Annual Meeting Bake Sale/Auction Birthdays From the Pastor IN THIS ISSUE Kroger Rewards Program Ministry of Outreach & Mission Prayer List Women s Self-Defense Class FROM THE PASTOR It is truly a wonderful time to be part of the Church. At our semi-annual meeting last month, I was thrilled with the excitement of new possibilities being discussed by so many of you. In fact, I have a list on my desk of creative ideas we can begin to discuss and implement. I am also interested in hearing about some of the traditions that you feel are vital to our ministry. When I answered the call to work in ministry at this church, I knew it wouldn t be easy. However, the potential that we have to impact this community and those around the world is enormous. I have never witnessed so much possibility with such an amazing group of individuals. Therefore, I will give you all that I can, and together we can do amazing work for God s kingdom. As we move forward this year, my prayer is that we will grow together spiritually as we open ourselves up to new adventures. My door is always open for your ideas, suggestions, and comments. May we keep in step with the Spirit. Blessings, Rev. Kim

I would like to thank everyone who joined us after worship on Sunday, February 24 for our 190th Annual Meeting. It was well attended; those of you who were not able to join us, know you were missed. We reviewed quite a lot of information and had very engaging and open discussion. It was difficult and somewhat scary at times, but the conversation was authentic, and in my opinion, well received. We are very excited and still committed to our success as a church family, but know that change is needed and courage required. While I can't go into every detail, I would like to share the key decisions and a summary of the discussion that occurred. We reviewed our 2018 actuals and 2019 proposed budget. While we ended more positive than budgeted in 2018, we still had a deficit. We also see a continuing trend of reduced income in 2019 and therefore project a larger deficit in To address this, we discussed and formally agreed to allocate funds from the sale of the church home to cover these deficits. This is exciting as it enables us to not worry about where the coverage will come from this year. As part of the 2019 budget, we also discussed and formally agreed to bring Pastor Kim on as a full-time minister. This is key in enabling the change and growth within our congregation and our outreach into the local community. We are blessed to have her as part of our family and look forward to engaging in some new and exciting opportunities. We also agreed to give our staff a long-overdue increase. They are a valuable part of our daily ministry and are very deserving of this small recognition. Finally, as least as far as the budget is concerned, we agreed to use available funds from our Investment Fund and the remaining amount in our Boiler Fund to pay off the boiler loan. This will free us from any further interest and release us from our only debt; a good position for us to be in. Now for some of the open discussions... Our church is in an old, historic building. While its beautiful and has been a church home to us for many, many years, it's been very difficult for us to effectively maintain and absorb the costs within our current income. We do what we can, not necessarily what we should. Given this, we agreed to investigate a couple of opportunities. First, we will continue to look for alternative uses for our building. This could be renting more space, partnering with another organization or church, or using space for more outreach programs. We also want to begin to investigate the 'possibility' of a sale so we understand the value and work that would be required. Again, there has been no decision to take this path, but it is something that we need to be aware of. We also talked about membership and received input from our new family members on how they see membership. In this changing world and right here in our faith community, the old
3 norms are no longer valid. That doesn't mean they haven't had their place, but they no longer feed the new generations nor encourage others to want to participate in a faith community. As a result, we are going to continue to discuss opportunities to change our membership practices, while still protecting the sanctity of our faith community. If you have an interest in being a part of this discussion, please let us know. And then finally, we had open discussion about new mission and outreach opportunities. What's key here though is that we are not just looking for ideas; we're looking for people with the passion to take on these ideas and make them a reality. We are also interested in knowing what the needs are within our own community, and welcome anyone that has an interest to reach out and investigate, and help us identify where are next focus may lead us. You are all a blessing. We appreciate what you do and bring to us, no matter how big or small. But, we also know that change is needed, and we can't do it alone. Every one of us has something more to offer, whether it be money, more time, a skill, or who knows what. Please join us as we continue our journey, here in the heart of Romeo, where faith and compassion meet! Rob Butz, Moderator on behalf of your Ministry Council MINISTRY of OUTREACH and MISSION EMERGENCY CLEANUP BUCKETS Due to the many natural disasters that have occurred in recent months here in the U.S. as well as around the globe, there is a desperate need right now for Church World Service Emergency Cleanup Buckets.
