A Message from Rev. Wayne ...

Last year, I took advantage of a winter storm to reflect and write a message for our pastoralcharge’s Annual Report for 2013. Likewise, as I write for our 2014 Report, a storm rages outside

and most activities in the area have ground to a halt for today. The majordifference is that this is our first “real” storm of the winter - a far cry from lastyear’s reality. It reminds me that each year is different, bringing its ownchallenges and concerns - impossible to predict for the most part, but always anopportunity to grow as individuals and, perhaps more importantly, as faith-filledindividuals.

2014 has been similar to other years in that we have experienced the grief ofsaying farewell to loved ones; we have experienced the joy of welcoming childrenthrough baptism; and we have shared the joys of couples beginning a brand newlife together as they commit themselves to each other in marriage. All of these

are to be expected as we share our lives in the communities which make up our pastoral charge.What I find to be an exciting change within our various churches across the NL Conference - andindeed the whole of the United Church of Canada - is our growing realization that we are allconnected. Increasingly we are faced with the reality of the world becoming so much smaller - thatworld events impact even the tiniest of communities of faith. There was much discussion at the 41st

General Council about including the Mohawk phrase which translates as “All My Relations” into ourChurch crest. Every day the decision to do so seems much more important and faithful.

In 2012, the 41 General Council of our church formed the Comprehensive Review Task Forcest

with the mandate to involve the whole church in a process which would see major changes madeacross our church. In the words which have become the political slogan on a provincial level thisyear, “everything is on the table.” As I write, we are now only weeks away from hearing the TaskGroup recommendations which will be presented to the 42nd

General Council to be held in Corner Brook in August of this year.The only sure prediction is that tomorrow’s church will not be thesame church we have become so comfortable within. Please notethese words from our Moderator, the Right Reverend GaryPaterson: “This is a challenging time for the United Church –perhaps a bit scary, but also very exciting. It’s probably nocoincidence that the theme that has emerged for the 42ndGeneral Council comes from the last few pages of the Biblicalstory, Revelation 21:5. The text – “Behold, I make all things new!”is a reminder that all creation is in a constant process of change; that the church is always beingreformed, called into new ways of being; and that God is at the very heart of this transformation.We are not alone.”

These are, indeed, exciting times - and we are called to a time of trust and vision. While we maynot always feel a close connection with the larger church, we are on the verge of a major changeon all levels which will see even the smallest pastoral charges impacted.

Again, on behalf of Hertha and myself, I thank you for your continued support and love. I pray thatthe mystery of the unknown will continue to guide us into the future together.

In Christ’s love,

Rev. Wayne

Session Annual Report

Salmon Cove - Perry’s Cove Pastoral Charge, under the guidance andleadership of Rev. Wayne and Hertha Blackwood, has continued tobring spiritual growth to our congregations.

Rev. Wayne completed his term as President of Conference in June of2014, and will continue in his role as Past-President until June of 2015.

Communion was served on a monthly basis with the assistance ofmembers of Session.

Session opted to have one service each week of Lent again this year. Musical guestsperformed and were enjoyed by those who attended. There were no services during HolyWeek with the exception of Good Friday. There were only two services on Easter Sundaythis year, instead of three, making it less hectic for both congregations.

Our church groups, ie: the UCW’s, Mens’ Fellowship, junior and senior choirs and musicgroup, continued to bring joy and enrichment to our services. The pre-service music by theyouth of our Riverside congregation also continued and was a joy to watch. Several UCWmembers from both congregations attended the retreat at Burry Heights. As well, severalmembers of our congregation attended the dinner & worship with the Moderator, the RightRev. Gary Paterson, at Clarke’s Beach United in October.

Rev. Wayne’s vacation and conference work absences were covered by the various churchgroups and lay readers of our congregation, with the exception of one lay reader fromoutside our congregation. A very sincere thank you is extended to all of them. Again thisyear, during Rev. Wayne’s absences, there was a joint service held each Sunday.

Vacation Bible School was held again this year. It took place in Perry’s Cove because ofongoing renovations at Riverside Church. Thank you to Perry’sCove Church for the use of their hall. Many thanks go out to theSalmon Cove UCW, Perry’s Cove UCW and Mens’ Fellowship forproviding meals. Thanks, also, to the youth leaders for their hardwork and dedication to our children.

The Faith Formation and Christian Education committee continuedits work and did a wonderful job of organizing the second annual“Welcome Back To Church” Sunday in September at Perry’s CoveChurch. Members from both congregations enjoyed worship,games and a barbeque. It was a relaxing and fun morning for both children and adultsalike. Thank you to the committee for their hard work.

Riverside Sunday School continues to use the “GodlyPlay” curriculum. There were also several presentationsof “Godly Play” to the congregation and it appears tohave gone over well.

There were two Food Bank Sundays again this year,which were very successful. As well, the VBS serviceproject donated breakfast food items to the breakfastprogram at Persalvic School. The gifts at the White Giftservice were donated to O’Shaunessy House.

Florence Rose and Betty King are now responsible for getting scripture reading coveragefor services at their respective churches.

It has been decided that Music Night will now take place once per month at alternatingchurches. This decision will be revisited again next year.

Christmas Eve service times were changed this year. Services were at 5 pm and 7 pm atalternate churches. This decision will be revisited again in two years, once both churcheshave had the opportunity to have a service at both times.

Our pastoral charge continues to grow, following a busy, but successful spiritual year. Letus give thanks and praise to God, that He will help guide us as we continue on our journey.

CHURCH PROPERTIES COMMITTEE

ROOF & TOWER REPAIRIn January, high winds caused the main entrance door to blow open, causing damage to thedoor frame. As well, several shingles blew off the roof during this storm. At a congregationalmeeting it was agreed that the tower could be removed if necessary. Several contractors hadbeen contacted to do the work, however none were willing to do it.

In June, Cory Taylor of Marco Construction agreed to repair the tower for $2,612.00. This workwas completed in July. Marco also repaired the damage to the roof during this time - at noadditional cost.

WINDOW REPLACEMENTSIn the past year, 12 windows have been replaced in the church and 4 more are on order. Thetwo stained glass windows were removed from the old window frames and installed in the wallbehind the choir.

KITCHEN RENOVATION A Government Grant for $43,352.00 was received to renovate the kitchen. This was a fourteenweek project that saw some great improvements. The majority of the grant was used for payrollexpenses for five employees. Approximately 25% of the grant was available for overhead costs.

REAR ENTRANCE RENOVATION Another Grant for $3,000.00 was received to replace the rear entrance to the basement and toupgrade the stairs and hallway leading up to the sanctuary. Most of this work was done byvolunteers. Volunteers also removed the carpet from the main entrance and replaced it with avinyl tile.

SUMMER STUDENT GRANTWe had a student grant this summer for 8 weeks. The student did excellent work plastering andpainting inside and outside of the church.

CEMETERY CLEANUPIn June, several members of the congregation gathered in the cemetery to help clean up thearea. Several bags of garbage (mainly plastic flowers) were picked up and disposed of. It isimportant that anyone who places flowers in the cemetery, remove them in the Fall. Twenty-onegraves were refurbished with topsail and then reseeded.

Clay Oates Lawn Care was contracted to cut the grass in the cemetery when necessary.

NEW LIGHTINGSeveral members of our congregations were experiencing difficulty reading during eveningservices. As a result, all of the light bulbs were replaced with brighter energy saving bulbs, bothupstairs and in the basement.

In February we hosted a Valentine’s Party for our Sunday School children.

In April we invited the UCW groups from the surrounding area to a Friendship Night ofworship, entertainment and lunch.

During the year, and on request, we catered a reception to families and friends followingthe funeral of a loved one.

With the help of a Quilting Plus lady we hung new drapes to thestage in the church hall.

Our Sick and Visitation Committee had a busy year as well. Theymade numerous visits to the sick, shut-ins and those in mourning.They delivered many birthday, sympathy, and get well cards, as well as Christmas giftsto the shut-ins.

During the year our Program Convenor, with the help of other members, prepared anddelivered several worship programs .

The Decorating Convenor had our church appropriately decorated to reflect the differentseasons and celebrations of the church year.

Our Outreach Committee collected funds at each meeting during the year. In Decemberthey purchased household items and delivered them to Emmanuel House in St. John’s.

The Social Convenor had a very busy year, but, with our President and members’ help,she got through all the suppers and lunches - a job well done.

During the year several members attended two United Church Women Presidents’meetings, AGM’s, and our Annual Retreat at Burry Heights.

During 2014 our UCW held six fundraisers:• Afternoon Tea and Bake Sale in March• Cold Plate Take-out in May• Wake-a-Thon in June (designated project for new chairs)• Thanksgiving Jigg’s Dinner in October• Our first Loonie/Toonie Night in October• Fall Sale and Cold Plate Take-out in November

With monies raised from these events we:• forwarded the UCW assessment of $10.00 per member to East District• met our Mission and Service Fund objective for the year

18

• enabled the Board of Management to purchase new chairs for the hall• donated a new window for the Riverside sanctuary• met our budgeted amount for local expenses of the

congregation• met our budgeted amount for pastoral charge expenses

The particulars of our various financial donations can be found in our2014 Financial Report.

Under the leadership of our President, Margaret Clarke, we surpassed ourexpectations both spiritually and financially. We celebrated in Decemberwith a Pot Luck Christmas Dinner and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Many thanks to the congregation and the general public for your continued support overthe past year. Without your support we cannot do what we do.

Items from Stella’s CircleChristmas Wish List were selected and purchased. These included small appliances(toaster & mixer) as well as dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Various bedding items,personal care items, and clothing were also purchased. These items were personallydelivered to Emmanuel House and the staff expressed their appreciation. Thank you somuch to our UCW group for its continued support.

SICK & VISITATION REPORT

The Sick and Visitation Committee consisted of three members in 2014: Isabelle Cole,Lorna Garland and Marilyn Homer. The work of this committee involves the following:

• distributing birthday cards to and visiting the ladies of the congregation whoare 80 years of age or older

• visiting, on a regular basis, the sick and shut-ins and members of thecongregation who are in seniors’ residences or nursing homes

• distributing Christmas cards and gifts to the sick and shut-ins; • paying our respects with a visit and a sympathy card to members of the

congregation during the death of a loved one• paying tribute to deceased ladies of the congregation by placing a rose on

the casket/urn at the funeral service• presenting a report on our activities at each of our monthly meetings

During 2014 we sent out 26 birthday cards, 20 get well cards, and 17 sympathy cards.We made 49 visits including on the occasion of birthdays, funeral, sickness and regularvisits. At Christmas time we made 25 visits distributing Christmas cards and gifts.Tributes were paid to 3 deceased ladies of the congregation with a rose.

The committee thanks Stella Parsons and Marg Clarke for helping with our Christmasvisits.

We have been a busy committee throughout the past year. However, it has been veryrewarding to be given this opportunity to spend some time with the elderly, the sick andthe shut-ins of the congregation. It has also been a pleasure to celebrate with thoseladies 80 years of age or older on their birthdays. It is our prayer that our efforts have, insome way, touched the live of those we have visited in a meaningful way.

PROPERTIES COMMITTEE

This past year has not been a very eventful one, although somethings were accomplished, ie: the road in the new cemetery hasbeen upgraded and a basement window was caulked.

Our efforts to seal leaks in the window near the bathroom , andalso the leak from the bell tower, have been in vain.

Plans have been made to re-shingle the roof next summer andfundraising has already begun. The bell tower situation will beaddressed at the same time.

Estimates have been called for and three have been received from:

(1) MJ Roofing, Gull Island

(2) Cull Contracting, Victoria

(3) Todd Oliver, Gull Island

All three have come in at approximately $9.000.00. I have been advised that two layers of shinglesmay have to be removed from the roof first. This would increase the cost of the project accordingly.I understand that grant money may be available from the national church on a dollar for dollar basisup to a maximum of $5000.00 With this, and with congregational donations, UCW donation andmoney on hand, we should be able to complete this project.

Our cemetery road is half decent now but we will need some topsoil to fill in along the edge nextspring. Registration of the cemetery property should be completed as promised before the end of2014. This piece of work has been with the lawyers for a much longer time than anticipated.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for their valued input and assistanceover the past year.
