Sometimes things go the

way that we want and sometimes

they just don’t. A few weeks ago I

underwent my provisional inter-

views for the order of elder, and I

was approved in three areas; how-

ever, I was continued in one area.

This means that I will not be com-

missioned in 2015. Since I was ap-

proved in 3 areas, I will not have to

re-interview in those areas. I will

only need to repeat the one inter-

view that I was continued in.

So what does that mean?

Nothing will really appear different

at Shady Grove. I will continue at

Shady Grove in the same position

and with the same credentials as I

have been serving for the last sever-

al years. I will still lead worship and

administer the sacraments as I have

in the past, in addition to my other

pastoral and staff responsibilities.

What this does mean is

that the Board of Ordained Minis-

tries, while recognizing my gifts and

preparedness in several areas, has

asked me to focus on preparing

myself in some particular areas that

they feel will benefit both me and

the church that I serve. Over the

next year, I will be intentional

about my growth in those areas.

Next winter, I will have the oppor-

tunity to go back to the board and

revisit my progress.

Is this frustrating? Yes it is,

but the important things in life are

rarely free from frustration and

occasional setbacks. I truly believe

that the system we have in place is

designed to ensure that our clergy

are set up for success and that our

congregations are provided with

clergy leadership capable of helping

them be fruitful in ministry.

SSSTEPHENTEPHENTEPHEN MMMINISTRYINISTRYINISTRY . . . . . . . . . Provides HELP!Provides HELP!Provides HELP!

We all know that we will face

different degrees of need from

time to time. Someone trapped

in a life-threatening situation

needs immediate help. Some-

one who has a broken bone or a

deep cut would be rushed to

the emergency room.

We know too that we face spir-

itual and emotional needs as

well. Often, the loss of a loved

one changes the circumstances

of life so drastically that it can

create a deep need because of

the pain, grief, and loneliness we

experience. Our church has a

compassionate staff that readily

reaches out at times like these.

We have a caring congregation

that individually reaches out to

those hurting in church and in our

community. We also respond

through ministries like the free

clinic and the church benevolence

fund. In addition, there are groups

of members who have joined to-

gether to be trained to offer a vari-

ety of ways of helping others.

One such group is Stephen Minis-

ters who are Shady Grove mem-

bers who have attended fifty hours

of training to be able to offer walk-

along side confidential Christian

care. This ministry has been a part

of Shady Grove since 1998.

Recently, a Grief Support group

ministry was started and uses ma-

terials from the international or-

ganization called “Griefshare.”

If you find yourself needing to

meet one-on-one with a Stephen

Minister, or you would like to be

part of a Grief Support Group, we

would like to help.

You only need to contact the

church at 746-9073 and ask for

the help you need. The staff

member you talk with will make

immediate contact with the lead-

ers of these ministries who will, in

turn, be in touch with you.

- Frank Simmons

Stephen Ministry

I have no doubt that

those things that I will be do-

ing over the next year will

help me in my own walk with

God and to be a better disci-

ple of Jesus Christ.

I am so very grateful

to the support I have received

at Shady Grove and I look

forward to continuing this

journey as we all strive to

grow together!

- In Christ, Pastor Brad

In 2013, Church Council adopted a written Communion Fund Policy which requires that the Fi-

nance Committee conduct a formal annual review of the activities of the Fund. On February 9, 2015, the

Committee completed its review of 2014 Communion Fund activity and is pleased to make the following

report to Church Council and to the congregation.

The Communion Fund began January 1, 2014 with a carryover balance of $4,421.76 from 2013.

During 2014, the Fund received contributions of $15,785.26, gave assistance to persons in need totaling

$18,321.95, and ended 2014 with a carryover balance of $1,885.07. Contributions to the Communion Fund

for all of 2014 increased 5.6% when compared to 2013. Total assistance given in 2014 increased by 38%.

The following types of assistance were given during 2014:

During 2014 we assisted 14 more individuals than in 2013, providing over $5,000 more in assistance

than in 2013. The increased assistance came about in part because we increased the amount we would pay

annually to any one person/family to $125, up from $100 in prior years. Consequently, our fund balance

has declined significantly. Your additional gifts to the communion fund will allow us to be able to continue

to provide this valued support to those in need during times of hardship. Thank you for your faithful and

continuing support of the Communion Fund.

Contributions to the Communion Fund are received as a special offering on the first Sunday of each

month during worship. Donations may also be made by adding an amount for the Communion Fund to

your regular church offering. The Fund is administered by our Administrative Assistant with the assistance

of our 3 pastors and limited to $125 annually per recipient. To qualify for assistance, recipients need to be

residents of Hanover County or Shady Grove members.

success.

Over $4,000 was made which will help fund the 2015 budget of

tribute to many mission projects locally and around the world.

We greatly appreciate the donations of your “treasures” and

baked goods as well as your presence and support on the day of

the Yard Sale!
