us have much knowledge about the church s endowment funds and the role that they play in the church s financial picture, and this article and others to come over the next few months will help to explain that aspect of our church s financial picture. Over the past fifty years, through the generosity of its members and friends, First United Methodist Church has developed a series of funds which today have a combined value of $3 million. Those funds include endowment funds, trust funds, and others, and the earnings from those funds are used to support the church s operations and its programs. In the church s budget for 2017, these funds are providing 12% of the income to support the church s activities. (The remaining component of income other than contributions for the church s budget comes from facility use fees and other forms of income.) The funds are managed by the church s Board of Trustees, following the legal guidelines established by the State of Oregon s Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. When a fund is created, a statement of objectives for the fund is written, following the instructions of the donor, and that statement then guides the Board of Trustees in how the future earnings from the fund are to be spent. The largest of the funds is the Permanent Endowment Fund (PEF), which has as its objective to generate current income to provide maintenance for church facilities, as well as other outlays that the Trustees may deem appropriate. The PEF was created in 1966 when the church received a bequest of $75,000 from the estate of Truman W. Collins, and since that time, additional contributions amounting to a total of $2.1 million have been added to the fund. Over the years the investments which have been made with those contributions have generated income over $5 million to support the maintenance of the church s facilities, as well as additional operation support. Only the income from the fund has been spent, leaving the principal of the PEF available to provide on-going support to the church for the future. As additional contributions are received, the fund s ability to provide significant support to the church s program should continue in perpetuity. Other funds comprising the church s endowment funds will be the focus of future articles, and your gifts to these funds are welcomed. Additional contributions are an excellent manner of memorializing an individual, and they are a lasting contribution to the continuing growth of this church s programs and influence in the community. If you have any questions about the church s endowment funds and how you can contribute to them, please contact Donna Pritchard, Senior Pastor, Liz Temple, Church Administrator, or Bill Haden, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
