New Business - Vision and Goals for the next 3-5 years first stab The vision of the Administrative Support Ministry is to help our staff to grow personally and professionally so they are equipped to help the congregation and community grow spiritually. - Pastoral Staff Questions from many have been voiced as to why both pastors are away at the same time. While it was discussed in January when David s Holy Land Trip and Kate s Ambassador for Offerings commitments overlapped 2 days. Arrangements were made for clergy to be on call during this timeframe. At that time it was discussed, determined and understood that these instances would be few and far between. Moving forward, it is desired by this ministry that the Head of Staff work to plan staff time away so that one of the pastors is in town at all times and that it will be a rare event when both pastors are out-of-town at the same time.

We welcomed new member Susie Fulcher Mail received: Thank you note from Faith Works Old Business: The two Lenten Dinners, where our Ministry provided the hands-on project, were successful. We made six lap blankets for the Lenten Dinner on March 4th which were delivered to Samaritan House by their speaker to our dinner. At the March 25th Lenten Dinner we made 69 Easter Baskets and 230 sandwiches, which were delivered to St. Columba the next day by members of our Ministry. Butch Brenton, on the St. Columba Board was the speaker for the dinner. Butch also took the opportunity to sell tickets for upcoming St. Columba Dinner & Silent Auction. Donation Boxes Thom Sare discussed the progress of building donation boxes. It will be an Eagle Scout project. A Scout will make three wooden boxes one large box for the Atrium, and two smaller boxes for the children s wing and Fellowship Hall. All boxes will be on castors, and will have a slot in front for attaching a sign to note the type of donation requested. The large box will be 18 wide x 48" inches long x 24 tall. The large box will have a removable divider and have a stain finish. The small boxes will be painted. All boxes will cost about $150. The Scouts are supposed to solicit funding for these boxes, and one source will be our own Ministry. A Scout will pitch our group sometime in the near future. The boxes should be ready in time for the next Winter Shelter. Shelving for our storage closet in room 508. Thom will also develop this project. No details are available yet. VOA "Make a Difference Dinner & Silent Auction on May 1st (see below) St. Columba "Baskets of Love" Silent Auction & Benefit Dinner on May 30th (see below) HumanKind Day in the Country event on April 25th (see below) New Business: All Ministries at Bayside have been tasked by Pastor Rollins to share their vision and goals for the next 3-5 years at the next Session meeting (April 21st). To that end, our Ministry developed the following: In order to better meet the Great Ends of the Church (Book of Order F ) - particularly to provide shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship of the children of God, our Ministry would desire to expand our Community Service Ministry mission to achieve the following. These goals would only be possible with an increase in Ministry volunteers and a 50% increase in Budget. Increase the monetary donation to our existing programs especially to agencies like St. Columba who depend so much on our support; Expand to new programs for adults/children in need, but also programs to help the local environment; 3
4 Serve additional families on a daily basis in our Food Pantry; Provide more Easter Baskets, Thanksgiving Baskets, and Angel Tags; Serve as not only an emergency shelter, but as a first responder for Disaster Relief; Provide not only a donation, but more hands-on help to Faith Works projects; See more of our congregation donate to our quarterly Blood Drives. Treasurer s Report Pam Spillman reported that as of March 31, 2015 $5,050 of our $25,000 budget for 2015 has been spent. This amount spent represents the quarterly donation to our agencies. It was noted that none of our $1,800 budgeted for the Dwelling Place has been spent, and none of our $2,600 Project Activity Budget has been spent. Some of this funding could be used for the donation box and shelf project mentioned above. The balance available in the Food Pantry account is $6, Community Agency and Activities Reports: Angel Tags no report (out of season) Beach Health Clinic ACTION ITEM - at our March meeting, Bill Warden requested our team arrange a collection drive for paper products, toilet paper, tissues, etc. Connie will request permission from Session. Once granted, Pam will begin collection - put out collection boxes, advertise in Helmsman/Binnacle/Atrium Monitor, ask Bill to do a Minute for Mission, etc. Thom said the Boy Scouts will collect paper products on May 20th. Kate will investigate a collection by the preschool. Blood Drive next Tuesday (April 14th) is the next Blood Drive from 2 pm to 7 pm. If possible it would be nice to know how many units of blood come from members of our congregation. This type of information could be included in our Annual Report to encourage more congregants to donate blood. Bulletin Board new items have been added to the Bulletin Board to provide information and attract volunteers to help with some of our more manpower intensive programs. Easter baskets 69 baskets were delivered to grateful hands at St. Columba. The baskets were enthusiastically packed by the children of Bayside at our March 25th Lenten dinner. Emergency Disaster Shelter no report. Faith Works no report from Bob, but Lynne reminded us that when groups in Bayside are looking for service projects, volunteering for a Faith Works project is a great choice. Her Middle Ground group did just that recently. Maybe we could add that type of promotion to the Bulletin Board. Also it would be nice to know how many congregants or Bayside groups donate their time to Faith Works Projects. It would be included in our Annual Report to encourage more congregant/group participation. Food Pantry Audre reported that 11 families consisting of 27 adults and 14 children were served in the month of March. Our shoppers purchased $ in groceries for these families, and of this amount $ was donated by the shoppers. Good News Jail Ministry no report Human Kind (formerly Zuni) Carlos reported April 25th is the annual Day in the Country event. He would like to go as a group please let him know if you are interested. ACTION ITEM JCOC no report Lighthouse/VOA - Connie reminded us about the annual VOA Make a Difference Dinner will be held on May 1st at the Resort and Conference Center on Shore Drive. It will be a Pirate s theme, and a Silent Auction. Tickets are $50. For tickets, please see Connie. Also, Connie is soliciting donations for the Silent Auction baskets. ACTION ITEM Meals on Wheels no report. Panera Bread the Spillmans will pick up May 3rd; the Sare s on May 10; and the Robbins on May 24th. May 17 and 31 are currently open. Thom will do a Minute for Mission to discuss the need for additional volunteers to pick up at Panera on Sunday evenings and to wrap on Monday mornings. Also Thom is repairing the Panera cart. Samaritan House no report School supplies no report (out of season) Sentara PACE Bible Study Lynne reported this program continues going well St. Columba 230 sandwiches were made at the March 25th Lenten Dinner, and delivered to St. Columba the next day. Rick reported that there were excess ham sandwiches packed/frozen from the recent Easter Brunch. He will take them to St. Columba. Finally, Lynne reminded us that Saturday, May 30th is the Annual Baskets of Love Silent Auction and Benefit Dinner for St. Columba at Bayside Presbyterian Church. Auction starts at 5 pm; dinner served at 5:30 pm. Tickets are $20. Butch sold tickets to this event during the March 25th Lenten Dinner, but more tickets are available. ACTION ITEM 4
5 Seton Youth Shelters no report Thanksgiving Baskets no report/out of season Announcements: Rick reminded us about the Reenactment of 1st Peter program coming up Saturday, April 18th at 8 am. This is sponsored by Presbyterian Men, and open to all. There will be a breakfast ($5 donation), followed by the live reenactment by Ken Maynard. Martha mentioned that the Bayside Fun and Fellowship group (former Bayside Buddies) is restarting and coming up with fun events to do. Information available on the Information Desk in the Atrium. Connie closed the meeting in prayer at 8:20 p.m. Connie Schreiber, Moderator Congregational Care Present: Bobbie Brenton, Terri Wilkins, Nancy Hamilton, Paula Jesberg. Excused: Chris Viano The meeting was opened with prayer. Discussion of the following programs that require support from Congregational Care: Lunch Bunch: March 25, 12 pm-1 pm in Fellowship Hall. This went well with approximately 20 people attending. Paula was the MC and led the discussion concerning proposals for the way the program would run. Dates would be submitted to Bobbie, as Moderator for Congregational Care and individuals or teams would carry out the programs. All the names of those attending were taken and put into an excel program which will be used to distribute new program information directly to those at the meeting and those that request it. Bobbie will pass all new programs to Kim for publicity. The new name for the program is Bayside Fun and Fellowship (BFF). Paula will set another meeting for the initial group to meet and put together a lunch meeting for the attendees of this first meeting and other to attend and access the program and accrue ideas for the future. Easter Brunch: April 5, 10:00 am. Presbyterian Men (PM) cooked, Congregational Care decorated tables with Easter items. PM did an excellent job. The turnout was about 100 including children. Kim did an Easter Egg Hunt with children. A suggestion for next year would be to set up 12 tables vs 10 we had this year. A committee made up of Marie Parr, Paula Jesberg, and Bobbie Brenton made an excellent start on establishing a policy for Bereavement Receptions. This small group will meet again in April to continue working on a policy for Bereavement receptions. Ministry looked at tri-fold for funerals and added a Bereavement Coordinator cost at $ , similar to wedding coordinator. Discussion of Staying in Touch Initiative was discussed. The list developed by Kate of those members over the age of 90, members homebound, and members in Assisted Living received an Easter Postcard along with about 75 folks that we had lost touch with. These cards were distributed at Session for Session members to sign and mail. They had been stamped and addressed. The Ministry will meet again on Tuesday, April 14 at 11:30 am to discuss how we will approach the issues involved with staying in touch with these members. Decisions still have to be made about bringing communion to those members and how often they will be visited and by whom. Also how all of this will be tracked. The delivery of flowers was discussed. Kate will have names at the front desk for volunteers to deliver. Nancy Hamilton delivered four lilies on April 6 and Terri took two home this evening to deliver to neighbors. David s about meals, etc. was discussed. It was decided that if Kate or David had visited someone and they needed meals and had no built-in support group, the name could be referred to Congregational Care for follow-up. The schedule for the Directory was put on hold until 2016 or until other demands on Congregational Care were met. Because of all the items needing follow-up, we did not have enough time to discuss vision and goal-setting adequately. Ministry members will Bobbie their ideas in preparation for Session meeting. Kate suggested to have every member, starting with shut-ins and people with needs paired up with a shepherd from the congregation. This has been tried before and when the Ministry Moderator changed, the program was dropped. This kind of program, to be successful, will take a full-time manager. It was suggested that Kate provide the Ministry Team with a program that is working at another church our size and we will go (or not go) from there. It seems a gargantuan task in order for it run well. 5
6 Team members feel as if we managing a lot of cats and dogs and we need to define our goals very clearly and not take on jobs that are not under our umbrella. Next meeting will be May 5. Bobbie Brenton, Moderator Evangelism Terri Dannemann opened the meeting with prayer. Members present were John and Terri Dannemann, Jackie Weitzel, and Jean Reid, Moderator. Absent were Russ Brown, Peggy Damuth, John Hamilton, and Dot Pennypacker. OLD BUSINESS: Guidelines for Mentors of New Members were finalized as follows: Mentor will: 1. Provide a self-profile to facilitate a compatible match with the Prospective New Member. The self-profile will include the Service of Worship usually attended, Church Involvement, Family Members, Personal Interests, and Employment. (The Pastor or the Associate Pastor, with the recommendations of the leaders of the Believing and Belonging Class, will determine the match and contact the Mentor.) 2. Visit New Member, gathering information to be able to introduce them at Session Meeting. 3. Contact New Member at least monthly during the first 6 months (face-to-face or by telephone) to invite to activities at the church, answer questions, etc. 4. Report to Session about the assimilation of New Member after 3 months and after 6 months of membership. Jackie Weitzel gave a report on the design and costs of postcards to send new residents in the zone. There will be a picture of the church and general information about BPC, with Dr. Rollins telephone number as contact. Jackie will continue to compare cost options. Terri Dannemann gave a report on the Crosses for Classrooms Project. Guidelines adopted were: 1. Size: two options, 8 by 12 or 7 x Artisan includes a hanger. 3. Materials used by Artisan must be durable and safe. 4. Artisan will gift the cross. 5. Crosses will be Celtic or plain. Jean reported on information from Mary Hubbard about the Website. Squarespace has been recommended as a website that many churches use. We agreed that if necessary Evangelism could fund the $8 a month fee. NEW BUSINESS: In response to a request from Bob Baker, Stewardship Moderator, for Vision and Goals for the next 3-5 years - Long Term Goals: To call people everywhere to believe in and follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, inviting them into our community of faith to worship and serve the triune God Short Term Goals: To work with Education Ministry on New Member Class and assimilation To coordinate the Living Nativity for Community Outreach To extend invitations to our Worship Services to groups that meet at BPC, new homeowners in our area, and those that receive goods from our Food Pantry To support Pastors in planning Edna Etheridge Speaker Series The meeting was closed with prayer by Terri Dannemann. Jean Reid, Moderator Global Missions 6
7 Present were Bob Orcutt, Moderator, Mark Schreiber, and Doug Mitchell. Becky Wheeler was excused. The meeting was opened with prayer. Discussed the 5-year vision for the Ministry. After some discussion regarding the current list of long range proposed projects, Bob asked all members to provide any supplemental inputs to him and he will forward to Doug for discussion during the Session meeting. Regarding the upcoming mission trip to Ticul, Mexico, June, Bob has received info regarding the estimated funding for the trip. Flights will cost approximately $850 per person round trip. With lodging and meals added the cost of the trip will come to about $1,000 per person. Arrangements have been made for transportation from and returning to the airport. There are currently 8 people signed up for the trip which includes 2 youth. Water ministry: Thom Sare will be attending Clean Water University training in Mississippi beginning on 19 April. Bob is establishing networks for future mission trip installations. The next trip is tentatively planned in October 2015 to install a system in Nicaragua. Current giving opportunities for global mission work are Stop Hunger Now, Christmas Shoebox Donations, and the Stamp Collection via PEVA. The 4 Presbyterian Mission Offerings are: 1. One Great Hour of Sharing that runs from February 18 through April 5th. 2. Pentecost Offering that runs from April 6th thru May 24th. 3. Peace and Global Witness offering that runs from September 6th thru October 4th. 4. Christmas Joy Offering that runs from November 29th through December 20th. The One Great Hour of Sharing time period is complete and Rev. Rascoe is heading up the Pentecost Offering. Ministry members will volunteer to coordinate the remaining 2 offerings for this calendar year. It was noted that Judi Broocke is retiring, is planning a move, and is dealing with some dynamic family issues, and as such will not be able to continue work with the Ministry. Judi will be missed as we keep her in our thoughts and prayers. With no further business, the meeting was closed with prayer. Bob Orcutt, Moderator Property Members present: Bob Allen, Leslie Parr, Eugene Towler, Sperry Davis, Betsy Davis, Rob Spann, Ed Spillman and Steve Baker Committee reviewed and approved minutes from March meeting. Current projects and maintenance issues include: First estimates have been received for repairs in the sanctuary and for renovations to classroom #504 and the Prayer room. Working on getting quotes from Robert Hamner as well to compare all options. It was noted that hanging drywall on the cinder block walls would be less expensive than smooth coating with plaster. Discussed flooring options and would like to consider tile in these two rooms rather than carpet, consistent with other classrooms. Need to verify what is currently under the carpet; tile or concrete. Proposal to Session will be to convert the existing Prayer Room into a classroom. Discussed upcoming Session agenda to address Visions/Goals for the next 3-5 years. For the Property ministry this primarily consists of a long list of projects to repair, update or renovate the church facilities. Sidewalk repair, Parking lot repair and striping, stained glass repairs, speakers in the Narthex, to name a few. A long term goal that has yet to be captured is the update of the Sanctuary. Repairs last year for the floor were kept to a minimum, with the thought that it would be better to save the funds for a larger project to update / modernize the sanctuary, including moving the choir and organ down to the main floor. A project of this scope would need to be considered beyond the Property committee, to include Pastoral staff and members of Worship 7
8 at a minimum. It was noted that we need to develop a comprehensive list of projects that could be prioritized and updated as needed. A buyer has been found for the church van. Based on committee research into value we will offer the van for $750. Staining of interior trim on the new windows is ongoing. Discovered that there are multiple types of wood, which each absorb the stain differently making it more difficult to match existing woodwork. New quotes for carpet will be obtained due to the old quotes being outdated. Planning on three separate estimates. Adult wing, including library and Bride room, Preschool wing and Admin wing. Key Control was discussed as part of the security considerations being considered for the Church. Further discussion is required, but general plan would rekey all exterior doors in 3 zones; Front Entrance, adult wing and youth wing with master key for maintenance staff and members of property. Ideas for an updated building use policy would include deposits on keys signed out to groups requiring access outside normal operating hours. Requests/proposals from church membership: Cleaning pavers in the Columbarium. Ed Spillman is already working on sidewalks and will include the pavers. Establishment of a Community Garden. While the concept of a community garden sounds like a great idea, the proposal does not include enough detail to move forward at this time. A project like this would be a massive undertaking and there needs to be an identified workforce that will establish and then maintain the garden. Based on some feedback received, maintaining the garden once established would require about 100 volunteer hours per week. Some other questions include: Will the garden be raised beds of plowed rows? If plowed rows, soil preparation will be an arduous task requiring considerable manpower. Irrigation? Carting a 50 gallon drum between the church and garden is not considered a viable option. There are other alternatives, but some would increase cost, while the inexpensive options require more volunteer time. Discussed signage in the church. The idea of a building directory/legend will be revisited which could be placed at key locations around the building. Will also look into signs for the restrooms similar to the library. Meeting closed at 9:20 PM Steve Baker, Moderator Stewardship The Stewardship Ministry met in the Brides Room at 7:20 PM Present were Bob Baker, Moderator; Hugh Vaughan, Luanne Wong, Treasurer and Bill Warden. Bob Baker opened the meeting with prayer. We reviewed and discussed potential modifications to the following Policy papers: Bayside Stewardship Policy and Elements of Trip Policy We incorporated a proposed modification to the Trip Policy: Financial Rules, 4b ( extenuating circumstances may be considered. ) No other changes/additions/deletions have been proposed to date. We discussed potential Goals for the Stewardship ministry for the next 3-5 years: We considered increasing Benevolences and decided to establish a baseline for benevolences based upon the past budget years. We also considered exploring different Software packages that might offer some efficiencies for the Treasurer s Office. 8
9 We considered several names of potential speakers for the up- coning Stewardship Campaign. Additionally, we considered using Doug Baker s sermon, Living into Hope, as a source for ideas for the Campaign. Bill Warden noted that he has received affirmative replies from the major contributors to the Pipe Organ Fund in response to his letter requesting support for our proposed renaming of the Fund. We noted that the IRS has assigned an Arbitrator to review our request for a refund based on our 2010 tax return. We don t know when the review will take place. The meeting was closed with prayer at 9:30 PM. Bob Baker, Moderator Worship Attendants: Nancy Guy, Mary Jo Kennedy, Suzanne Hanley, Theresa Cipriano Absent: Janet Martin, Katie Grant, Judy Crossman, Dardy Long, Bernie Wallace, Marie Parr Theresa called the meeting to order with prayer for discernment. Discussions We were happy to see 395 attended the Easter Service. Having the entire congregation in the celebration was a true joy for everyone. We started with discussion of the policies and procedures for Funerals with a trifold being developed in conjunction with Community Care. There was discussion on the request for Goals to be set by Worship for the coming 3-5 years. It was agreed that our hopes and dreams were the same thing that we speak to every meeting: Raise attendance of existing members, reach new members and renovate the Sanctuary to accommodate moving the choir to the chancel area as well as screens and sound systems to accommodate a Contemporary Service in the Sanctuary. Much discussion ensued but no viable solutions were developed. We agreed that we would like to see 2 well attended services, one traditional and one Contemporary, as well as a better combination of the two different types of services on the first Sunday schedule. Theresa Cipriano closed the meeting with prayer. Theresa Cipriano, Moderator 9
