TIME FOR A HUDDLE

Imagine another world looking down at 60,000 people who pay $900,000 to sit in a stadium that cost $45 million to watch 22 men being paid millions a year dispute the possession of a ball that costs $16.95. One can only imagine what they would think? Imagine a football game without a huddle? It might work for awhile, but pretty soon no one would really understand what play is coming next. Huddles are important. They don’t go on forever. They happen while the game is taking place so that a strategy can be implemented to insure progress, forward momentum, and success. Huddles are essential. Right now First Presbyterian is taking time out for a huddle as we re-evaluate staffing in the area of youth ministry. This evaluation process influences other things that we do because our former Associate Pastor, Chris Benek, did more than just youth ministry. In the huddle, there are some guiding principles that we need to affirm as we move forward. First of all, our strategy must always glorify God. Secondly, we need to grow our outreach, particularly in the area of youth ministry. Thirdly, we need to continue to grow our congregation. Finally, we need to grow our stewardship and lower our financial dependence on the Mikesell Trust. With these principles in mind, our planning time in the huddle is most important. These are not small decisions, but big decisions as they affect our youth and the direction of our overall ministry for some time to come. First of all, we need to come up with a plan that will grow our outreach to the glory of God, particularly to youth. We need your prayers and your input in this area. A survey is coming out in the February Link that will ask your opinion in this area. Please fill it out when it comes to your home, sign it, and get it back to the church office no later than Sunday, February 20th. If you would like to express your thoughts individually indicate that on the survey and the Session will try its best to accommodate your desire. On Saturday, February 27, the Session is having a planning retreat to discuss long range leadership in the area of youth. What type of person are we looking for in this position? What would be the scope of this new position? What is the time frame to accomplish it? We need your prayers as we are in the huddle. Our youth are vitally important to the ongoing growth and health of this congregation. I want to thank those people who are currently giving of their time and expertise to keep our youth ministry moving ahead. Special thanks should be given to the youth, Dan Hawley, Patti Jetter, George and Becky Luce, Tracy and Bob Wheeler, Barry Hounshell, and Frank Gilmore. Secondly we need to grow our congregation to the glory of God. We need your continued help in this matter. We need to further connect our congregation together, particularly in the areas of small groups, worship and service.

Our “One Month to Live” small groups in October and November underscored the advantages of being connected with one another in study, prayer, and fellowship. Increased attendance in worship is a goal for all of us to strive for in the church. Worship glorifies God and strengthens us spiritually so that we can do the ministry God calls us to do. When we serve alongside one another, we grow in friendship and we appreciate one another’s gifts and talents. We need to take personal responsibility of growing our church by inviting others to First Presbyterian. This effort will help grow the church, whether it’s inviting friends to worship, to scheduled fellowship events, to Logos, to youth events, or to our small groups. We need to grow our church intentionally through our equipping and training events which further develop lay leadership. I appreciate those who have volunteered to serve as liturgists and readers in worship, as members of our youth task force, as Christian education volunteers, and as Stephen Ministers and officers. I’d like to further grow those men and women who would like to be in a lay preacher’s training group and learn how to preach. Everyone is needed in our church to make it grow and everyone has a gift to be shared that will build our ministry. But finally, we need to grow our stewardship at First Presbyterian and lessen our dependence on the Mikesell Trust for our operating budget and its mission. Let me say a big thank you to the congregation for your generous financial support in 2009. What an accomplishment to end this year in the black with the help of the Lord. Appreciation also needs to be expressed to the Finance Committee led by Elder Barry Hounshell and our able Treasurer, Sue Bowman. To grow our stewardship base and lower our dependence on the Mikesell Trust, we need to grow our membership, search our own hearts to increase our giving by 1%, and keep our operational expenses in line as a congregation. As we do these things, our Mikesell Trust will have a chance to grow so that we can fund new mission outside our operational budget in the future. This will not happen overnight, but it can happen. The huddle is important as we plan for the future. Thanks to all of you for being on the playing field and to our able staff at the church: Marnelise van der Walt, Marilyn Light, Terri Fryman, Sue Bowman, Carrie Schenecker, Carl Trittschuh, Dan Hawley, and Herb Stentzel. Let us continue to do our part as we grow our outreach, particularly to our youth; as we grow our congregation; as we grow our stewardship; as we most importantly, glorify God with our lives and ministry.

Think and act upon it.

Partners in faith,

Pastor John

2009 Deacons Annual Report

The slate of officers for 2009 was as follows: Co-Presidents: Kathy Lockhart and LaJeanne Riegle Vice President: Donn Thornhill Secretary: Lauren Henry Treasurer: Chris Hayes/Becky Luce The Deacon’s held their monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month in the chapel beginning @ 7:00pm. A special Deacons meeting was held with Session on Feb. 13, 2009 to iron out the usher/greeter changes. After a few Sunday morning committee meetings –Jan Boyer took over the responsibility of lining up ushers/greeters for the entire year. A huge clarification (about usher/greeter responsibilities ) was written up in a report form making it much easier to follow—thanks to all those serving in that effort. In April and December of 2009, the Deacons enlisted the participation of the entire congregation to obtain clothing and toys for the Greenville Head Start Preschool Program. With both projects a total of 66 children were helped. Also, in both of these months, quarters were given to the residents of the Darke County Home, making their Easter and Christmas holidays a bit more bright. At Christmas, in addition to the quarter donation, personal care items were also collected and delivered to the county home. 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. Pastor Chris Benek again encouraged the Deacons to continue the effort of welcoming visitors to our church. Additional “welcome bags” were compiled along with a small lapel pin (rose) and ongoing discussion about a bread patrol possibility—Jan Boyer is in charge of this. Throughout 2009 many monetary donations were given. Meals on Wheels; Grace Community Center; YMCA Men’s Basketball Sponsorship; Fish and Community Unity; Toys for Tykes & Young Teens; Main Street Church Stroll; Both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Donations to name a few. In addition to all of the above mentioned causes we gave out money for community requests after having been cleared through Jobs & Family Services. Our Fall Fundraiser was the MUM’s THE WORD project—chaired by Deacon Donn Thornhill. The Deacons sold 76 fall mums which were bought from the North Star Greenhouse. After expenses, a profit of $266.00 was made. A Candlelight Stroll sponsored by Downtown Greenville, and hosted by the Deacons, opened the church to visitors touring the churches in downtown Greenville. A total of 30 people toured our

10

church and were informed of our youth activities and additional programs provided by our church. It was a very rainy night thus our attendance was down compared to last year. The Deacons, along with other volunteers from our congregation, participated in bell ringing for our community. The Deacons solicit donations from the congregation for the “peanut butter and jelly” project for Community Unity as well as food items for FISH; 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; and give additional visitation to church members in nursing homes or those who are homebound. The entire roster of Deacon participants for 2009 are as follows: Danielle Bankson, Gail Bankson, Virginia Bertram,Haley Bowman, Jan Boyer, Jan DeMuth, Anna Lee Dickerson, Chris Hayes, Karen Henninger, Lauren Henry, Kathy Lockhart, Becky Luce, Anne McKinney, LaJeanne Riegle, Matt Schenecker, and Donn Thornhill. We had a great group who accomplished many important missions for the First Presbyterian Church of Greenville, Ohio. A huge thank you goes out to all of the 2009 DEACONS!

Christian Education Committee – 2009 Members: Chip Caldwell (Elder) Helen Miller, Patti Jetter, Ginny Bertram, Marnelise van der Walt, Pastor Chris Benek, Beverly Shively, Jan Boyer, Holly Finnarn – Sunday School Supt. and Bill Funderburg – Christian Education Chairman Logos Program –The Logos program consists of Bible studies, crafts, snacks, music and games. Marnelise van der Walt is the director. Beth Vehre, Mary Ann Caldwell, Lisa Frens, and Toni Heggie served as classroom teachers for children between the ages 3 through 12. Karen Henninger directed the Logos Choir and Ginny Bertram led the crafts and games. This program is attended by some children who are not directly affiliated with our church family. Marnelise has continued to be very enthusiastic and uplifting to all involved. I’m sure she would want to tell you how much she appreciates all the volunteers (teachers, cooks, table parents, presenters, recreation helpers) who help with the program each Wednesday night. The LOGOS No Bake Sale raised $425.00. 2009 V.B.S. Vacation Bible School was held in July. The theme was “Gadgets Garage”. We combined our efforts to teach gospel concepts with St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Again many volunteers from both churches helped to make this program a success with singing, Bible studies, games, snacks, crafts, and fun.

Various Activities of Church Members

1. Senior High Easter Sun Rise Service is always a highlight of the year. 2. Children’s participation in the Christmas Eve Service. 3. Sunday School Certificates were given to all Sunday School Teachers. 4. Volunteers have done a great job in the Children’s Sermons on Sunday Mornings.

Kindergarten/Sixth Sunday School Classes - Holly Finnarn, Helen Miller, Ginny Bertram, Margaret Hayes, and Anne McKinney are the teachers for these classes. They do a great job teaching Bible verses and engaging the children in various Christian activities. Junior High Sunday School Class –Patti Jetter teaches this class. She reported six to ten people in attendance on Sunday mornings. She is a great teacher and loves to teach the class. Senior High Sunday School Class – Once again George and Becky Luce teach this class and relate to the students very well. This is a very important age and attendance is good. Many college age students attend this class when home on breaks. Encouragers Sunday School Class – Don Boyer continues to lead a very successful Bible Study Class. His class chose to have class through the summer ( a good sign of class success.) Up Stairs Adult Sunday School Class – Bill and Carol Funderburg lead this class. They have studied the books of Exodus and I Corinthians. Bible Study and reading with informal discussion with lots of laughs describes this class. Wednesday Bible Study- Pastor John Person continues to have a very well attended Bible Study on Wednesday mornings. Bible reading with informal discussion has made this a successful and rewarding time for all who attend. The class is a highlight of our church with members coming together, having fun and learning in a Christian setting. Wednesday Night Jam – This is a Junior High Program led by Pastor Chris Benek, Patti Jetter, and Dan Hawley. This is a high energy program for youth with games, fellowship, food, outings and fun in a Christian setting. Many community youth who have no other ties to our church are regular attendees of this program. Adult Small Groups – Some 90+ participants in seven groups attended these sessions. The book “One month to Live” written by Chris and Kerry Shook was the focus of discussion. Respectfully submitted, Bill Funderburg and Chip Caldwell

Parish Life 2009

The duties of the Parish Life Committee are to prepare and organize meals for various church outings, meetings and work days. Parish Life also seeks to encourage fellowship activities within the church and to identify and welcome visitors and new members and help them get acquainted with our church family. Parish Life continued a third Summer Lunch program to benefit underprivileged kids in our church neighborhood. Fifteen dedicated volunteers prepared nutritious & fun meals for the kids in attendance. Ginny Bertram organized game / Christian Ed. time that followed each meal. Kelly Hounshell and Lisa Frens co-organized the meals. Attendance was up from last year and we will evaluate whether to continue the program for summer 2010. The committee has continued the Caring Cooks program with 15 volunteers who provide meals for families with new babies, special health needs, or otherwise needing Christian love and assistance. This year approximately 35 meals were provided. Needs for meals are communicated through Pastor John or through the church office. The Sunday morning pre-service coffee, tea, and hot chocolate has again been taken care of by Jan Boyer & Beth Vehre and is much enjoyed by the congregation.

14

Parish Life also continues to solicit volunteers for the Fellowship Hour following church service. Many have volunteered for this ministry which provides a time for conversation and fellowship for members, friends, and visitors alike. Coffee punch and donuts are provided by volunteer hosts. Parish Life also organizes meals for various church activities such as Officer Appreciation Luncheon, Session Supper to recognize new members and confirmation class families, Stewardship Dinner in November, and Hanging of the Greens luncheon in December. This year we provided a “Farewell Dinner” for Chris & Jeannelle Benek in December with 150 in attendance. Respectfully submitted, Carol Funderburg,

Chancel Choir Report – 2009

This was a very busy year for the Chancel choir. Besides preparing a weekly anthem, we also presented an Easter Cantata entitled “Once Upon a Tree.” It featured soloists as main characters in the story and also the acting ability of Randy Tester as Luke.

The choir also invited men from the congregation to join them for the annual Men’s choir for Mothers Day.

Once again we combined with the Methodist Church to sing two numbers at each of our churches in May. We all agree that it is a rewarding experience for singers and congregations, alike.

We are blessed to have Darrell Fryman, Jane Tester, Brad Hare, and Don Lockhart to add to our accompaniments.

Property & Maintenance Committee Report 2009

The plugging of a deteriorated cast iron sanitary sewer line below the basement youth room floor a long with the expenses for clean up, replacement of the pipe, and restoration of the floor and walls occupied much of August and September.

Personnel Committee 2009 The Personnel Committee assisted by Pastor John met several times during 2009 to discuss various issues. An annual staff performance review was given to all staff members. A personnel committee member, a session committee chair person, and Pastor John conducted each review with a report given to Session. This year a policy granting a leave of absence without pay for full time staff who work over 32 hours per week was established. This was then approved by the Session. The resignation of Rev.

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 video 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 are also supported by this ministry. 2009 in Review All aspects of the Media Team are functional and approximately 98% of Worship was recorded with excellent equipment operation. There are no plans in 2010 to upgrade or replace any equipment. However there will be discussions with our Audio/Visual suppliers about remote mics, and new screens in the media room if required. Respectfully submitted, Matt B. Schenecker

Presbyterian Women – 2009

The Presbyterian Women continued having “Tuesday Gals” dinners each month in 2009. We have enjoyed a variety of dinners, but we especially enjoy the Christian fellowship of each other. The dinners are held the second Tuesday of each month, with the ladies having a birthday in that particular month hosting (or choosing) the dinner. We invite any and all ladies of the church to join us. Watch the bulletins and newsletters for details.

What a lovely way to get to know each other better! The PW purchased a new cart for the kitchen to replace a broken one. The Sewing Circle made lap robes and bibs for the VA Hospital this year. Funeral dinners were prepared for the families and friends of True Westfall and Robert Wallace.

Please join us. Everyone is welcome!
