FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING
Minutes taken on January 31, 2010
The Fourth Annual Meeting was called to order at 12:08 p.m. by Superintendent Mark Galloway.
Sixty three members of the Church of The Apostles were present.
Elder Nina Deuel led the group in prayer and Superintendent Galloway read the Necrology.
Treasurer Bob Bickerstaff Financial Report for 2009 and 2010 Budget:
Treasurer Bob Bickerstaff reviewed the 2009 Financial Summary Report. We began the year with
$12,889.06 and ended 2009 with a balance of $32,129.72. The General Operating Fund started the year
with a deficit of $7,101.35 and ended 2009 with a deficit of $227.08. A complete review of the
breakdown of the 2009 budget was given, noting that it showed God at work in our midst.
Treasurer Bickerstaff reviewed the 2010 Operating Budget figures of a total income of $365,000.00 and
expenditures of $364,739.00. The Treasurer pointed out two new line items for 2010:
Leadership/Continuing Education & Youth Minister Savings. The Russell Snow bequest in the amount of
$85,240.49 was explained in detail as follows: 10% of the total bequest will be tithed to Outreach,
$10,000.00 to be applied to the principal of our mortgage which will be refinanced at a lower rate,
$45,000.00 will be used for the Youth Ministry Fund, $1,225.00 will be used to pay the sewer loan and
the balance after any expenses to the Capital Reserve Savings Fund.
The Treasurer asked for questions on any of the items reviewed and thanked the parishioners for their
attention.
Chairwoman Elect Beth Sexton Opened the Canterbury Mission Society Meeting at 12:35 p.m.
Bob Bickerstaff explained that Canterbury Mission Society is a separate corporation from Church of The
Apostles and owns the Church property even though the mortgage is paid by Church of The Apostles.
Plans are underway to transfer the title from Canterbury Mission Society to Church of The Apostles. The
Treasurer also reviewed the Canterbury Mission Society 2009 Activities and Financial Report and stated
that the Mission did not take in or spend much money. New funding may be required in the future.
Outgoing Chairman Harry Sacchetti:
Harry Sacchetti announced that Beth Sexton has been appointed Chairwoman of the Canterbury Mission
Society as of January 31, 2010 and Donna Tyler and Diane Sacchetti have been appointed Directors.
Both Harry Sacchetti and Beth Sexton praised Jodi Antonelli for her dedication, insight and wisdom
during her term as Director. Beth Sexton praised Harry Sacchetti for his hard work and dedication during
his term as Chairman.
Pastoral Assistant Roberta Tvenstrup:
Pastoral Assistant Tvenstrup gave all glory to God and praise for five years of continuous Christian based
counseling and intervention. Pastoral Assistant Tvenstrup may be contacted either at home or through the
Church office. Superintendent Galloway thanked Roberta for her invaluable behind the scenes service.
Youth Minister Roger Hall:
Reported that the Youth Group is great to work with and are willing to try new ideas. Lots of individual
growth has taken place this year which will help to put the pieces together for the rest of their lives. They
are all looking forward to their summer trip. Superintendent Galloway praised Roger and Cindy Hall for
their many years of working with young people.
1.
First Diaconal Minister Tom Bourn:
Stated that he was originally uncomfortable in his role and then realized that God does not want us to be
comfortable. Tom said that it is his responsibility to move Evangelism along and is looking forward to
what God will lead him into next.
Deacon Bill Sexton:
Stated that it is a pleasure to represent a caring and loving church while visiting the sick and shut-in
members of the parish. Bill also commented that it is a blessing to witness 20 plus at the Men‟s Breakfast
on Saturdays. Both food and discussion are wonderful and hopefully 2010 will be the same. Deacon
Sexton also thanked the Elders and Deacons for their work in 2009.
Deacon Cathy Morgan:
Deacon Morgan reported that the Outreach Committee has been very busy. It is a program where we
have actually touched people‟s lives not just given money. Deacon Morgan said God is talking to us
every day and asked the congregation to listen to what our Lord is telling us to do.
Deacon Rob Geoffrey:
Deacon Geoffrey stated that God has given us a blessing in our property which is our home base of
ministry and we must use it to reach out to the Christian community. Heaven will not have Temples or
Church buildings, the Temple will be the body of Christ and we will be living stones as members. It is
time to give God glory for his work in our Church.
Deacon Kathy Kettle:
Deacon Kettle thanked the congregation for their love and fellowship and thanked Barbara Bickerstaff
and Barbara Battey for all their work. The Council was acknowledged for their one mission to share the
Gospel. Deacon Kettle explained her job as Stewardship Minister, spoke about the Truth Project which
will be a perpetual project and mentioned that our web site will be overhauled and a new pamphlet on our
ministries is in the works.
Elder Emeritus Conrad Ruppert Jr:
Elder Emeritus Conrad spoke of a year of transition as he made the difficult decision to step down from
active duty as a church Elder due to his busy work schedule. He is encouraged by the strength and
growth of our Church and the way new people stand up and take charge in roles of leadership and said
that God wants everyone to be actively involved.
Elder Nina Deuel:
Elder Deuel encouraged everyone to read the Bible and study the Word of God. Elder Deuel spoke about
the various Bible study and prayer groups offered at Church of The Apostles and asked the congregation
to pray for each other and for the Church.
Elder Chad Tvenstrup:
Elder Tvenstrup explained that he became the Ranking Elder when Rick Bonin resigned and stated that he
is excited to serve in this new capacity. Elder Tvenstrup is encouraged by our spiritual growth and
commitment and excited by the plethora of our outreach projects and lay ministry. Personal thanks were
extended to the congregation and thanks were given to God for our Christian Education program and VBS
volunteers. The congregation was asked to continue to pray for our leadership, Deacons and Elders
during these trying times.
Superintendent Mark Galloway: *Superintendent Galloway thanked everyone for attending and spoke about the Bonin family‟s departure
from Church of The Apostles. Rick was a very faithful, invaluable and lovable member of the Church
and the congregation was asked to pray that the Holy Spirit is in their lives.
*Due to Rick Bonin‟s departure there was an opening in the Eldership and Rob Geoffrey was elected to
that position at the December Council Meeting.
2.
*As a result of Rob Geoffrey‟s Eldership election there is an opening in the Diaconate and the Council &
congregation was asked to pray about that position.
*Superintendent Galloway spoke about calling a Youth Minister to reach the young generation and asked
the congregation for prayers concerning this position.
*A Wellness Ministry staff position will be discussed at the next Council Meeting.
*Announced that Mark Tellier began online seminary work at Trinity School for Ministry and stated that
the next generation of ministers will come from our congregation.
*Spoke to Bishop Don Harvey regarding the possibility of Church of The Apostles‟ affinity with the
Anglican Church of North America and asked the congregation to pray about this.
*Reported that the 9:30 a.m. service continues to grow.
*Superintendent Galloway stated that we are in wonderful health compared to other congregations around
us and we must continue to think out of the box.
*Gratitude was extended for parishioner‟s constant support and love.

Respectfully submitted by,
Susan L. Farrell, Clerk

I want to begin this report by once again thanking all of you who have made me feel so welcome during
the last 6 months as I‟ve begun this journey with you at Church of The Apostles. It truly has been a
blessing to be part of this community.
One of the many strengths of Church of The Apostles is its steadfast commitment to sound Biblical
preaching and teaching, and this commitment is reflected in the education programs we offer on a weekly
basis. In Acts 2:42 we read that members first church “devoted themselves to the apostles‟ teaching and
fellowship, sharing in the Lord‟s Supper and in prayer.” We have seen all of these things in abundance in
the life of the church here and for that we are all richly blessed.
2010 brought about a few changes at Church of The Apostles, including my own entrance as Minister of
Christian Education here as well as changes to the Sunday morning schedule. The Sunday following
Labor Day Weekend we began a new schedule. The two Sunday morning services now begin at 8 and
10:30 and our Christian Education offerings in between the two services beginning at 9:15. This has
proven to be quite a beneficial change as it has served as a bridge between the two services and offered
more flexibility for parents and teachers alike.
Aside from the time change, the 2010 Christian Education programs themselves have remained relatively
unchanged from the previous year. The younger children in the Little Lights and Followers classrooms
continue to learn about heroes of the faith and traditional Bible stories (utilizing the three year curriculum
designed by Karen Welser). The Ambassadors class has been learning about what we believe as Anglican
Christians utilizing Bible memorization and the study of Scripture as it relates to topics such as the Holy
Trinity and the Creeds. We have added a new teacher to the Workers classroom, Duenna Karner, and
together she and Roger Hall have been leading studies on both the Old and New Testaments and their
meaning for us today. The Disciples classroom has been engaged in a curriculum based on John Paul II‟s
Theology of The Body, discussing issues ranging from sexuality to marriage from a Biblical perspective.
We also offer a Nursery and Children‟s Chapel program led faithfully by Debbie Adams and Donna
Thompson.
One of the things that became increasingly apparent to me from the beginning of my ministry here is that
Church of The Apostles is richly blessed with a group of hard working people fully dedicated to
providing sound Christian Education to our children. I would like to take this time to thank all of the
teachers who have dedicated so much of their time and talent to the Christian Education program. We are
seeing God‟s light shine in these children thanks to your efforts.
In addition to the children‟s programs, our Christian Education program includes adult education on
Sunday mornings, a Wednesday evening prayer and teaching series, the Joyful Women Bible Study on
Saturday mornings led by Barbara Bickerstaff, and a Precepts Bible study on the second, third, and fourth
Wednesday of each month. We are also currently offering The Truth Project on Tuesday evenings, and
Deacon Tom Bourn is offering a class on Talking about Jesus every other Thursday.
This Advent and Christmas season we once again supported the Toy Days outreach program facilitated by
the Artic Mission. As a church we donated a carloads worth of toys, bottled water and baked goods to the
program, and many of us volunteered at Artic Mission during the event. In addition, this year Church of
The Apostles has adopted an orphan from Haiti named Laura through Monadnock Bible Conference‟s
Child Sponsorship Program. The Christian Education program participated in these outreach programs
with the goal to instill in all our children the value of being good stewards of all that God has given us.
Thank you to all who have participated in any way in these programs as we have in a small way worked
to express Christ‟s love to the world.
21.
We were blessed this year to hold a Christmas Pageant on December 18th in which all the children in the
Sunday School program at Church of The Apostles had the opportunity to participate in the retelling of
the Nativity story. Thank you to all of the many, many people who volunteered to help with everything
from costumes to procuring props. A fun time was had by all and I hope that this tradition continues next
Christmas Season.
As we move forward in this new year, I would encourage all of you to continue to diligently read and
study God‟s Word. The writer of the letter to the Hebrews describes God‟s Word as being “full of living
power” (4:12); power to heal and transform us into being more like Christ in all we do. Let us continue,
then, to “let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in our hearts and make us wise” (Colossians
3:16).
Again, I am grateful for the time I have spent at Church of The Apostles thus far. It is been a blessing
getting to know each and every one of you and I hope to continue to do so in the coming months. Let us
go forward now rejoicing in what the Lord has accomplished in and through us in 2010 with the
expectation that He will do even greater things at Church of The Apostles in 2011.
Your brother and fellow servant in Christ,
Chris Lloyd
Minister of Christian Education

PASTORAL ASSISTANT
I begin this report with heartfelt thanks as I continue to serve you in my 6th year of ministry as your
Pastoral Assistant. I praise God that you have trusted in me to journey with you in so many ways; as your
counselor, confidant, mediator, advocate, and resource provider. I give God all the glory for allowing me
to serve you in the power of his Spirit. The direction and hope for my ministry is to continue to provide
you with sound biblical counseling in all areas. This promise that I make to you is much easier said than
done (as I am sure you know). In the world today, it is most often the case that when life happens and
things are not the way that we want them to be, we often look to others for blame. In our pride, we
believe that our brokenness is not our fault. We think that our problems are outside of the realm of our
control. But is that really a Biblical way to approach our lives?
Contrary to our sinful nature, the Scriptures are quite clear in revealing to us that, although a specific
event may be outside of our control, how we handle this event and the example we witness to our broken
world is not! God commands of us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5). In doing so, we must put all of our trust in His Word for
the answers to our trials and tribulations. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5,
6). Every Christian knows that God‟s way is not the easiest way; but I can assure you this: it is the
ONLY WAY! It is through our obedience to his Word that we will grow in our walk with the one, true
and living God. The closer we are to Him the stronger we become in fighting the attacks of the devil. No
matter what the circumstance is, my message to you will always be one of hope; through Jesus‟ death on
the cross. The author of the letter to the Hebrews assures us that “this hope [in the cross of Christ] we
have as an anchor of [our souls]…” (Hebrews 6:19).
I have recently begun a 16 month Nouthetic Counseling course. Nouthetic counseling involves one
Christian offering scriptural counsel to another Christian regarding how Christ can change his or her life
to be more Christ-like (Jay Adams). Nouthetic counseling consists of lovingly confronting people out of
deep concern in order to help them make those changes that God requires. This course will surely
provide me with a much deeper understanding of how to utilize His word in addressing your personal
needs. I look forward to journeying with you as we explore what the Bible says about your
circumstances.
I have continued to work collaboratively with many wonderful people in the implementation of and
planning for our HOLY COUPLES ministry, as it begins its 5th year. The HOLY COUPLES group
began in 2005 with 9 Christian (married) couples and today it continues to grow with over 25 Christian
couples participating. We continue to offer three separate groups meeting simultaneously in various
homes one Saturday evening per month. The same couples remain together for approximately 5 months
before our groups are reconfigured into three new groups; allowing for fellowship with other couples
involved in the ministry. There are three couples, one in each group, designated as the group leaders for
their group. I want to personally thank our group leaders, Elder Rob and wife Sharon Geoffrey and
Deacon Tom and wife Barbara Bourn, for their time and energy in this ministry. Our couples time spent
together each month begins with appetizers and fellowship, then on to our group program (video or audio,
prayer, and discussion), and ends with dessert (and a lot of laughter). Strengthening our marriages
through his teachings and following his instructions for marriage provides us with the necessary tools to
enriching our Christian marriages.
The series, discussions, and time spent together, has benefitted each of our marriages beyond expectation.
We have been utilizing a wonderful video series entitled “Love & Respect” for the past 10 months. Chad
and I have begun our exploration of the resources available to our groups once we have completed the
“Love & Respect” series.
23.
Throughout 2011, I will continue to meet with those within the body in need of my services. I am
honored to walk along side of you in your time of need in any situation that you need me. I praise God
for all of the wonderful blessings in our midst, and I commit myself to another year in your service.
Thank you for all of your prayers for me and my family. May God‟s blessings be upon all of you in the
year of our Lord 2011.
I am graciously yours in Christ‟s Holy Name,
Roberta L. Tvenstrup, LICSW
Pastoral Assistant

YOUTH GROUP MINISTER
JAMIM’ YOUTH GROUP
Our JAMIM‟ 2009-2010 calendar was packed with meetings, events, and fundraisers. Our biweekly
Friday night meetings were filled with games, discussion topics and lots of pizza, soda and ice cream!
We are very grateful for the church‟s strong support of our many fundraisers which support our annual
mission trip. We would like to thank Harry Sacchetti for his patience and guidance in organizing every
successful flower sales for Valentine's Day, Easter and Mother's Day. Additional funds were raised
through car washes, M&M fundraisers and a teen auction. One of the highlights of this year was the
strong bonds that continue to be developed and strengthened within our group as we work together. The
growth and accomplishments of the youth at Church of The Apostles are a credit to their parents, our
Christian Education program and all those who influence their lives.
The capstone event of 2010 was our Summer Mission trip to Bay City, MI., on July 17-24, 2010.
Thirteen teens and adult leaders from Church of The Apostles spent a week working with other youth
groups from all over the country serving the needy. Our teens and leaders served at nursing homes, inner
city youth camps, food pantries, cleaning houses, mowing cemeteries, weeding community food gardens,
and painting older homes & churches. Group Work Camps provided both morning and evening programs
which included singing, games, skits and a message that was very relevant to teens today. Each evening
we had devotions with our youth group which gave us an opportunity to talk about what we had learned.
We worked hard, expanded our horizons and learned more about how God would have us to serve. Our
teens comment each year that this experience is the highlight of their summer. They continue to grow in
God's love and exemplify the true meaning of a servant's heart.
We praise God for all that He has done for our youth group this year! We want to thank all of you for
your steadfast support of our teens! We would especially like to thank Donna Stomberg for continuing to
serve with us as an adult youth group leader and as a missions trip leader! And, of course, we want to
thank every one of our truly AWESOME teens!
In Christ,
Roger C. Hall
Youth Group Minister

HEALTH & WELLNESS MINISTER
Caring for all God‟s people is a part of the Church‟s mission and of its understanding of the Christian
Gospel. The mission of the Health and Wellness Ministry is to promote positive lifestyles by supporting
members of the congregation in caring for their spiritual, physical, emotional, and social needs. Since the
inception of this ministry we have been blessed with individuals committed to caring for the wholistic
need of the congregants. This has been done by actively engaging members in health promotion, health
education, and health prevention activities to ensure that they are kept whole, in mind, body, and spirit.
It is exciting what God is doing in our midst. Office hours are now available on Monday afternoon or by
appointment. We have been given an awesome space in the church hall to provide you with health
education and health promotion literature. This ministry currently meets monthly, provides monthly blood
pressure screenings, publishes monthly in Church Notes, and sponsors a monthly support group for
caregivers. We have sponsored two congregational-wide initiatives, “Get My People Going” and
currently “Racing Across America.”
Our goal as we move forward this year is to address health promotion and health education around areas
of chronic disease, nutrition, and exercise. We are currently in the process of developing a “health care
management system” that looks to address the specific needs of our seniors within the congregation. The
goal of the “health care management system” is to respond to their needs, fill the gaps, and serve as that
partner to support the community-based system of care. With the coming of spring we will be planning
health promotion activities for men and women‟s health, address concerns and issues of our adolescents,
and provide family and community education programs such as CPR/AED/First Aid and a health and
wellness fair.
As we move forward in faith, I would like to invite any member who is interested in this ministry to speak
to myself or any other current health and wellness member: Kathy Kettle, Jodi Antonelli, JoAnn Ruppert,
Debbie Adams, Cindy Hall, Beth Sexton, Karen Gudas, Jo Ann Colella, and Roberta Tvenstrup. It is
exciting to realize that we can focus on health promotion and disease prevention and the intentional care
of the spirit within the context of our faith community‟s values, beliefs, and faith practices.

ORGANIST AND MUSIC DIRECTOR
The Music Ministry here at the Church of The Apostles continues to glorify God through the medium of
music. We welcome other participants with the appropriate talents to the various programs.
The Men‟s Chorus has been increasing in numbers throughout the past year. They have sung at numerous
Sunday Services, and at Easter, Christmas Eve, and the Veterans Program. Rehearsals are held on
Sundays following the 10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist Service. If you are interested in joining, contact Ed
Farrell who does a great job of handling all the details for this group.
We continue to enjoy the inspirational music provided by the members of the Praise Band. David Swann,
the Director, and the Band Members devote their time and talent to be ready to participate in various
Services and events. I particularly appreciate this group as they provide your music when I take a
vacation.
The Handbell Choir has again had a busy year ringing at many Services, plus taking their program to
nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other churches and organizations. Ringers need not be able
to read music. They only need to be able to keep time and follow direction. Rehearsals are largely held
on Monday evenings. If you are interested in becoming a ringer, contact the organist for a current
rehearsal schedule.
At various times, we have enjoyed vocal solos by Sarah Bethel and Roger Hall. It is always a pleasure for
me to work with them.
Harrison Smiley and Sara Oliveira bring their instruments and talents to the Sunday‟s Family Service at
10:30 a.m. We are looking to enlarge this group in the near future. We have recently obtained our
Celebration Hymnal transposed for Bb and Eb instruments, with other keys available to us. Therefore, if
you play an instrument, come join us on Sunday morning.
In September 2010, we began to have music at the 8:00 a.m. Sunday Service. Many thanks to those who
have participated in the teams when I have not been present.
In closing I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to everyone who has participated in making a
joyful sound unto the Lord here at the Church of The Apostles.
Respectfully submitted,
Marianne H. Salisbury
Organist & Music Director

SACRISTY MINISTER
Altar Guild
The mission of the Altar Guild is to prepare the Lord‟s Table each week with care and reverence. Here at
The Church of The Apostles, we are blessed to have a wonderful group of dedicated women who serve on
the Altar Guild. I thank them for their faithfulness and commitment to this ministry. The Altar Guild
consists of four teams who take responsibility for all the services of a given week on a rotating basis.
In 2010, we were able to purchase new white hangings for the church. The white hangings were the last
set that required replacement, so we will not be incurring that expense again for some time. We also
replaced several of the small linens that are used on the altar.
We had a church cleaning day in September, and many guild members participated, as well as several
church members who volunteered their time and cleaning abilities. Many guild members and non
members offered their assistance as we decorated the church for Easter and Christmas. It is truly a
blessing to have so many people willing to help with these projects.
One of our members, Bert Cagle, retired in December, after many years of faithful service to the Altar
Guild.
The Altar Guild always welcomes new members. If you would like to serve the Lord in this ministry,
please see the Sacristy Minister, JoAnn Ruppert.
Flower Guild
The mission of the Flower Guild is to provide floral arrangements each Sunday, as well as to work with
the Altar Guild to prepare the church for the great celebrations of Christmas and Easter.
We operate on a rotating schedule, with each member taking responsibility for procuring and arranging
the flowers for a particular week. We have used flowers from various local stores/shops as well as
supplementing from our own gardens. Several members have spent extra hours making special floral
arrangements at Christmas and Easter time.
I thank all the members of the guild for their participation and commitment to this ministry. Each week I
look forward to see the artistry and creativity that each one brings forth in their service to the church. I
am blessed by your dedication and willingness to serve.
Respectfully submitted,
JoAnn Ruppert

TREASURER’S REPORT
God has continued to bless us with favorable finances at Church of The Apostles. The operating income
for 2010 was $345,187.43, and the operating expenses totaled $348,798.98. We also received expense
reimbursements of $4,191.67, resulting in a budget surplus of $580.12. Since we began the 2010 year
with a General Fund deficit of $227.08 carried forward from previous years, we are starting 2011 with a
budget surplus of $353.04. I would also like to highlight the fact that our income from weekly offerings
and pledges in 2010 totaled $320,665.88, an increase of 5.5 percent over the previous year. Thank you
for your faithful giving, and praise God for His faithfulness to us!
The overall financial picture of Church of The Apostles was significantly enhanced in 2010 through a
bequest of $85,250.15 from the estate of Russell Snow (who died in May 2006). The first thing I would
like to note is that none of the money from the bequest was used for normal operating expenses. Instead,
ten percent of the total was allocated to our Outreach Fund, and more than 80 percent of the remaining
balance was transferred into our savings funds for new ministries and for future capital expenditures. The
rest of the money was used to make extra principal payments on our mortgage, to cover the fees involved
in refinancing the mortgage to a lower interest rate, to pay off a long-term sewer loan, and to construct
and furnish our new Elders‟ office.
The Operating Budget for 2011 anticipates total budget income of $369,000.00 and total budget
expenditures of $379,308.00, with the tentative deficit being covered by any reimbursements received and
by a withdrawal from the New Ministries Fund to help pay the salary of our Christian Education Minister.
This budget was approved by the Church Council in December 2010, based on a budget proposal
prepared by a Finance Committee consisting of Superintendent Galloway, Treasurer Bob Bickerstaff,
Elder Chad Tvenstrup, Archdeacon Tom Bourn, Deacon Kathy Kettle, Financial Secretary Barbara
Battey, and Active Members Beverly Brown and Roy Greene.
As always, I want to acknowledge and thank Barbara Battey, our Church Administrator and Financial
Secretary, for her work in managing the day-to-day finances of Church of The Apostles. In her duties as
bookkeeper and financial records custodian, she diligently maintains our financial records and provides
me with the detailed information I need in order to report the status of the church‟s finances to the Church
Council and the Congregation. Thank you Barbara!
I would also like to thank our Sunday counters, especially our lead counter Sue Clarke and our substitute
lead counter Joan Clarke. Our other counters are Beverly Brown, Dale Famiglietti, Linda Greco, Lynne
Habershaw, Sue Pillsbury, Linda Quinn, JoAnn Ruppert, Jane Venditto, and Lois Whitman. Thank you
to all our counters for their dedication to this important ministry!
If anyone has questions, comments, or concerns about the finances or financial reports of the church,
please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
Bob Bickerstaff
Treasurer
