Carried.

REPORT OF THE SENIOR PASTOR

 

 

 

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His

Life a ransom for many.”

(Matthew 20:28)

 

“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

(Luke 19:10)

 

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ

lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son

of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

(Galatians 2:20)

 

 

 

2009 has been a year filled with all kinds of challenges.  Many of which we would not have chosen to experience.  Internationally, the nations of the world seem to be in chaos.  Economically, there is a world-wide recession that does not appear to be any where near a conclusion.  Nationally, we have seen staggering unemployment, home foreclosures, the death of many businesses, the loss of trust in our elected representatives to provide  necessary leadership and the threat of terrorism at any point in time.  And Ecclesiastically, the church also finds itself in the midst of midst of its own challenges as well.  However, it must be understood that our God is still in control.  He is sovereign.  There is no “chaos” in heaven. 

 

As a general observation, it seems to me that the Church is adrift in a sea of indifference.  If that is a correct observation . . .?  Then, I have a major question that must be asked.  How can the Church be “indifferent” when the world is in such chaos?  The objective, the purpose, the calling of the church are clear!  We are to be God’s representatives in this world, therefore living Christ-like lives, we are to bring God’s truth into a world that is lost in confusion and to live in accordance with His Spirit (see Galatians 5:16).

 

I believe that as we go in to 2010 we will find the door for ministry wide open . . . if we will walk through them.  I also believe that the above referenced Scripture is key to a fruitful 2010. 

 

First, Matthew 20:28, addresses the need for a servant’s heart.  As long as we see ourselves as the center of the universe, we will have absolutely no need to seek anything beyond ourselves.  But, as we consider others as being more important than ourselves (see Philippians 2:3-4) we will seek opportunities to serve them. 

 

Second, Luke 19:10, explains that Jesus was not satisfied with simply “seeking” the lost.  Jesus came not only to seek the lost . . . He came to seek and to save that which

was lost.  I am convinced that there is a difference between “outreach” and

-5-

 

“evangelism.”  We are content with “outreach.”  “Outreach” is where we connect the

congregation with the community.   “Evangelism,” on the other hand, is where Christ is connected with the community.  I pray that during 2010 we are not satisfied with doing outreach that comes short of evangelism.  We must give people the opportunity to connect with Jesus!

 

Finally, Galatians 2:20, represents a lifestyle reality that would characterize those who attend the Sunnyside Alliance Church . . . that the lives that we live will be lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself up for us.

 

I believe that 2010 will be a year of expanded ministry opportunities for us . . . it must be!  Let’s labor in the work together and as we do, let us claim the reality of Luke 24:15, “While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.”  What greater joy can there be than to follow the Lord with Jesus, Himself, in our midst!  He who draws near on the first day of January will also be with us to the last day of December.  He goes with each of us as individual disciples: guiding, guarding, encouraging, renewing and sharing the qualities of His own life with us.  Oh that 2010 may be the year of the burning heart as He talks with us all through out the year.

 

In closing, I want to thank each one of you for your faithfulness in ministry over the past year.  Your love for God and for one another make ministry among you a tremendous joy.  I want to give special thanks to our hard-working staff of Pastor Keith Helsel and our administrative assistant, Diana Nossick.  Also, I want to thank our Elders and Administrative Board members who give of their time and efforts to the ministry of our church and our people.  I am sad to say that two of our elders (Don Bartley and Tim Bohaker) who have served so well and so faithfully for many years are stepping down from the eldership effective January 10, 2010.  They will be greatly missed . . .!  I especially want to express my appreciation to Babs for her support, encouragement and sacrifice.  Also, I want to thank each one of you who make ministry at the Sunnyside Alliance Church a true joy.  I love you all!

REPORT OF THE YOUTH PASTOR

 

The greatest highlight of the youth ministry at Sunnyside this year was the baptism of nine students at the annual church picnic and the salvation of four souls throughout the year.  These are truly priceless milestones.  If all of the angels in Heaven rejoice when a sinner repents, how much more ought we when one of our very own repents! 

 

At the 30-hour famine in Silver Spring, MD, the students served Christ in various projects throughout the community.  Some of the activities included landscaping, painting, and sorting through clothes, as well as serving food at some shelters.  The teens were taught why they need to share their faith, and received instruction on how to do so.  The also learned that it is more blessed to give than to receive.  We raised about 1,000 dollars for starving people in Burkina Faso, Africa!

 

Once again we had about 25 students (Jr. and Sr. high) attend the District Youth Retreat in Goshen, VA.  Dave and Tara Powers did a fantastic job leading Praise, and teaching the Word.  Dave shared from his heart and life-experience the power of prayer and the Word.  The students saw that the Word is living and active—sharper than a two-edged sword.  They were challenged to read regularly and use God’s Word as a guide for their lives.  The students really were amazed by the power and effect the Word can have on one’s life.  Many are striving to read their Bibles.

 

During the year the students received some great discipleship in the mid-week program as we went through the Beta Course.  They also learned some first steps to living a Spirit-filled life.  They have picked up some apologetics, and learned about who is the real Jesus.  Students heard the message of hope that He brought.  They also started to see why only life with the Holy Spirit can bring true joy. 

 

Some students went on a Leadership retreat to focus on Prayer, the Word, and Walking by the Spirit.  They were challenged to grow closer to the Lord, and strive to know Him and serve Him more fully. 

 

In Sunday school the Sr. High students have learned about God’s plan for the Church to work together as a community.  Also, they have been learn about how Jesus loved and served them—our example and motivation to love and serve others.  

 

The Jr. High class has been covering various middle school issues such as:  Why do we need church?  Why should I live differently than other kids my age? and Why is the Bible so important?

REPORT OF THE ELDERS

 

 

It is our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has call us to serve Him and His Church and it is truly He who enables us to faithfully serve His purposes among you.  As a church, we have been extremely blessed with the elders whom God has called to shepherd us.  They are godly men!  Don Bartley and Tim Bohaker have faithfully served as elders of this church for quite a few years.  This year they have decided that it was time for them to step down and continue their service from the lei perspective.  Their wisdom and hard work will be missed at the Board of Elders.  Don and Tim, thanks so much for your service . . .!

 

We, as the Board of Elders, are looking forward to an exciting new year of service.  We know that there will be difficulties that will lie ahead.  But we also know the Word of God.  We know that Jesus has promised to. . . build His Church (Matthew 16:18).  We acknowledge that that does not mean that God will use us to build His Church.  However, as we walk by the Spirit we will trust God to use us . . . I believe that we will see the growth of the Kingdom of God, perhaps even within the Sunnyside Alliance Church. 

 

We ask you to join us in our “walk of faith” as we seek to honor God through our faithful obedience to His Word.  “Do two men walk together unless they make an agreement” (Amos 3:3)

REPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD

 

The National General Council’s mandate requires the elders to be the lead Board of the church. However, the Elders Board delegated the authority to govern the operation of the Sunnyside CMA Church to the Administrative Board. The Administrative Board met monthly (except in March) and for special circumstances throughout the past year to undertake this duty. The following are just a few of the many decisions reached by the Board and the highlights of the past year:

 

• Underwrote costs for numerous ministry trips and leadership development seminars.
• Changed the Administrative Assistant’s position from a “contract employee” to an “employee of the church” which requires withholding taxes taken out the paycheck.
• $10K was forwarded to Toccoa Falls College that was matched 100% for scholarships.
• Funds for the purchase of food were provided to support the Dorchester County cold weather shelter.
• Funds were provided to assist church members and attendees in paying overdue utility bills.
• Purchased shade trees for the play area.
• Funds were provided to support the Dorchester Evangelical Ministerial group.
• Drafted several versions and ultimately recommended approval for a “Management Policy for the Outreach Ministry”.
• Started advertising on Bay Country Communications.

 

The church’s financial situation was closely monitored monthly throughout the year to ensure that adequate funds were on-hand to finance the daily operation of the church without sacrificing the church’s financial stability.

 

The year 2009 has been a busy, exciting and fulfilling year. 2010 looks to be as exciting and rewarding.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT

 

Wow, another year has come and gone already.  I guess it’s true what our parents used to say - the older you get, the faster time goes by!  We’ve had another great year of adult classes including one by David Jeremiah called “What in the World is Going On” focusing on end-time prophesies.  We also had a women’s Bible Study titled “The Excellent Wife” that was offered on Sunday morning and evening to accommodate our women Sunday school teachers.

 

We started using a new curriculum for our 2, 3 & 4 year old class and our Kindergarten and 1^st Grade class by Group called “Buzz”.  The kids really love it and excited to see what lesson we’re going to have each week!  Praise God for an answered prayer!  Our 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th & 5^th grade class is still going strong, also.

 

I just want to say “thank you” to all the Sunday school teachers for all their dedication and hard work, this past year and look forward to a growing Sunday school in 2010!

 

God Bless,

 

Bette Jean Lowe

Sunday School Superintendent

SCHOLARSHIP FUND

 

 

In 2007 we started a “Scholarship Fund” for the purpose of financially helping those who are preparing for the Gospel ministry; either by way of home service or through missionary service.  This year we received a total of $10,195.. 

 

We have been extremely blessed this year.  A foundation agreed to match funds that we would raise for the tuition of the students who were preparing for ministry.  And then on top of those matching funds, Toccoa Falls College agreed to match all the funds that we would forward designate for students attending their College.  We were able to raise $5,000 which grew to $20,000 for the five students preparing for ministry at Toccoa.  Praise the Lord!

 

I believe that it is a terrible shame to have young men and women who are called to serve be excessively burdened with extreme college debt.  Through this fund we have an opportunity to “lighten their load.”  It is my desire that this fund would significantly aid students who seek to serve the Lord in the Gospel ministry.  Thank you for your part in this fine ministry.

ALLIANCE MEN'S MINISTRY

Trying to remember the occurrences of the past year, I have to smile at some of the bright spots and grieve at the failed ones. Sometimes we become overwhelmed with the failures of ministry, but God is gracious to give us some good times to warm our hearts and give us enough enthusiasm to continue. And we must continue for it is God's plan for us to do His work.

 

In the past year we have tried to reach out to our community in a more direct way. Our Valentine's Banquet was well attended and enjoyed by all. In the spring we were unable to get enough commitment for the Dave Ramsey Financial Course but did host bis live web based seminar which was well attended by people of the community. We continue to reach out with our monthly men's breakfasts. In July we hosted an Entertainment Night of dancing and music and an evangelistic play. All feedback was very positive with some wanting us to sponsor these events more often. I was not told if anyone was drawn to the Lord during the night but we tried to do so.

 

Our Wednesday night disciple classes continue. Tom Corbett lead us through "Point Man" by Steve Farrar, and Walt Crumling facilitated a Crown Financial Ministries series. We are currently studying different topics. The county wide Men's Fraternity was well attended and we are currently in recess until after the first of the year. This has been a truly great study.

Because our district has not had any men's retreats for a while, two men attended the South Atlantic District's men's retreat in November. They had an excellent time and were very blessed by the weekend.

 

There have been some rays of hope as men have stepped up and started leading events. One has taken over the monthly Men's breakfasts. One couple has lead a small group study. They have also been instrumental in getting people to serve at the homeless shelter. These are the things we hope to see our men doing. There are lots of repair work and construction projects going on in the church body. I know of some Bible studies that are going on in homes. Our website is up and running and we try to keep it fairly current.

 

We are in the process of developing a brochure that we can hand out to new contacts and attendees. We have purchased a new series called "How to raise a modern-day Knight" that we hope to get started in January. We also are in the process of selecting one or two needy families in the area that we can give items to that are needed so they may celebrate a joyous Christmas this year. Next year we are hoping to organize a car show that we can use as an outreach event. A group of men will be serving at the homeless shelter in January.

It is very hard to get men to commit any more of their time but we keep trying. It is God's plan for us to do His work. It is a very noble endeavor.

S.W.OR D.S REPORT

 

  

The S.W.O.R.D.’s Care and Share has been meeting monthly for the past five years.  The group is comprised of believers in our church who are separated, widowed, or divorced. We enjoy Sunday afternoon dinners together and set aside time for devotions and for sharing prayer needs.  We support each other by daily lifting up fellow Christians, family members, and friends in prayer as we carry burdens, as well as joys to the Lord.  The group has also set aside times of fellowship when we go out for lunch after Sunday service.

ALLIANCE WOMEN'S AREPORT

 

This has been a very challenging year for my first full year as Alliance Women's leader, but God is faithful and consistent and provided some others with some great ideas for us to use for His glory.

 

Our theme for 2009 was ''Thirst Quenchers", taken from Psalms 63:1

In January, we had our first meeting of the year, the meeting was short, spent

mostly on ideas for the up coming months.  The rest of the time was spent in prayer for our country and our new administration.

 

February was spent gathering items for "Teacher's Encouragement" baskets, that was suggested at our January meeting.  In March several of us met at the church to fill our twenty-two  "Encouragement" baskets for our county teachers.  The items were to add some joy and relief to our hard working, dedicated teachers during the time of their Maryland School Assessment (MSA) tests.  The baskets were delivered to the various schools between March 16 and 20, after which we received several emails of gratitude from the teachers.  April 24 and 25 was our Alliance Women's Retreat in Ocean City, Maryland at the Dune's Manor Hotel where sixteen of our ladies attended.  We enjoyed listening to some great speakers, including a missionary_, Chai Lyn Yu.  May was spent gathering Mommy and baby items to present to the Easton Pregnancy Center.

June 8, I had the pleasure of delivering about 25 wrapped or gift bagged gifts to the Easton Pregnancy Center for the new mothers and babies-to-be. The volunteer there was overjoyed,  Also in June, on Father's Day, the Alliance Women conducted a tribute to the fathers and grandfathers of our church.  We had some children read a poem to their fathers along with me sharing a joke and a poem.  We presented prizes to the father with the youngest child, the father with the brightest shirt, and the grandfather with the brightest tie.  Each father got to take home a metal book mark with Jeremiah. 17:7 on it and a love letter from God.  July 25, Babs, Cara,  Mary Williams and myself attended a very informative seminar at the Atlanta Road Alliance church led by their pastor's wife, Nixie Laremore.   She explained the five distinctives of our organization:   Outreach, Fellowship, Missions, Prayer and Discipleship, and how to apply them to our lives.  In September, we had two ladies Bible studies formed, Becky Cooney led a ten week study on "The Excellent Wife" by 'Martha Peace.  Marcie Wooters led a twelve week Women of Faith study on "Overcoming Fear " If you missed either one, you missed some good information and time for sharing.  In December, we had our annual Christmas Party at my house.  We were small in number, but large in food and fun.  We did the Chinese Gift Exchange again this year, Mary Williams gave a report along with pictures on one of our two missionary kids. Micah Adams.  We support two missionary kids (boys), Mary Williams has one and Patty Newcomb has the other.

 

 

We still have our “scrapbookers” meeting monthly and enjoying every minute of that ministry.

Please continue to pray for this ministry and the missionaries we support plus all the missionaries living outside their "comfort zone."

PRAISE AND WORSHIP TEAM

 

Greetings from the Praise Team!  This past year my goal for the Praise and Worship time was to introduce newer worship songs.  Some of these songs include Jesus Messiah, How Can I Keep From Singing, Might to Save, etc.  We continue to be open to welcoming new singers/musicians to our team. 

My goal for 2010 is to continue to introduce new songs and possibly start a second Praise and Worship team.

CHILDREN’S WEDNESDAY NIGHT & CHILDREN’S CHURCH REPORT

 

 The Wednesday Night Children’s Ministry is for children Pre-K through 5^th grade.  The very enthusiastic group meets in the Children’s Church room on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm until 8:00pm.  We started out the year using the Winter Camp curriculum.  The lessons focused on knowing God and His love for us.  We took a break for spring sports and part of the summer.  We then started the Summer Camp 2.  The lessons for this camp focused on Jesus, knowing Him, Being a Christian and Witnessing.  In the fall we began the Kids Choice Camp where the lessons were on the 10 Commandments.  Wednesday night has been very lively with many games and activities to re-enforce the Bible lesson for the evening.  The kids have had a great time while growing in their knowledge and walk with the Lord.

 

The Children’s Church Ministry also includes children Pre-K through 5^th grade.  The children are dismissed just before the sermon begins to go to the Children’s Church room for a short lesson and / or activity.  Children’s Church is staffed on a rotating schedule by many wonderful parent, adult and teenage members from the congregation.  After one of the Elder’s opens with a short prayer, the volunteers present a lesson from the Kids Own Worship curriculum.  

 

The children have continued this year to reach out to others.  They have packed shoe boxes for the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Child Project, passed out carnations to all the ladies on Mother’s Day, passed out cookies to all the men on Father’s Day and collected hats, gloves and scarves to give to area schools through the Mitten Tree. 

 

In addition to their Wednesday and Sunday lessons and out reach activities the children have greatly enjoyed forming a Bell Choir.  They have performed at various times throughout the year for our congregation.  The music is designed so the child does not need to be able to read music to be a part of the choir.  This has enabled us to use all the children plus any visitors in Children’s Church and Wednesday Night Ministry as part of the choir.  The children love playing the bells and performing for the church.  We hope to have more performances next year.

 

We have had a wonderful year with the children.  I would like to thank all the volunteers that have helped in Children’s Church and during Wednesday Night (Bette Jean Lowe, Audrey West and Debbi Thorpe).  Even the smallest amount of time you touch a child’s life leaves a lasting impression in their heart.  Thank you for taking the time to love and teach the children and help point them to love, follow and grow in the Lord.

2^ND WIND MINISTRY

 

 

 

 

On November 2^nd of 2007, our church partnered with the 2^nd Wind Ministry as led by Dr. Ken Priddy, co-founder of United Front Ministries.  Our Vision Team, consisting of Patty Newcomb, Blaise Brown, Terry Dorr, Keith Helsel and George Hufnagel, have been faithfully meeting twice most months since the inception of this ministry to pray, assess, develop and plan strategies that are intended to result in the growth of the Sunnyside Alliance Church and therefore the Kingdom of God.

 

We have considered various demographic information and data.  We have carefully observed the make-up of our communities.  As a result, we have identified an “impact group” upon which our vision is focused.  We have identified three Essential Result Ministries (E.R.M.’s) (men’s ministry, women’s ministry and youth ministry) which will receive the lion’s share of our ministerial energies (at least initially).  And we have developed Ministry Action Plans (M.A.P.’s) for each of the above ministry.  Each of the M.A.P.’s focus on the following in priority order:   contacts, converts, disciples, servants, leaders and multipliers.

 

Surely, Jesus will build His Church . . . He said so!  But for some reason, He has determined to do it through our involvement.  WE are His tools for the building of His Church.  God has given us a message and a ministry that will effect the very condition of our world and where people spend eternity . . . we are responsible!  I do not believe that we have the option of sitting by, waiting for them to come to us with their questions.  Consider this . . . that which is LOST has simply not yet been FOUND.  Jesus came “To seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).  THEN, He commissioned us to do the same (see Matthew 28:19-20).

 

Sadly, this particular ministry has not flourished . . . for whatever the reason may be.  We cannot give up!  We must obey the principles given to us in the Word of God to bring salvation to our communities.  We do not have another option . . .!  We will continue to prepare and to GO in obedience to the commands given to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus, Christ.

 

The ministry is clear . . . it simply needs to be communicated and then embraced.  We have Kingdom business to address.

TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORTS

 

The trustees were called on several occasions to set up and tear down the sanctuary seating for different occasions. Getting the Trustees to show up at the church to set up the sanctuary was like pulling teeth. The Wednesday evening group stepped in to complete the task. The air conditioning units were inspected and preventative maintenance was performed. Unit #1 for the Sanctuary was found to have a piece of copper pipe in the fuse disconnect rather than a fuse. The copper was replaced by a fuse and a contactor that was blowing fuses was replaced.

It was suggested that trees be planted in the front area of the church to provide shade when the congregation gathers outside during the warm months. Hills Point Landscapers were given the go ahead and the project is expected to be completed by the end of December.

 

The outside shed has both doors off lying up against the building. The task to secure the doors has been assigned but not completed

 

Suggestions to make the trustee group more efficient:

The nominating committee needs explain to each individual the job description

The candidates need to realize the time and effort required

The Executive board should lay out what they would like to see completed for the year ahead

Each trustee should be given areas of responsibility

 

 

Respectively submitted
