Minutes of the Annual Parish Meeting of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church Sunday, November 11, 2018

The Reverend Dr. Kurt Gerhard called to order the 2018 Annual Meeting of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church that he started with a prayer. The meeting was held after the conclusion of the 10 a.m. service and a brief coffee time.

Parishioners were provided a document entitled “Annual Meeting of the Parish of St. Patrick’s, Washington, DC November 11, 2018.” On the first page of the document the agenda, members of the St. Patrick’s Vestry (2018) and the Mission Statement were listed. The agenda was followed.

The minutes of the 2017 annual meeting (pages 4-5) were moved, seconded and passed unanimously by voice vote.

The Rector identified his “State of the Parish Report” (pages 6,7, 8) and called attention to several specifics. In particular, Sunday morning worship was rescheduled to one 10 a.m. service offering a children’s chapel. The acolyte program for young people (6th grade and older) was reorganized and implemented as part of the 10 a.m. service. Indra Chalk was recognized for her efforts in this regard. To address issues of our now 30 year old facility, the carpet in the Great Hall was replaced and the Nave floor refinished. The fireplace was converted to gas. It was dedicated as a “The Memorial Fireplace” on All Saints Sunday, November 4, 2018.

We have continued to address the goal of adding more younger families/members to the parish as well as serving our aging parishioners. Several community events enhanced this effort. The deaths of Tucker Battle, Sr, Cleveland Barnes, and Mona Hanford were noted. We also celebrated 10 baptisms and 14 confirmations this year.

The State of the Parish Report concluded with key initiatives for 2019 and beyond (page 8.) In particular, The Way of Love initiative of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and Bishop of Washington Mariann Budde was highlighted. The seven disciplines to be addressed include: “Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest.” (page 8.)

The “Financial Health of St. Patrick’s” was reported (pages 9-10) with pie charts and a succinct summary. Importantly, the annual church audit was recently concluded with “a clean audit.” Individual pledges and secondarily fundraisers have continued to form the major sources of income for the parish income. The major expenditures for the parish have been compensation and benefits. (The recipients: the 3 full-time employees, several part-time employees and those employees shared with the Day School.) Streamlined systems have been put into place and the Vestry and staff have been dedicated to careful stewardship of parish funds. Significantly, 25% of our expenditures have been and continue to be for outreach. This continued to be an “amazing percentage among churches.” (page 10) Treasurer Harry Teter and the Rector were available to answer questions or conduct further conversation.

An important part of the Annual Parish Meeting is to elect new leaders. The Rector thanked the nominating committee members and offered the nominations (page 11.) He asked for any additional nominations from the floor, of which there were none. The slate of nominees for the 2019 Vestry was accepted and voted by a resounding voice vote of the attending congregation.

The “Community Life Report: 2017-2018” (pages 12-13) was provided by Community Life Coordinator, MaryAnn Griffin who was recognized by the Rector. It detailed specific programs and outreach activities. The recent Community Web Fundraiser was the brainchild of Senior Warden Lalie Tongour. The Rector thanked Lalie for the idea and implementation. She received applause from the congregation during the Rector’s expression of appreciation. The Senior Warden noted that there are still opportunities to sign up for events and that the process will be for the ‘event hosts’ to notify the participants with specific information. Parish Administrator Karen Melchar was thanked for coordinating all the aspects of this effort. Both hosts and participants were thanked for their generosity. The idea of these events was both to be a fundraising source but also to build community and deepen roots within the parish and among the congregation.

Since no new business was offered from the floor, the Rector asked if there was a motion to adjourn by Harry Teter and seconded by Carol Jobusch.

Rector closed the meeting with a prayer and adjourned the 2018 Annual Meeting.

State of the Parish Report

From: The Rev. Dr. Kurt Gerhard, Rector Date: November 10, 2019 - Annual Meeting

The Past Year

New at St. Patrick’s

We are in the midst of a transition of who we are as a parish. We will entering a period of mutual ministry review (MMR). MMR is looking at the things we are doing well as a parish and what we need to improve and then following that up with a strategic plan to accomplish it together. Ministry at this place is about more than the professional staff; it is about the whoel congregation making steps to fulfill God’s mission. As part of that work, the Vestry set a new mission statement and tag line. We will work to Walk in Love as Christ Loves Us: Gather, Serve, and Grow. We believe these words will form the basis for our life together. Over the summer, Jo Anne Nelson redesigned our website. It allows us much more flexibility for programming like the Community Web and it is organized around Gather, Serve, and Grow. It is a great place for new people to get a beginning look at St. Patrick’s, but it is also a place for our parishioners to stay in touch and go deeper in faith. We are also developing a system under the oversight of Parish Administrator Mary Beth Howard that will allow our members to log into our database system to access contact information and communicate with ministry partners. This is the same system that powers our signups for the Community Web. We will need your help in making this system a success by following through on registration when it is sent out.

Sabbatical

Rectors are expected to take sabbaticals every 4-7 years. I took my first from Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2019, my ninth year as your Rector and in my 19th year of ordination. The sabbatical was not extraordinary. Jennifer and I went to Ireland for ten days with two other clergy couples. We witnessed the rainy weather, I played some golf, and it felt like a great weight was lifted from my chest. St. Patrick’s has been my life over the past ten years. As your pastor, I walk with you through good and bad times. I have engaged with new learning which I have attempted to pass on to you. I feel like I have grown as a priest and as a spiritual person. For this I am thankful. But, it also takes constant attention. A sabbatical is an opportunity to breathe. The sabbatical I had this past summer was definitely a needed break. I read about 10 books. The two books that I will mention are Love Your Enemies by Arthur C. Brooks and How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. We are spiritual beings in a world that demands us to respond to very human wants and needs. For different reasons, these books help me wrestle with that tenuous balance. Every Sunday, I visited other Episcopal communities for worship. Most of them were nearby. I got to experience each of these places like an outsider and I came to appreciate the wonders of St. Patrick’s hospitality and welcoming architecture. Of course, I am thankful for the Vestry stepping forward to lead while I was especially to the wardens: Lalie Tongour, Patrick Kean, and Julie Khuzami. I am also thankful that the newly ordained Jenifer Gamber was willing to step up and provide the energy behind a summer exploration of baptism.

Music

Music is an important part of our parish life. I learned when I was growing up that singing was like praying twice. That is certainly true at St. Patrick’s. Our Music in Motion (K-Grade 2), Jubilate Deo (Grade 3-6), and Classy Bells choirs are engaging with God through the joy of music. Our Cantoris Choir sang the Rutter Requiem last week for All Saints and provides truly inspirational offerings throughout the year. We also have the Bluegrass group and the Family Choir and parishioners offering solos instrumentally and vocally. In addition, everyone is encouraged to sing as part of our regular Sunday liturgy. The musical selections are diverse and represent our many traditions. Our music comes alive through volunteer participation through the direction of the amazing Dr. Adele Lynch. In 2020, Adele will be celebrating 25 years as our Director of Music. She has touched the lives of so many people through her music, but also through her compassionate heart.

Educational Offerings

Education is always an important part of life at St. Patrick’s. Our children begin their formation through the Godly Play curriculum which is offered on Sunday mornings during our regular worship time. This past summer, we redesigned our Library to provide a sacred space for Children’s Chapel to be held and to store the wonderful Godly Play storytelling meterials that were donated by the Rev. Jenifer Gamber. GW student Madeleine Deisen was our primary storyteller during the 2018-19 program year. Parishioner Louisa Hurt took over during the summer and during the beginning months of this program cycle. Might you be interested in learning to tell stories using the Godly Play curriculum? This is a great way to give back and be amazed by the wonderful imagination of children. Let me know if you are interested in learning more.

Our middle school youth prepare for Confirmation in our Sunday evening Classy program. It is always a lively group who are gathering to rehearse on the bells, share a meal, and engage in conversation around a faith topic. The Rev. Dr. Lisa Barrowclough, Yaa Addison and I are leading the conversations this year. In May of 2019, ten eighth graders were confirmed at the Washington National Cathedral after completing their Classy sessions.

For adults, we offered a 7-part series exploring Presiding Bishop Michael Curry’s Way of Love. We walked through the 7 practices (turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, rest) in preparation for setting a rule of life for Lent of 2019. There were about 30 people who regularly participated in the Way of Love. During Lent and the beginning of the Easter season, we offered a class on the parables of Jesus using Amy-Jill Levine’s book, The Short Stories of Jesus. We handed out thirty books. Each session included a lively discussion after a video introduction of the week’s story by Amy-Jill Levine. Those who participated became big fans of Professor Levine, so during Advent we will explore the stories leading up to Christmas with her new book, Light of the World, as our guide.

I decided to lead a conversation about racism after reading the new book How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. The book, which I read during my sabbatical, made me think differently about how to address racism because it integrated history, personal memoir, and deep reflection on the issue of race in America. We offered a 6-week discussion series on the book. There were 20-30 people at the first three sessions, and ten at the last three. Those who participated have committed to look for ways that we can change policy as a Christian centered group to be antiracist.

The New Saints

We held six memorial services at St. Patrick’s. Peter Clute was the only parishioner who died since our last annual meeting. He had been a member of St. Patrick’s for about 8 years and was a participant in our Senior Saints group and used to transport food to our partners at St. Philip’s. The other five services were for long-ago members or people who sought our love and comfort in a time of great need. We also celebrated new life in Christ with 8 baptisms and 10 confirmations.

Next Chapter

Mutual Ministry Review

Jesus sent his disciples out two-by-two to the towns he intended to go (Luke 10.1). He told them to live there, get to know the neighbors, and to share peace. He told them to be patient and don’t lose hope in the good news and to always remember that the kingdom of God is near. Christians have followed this model of ministry ever since. We are at a point where we must explore who we are and how we will face the reality that exists around us. We will do this by participating in a facilitated Mutual Ministry Review (MMR) over the next several months. I ask your prayers for this process and for your participation when requested. More information about specifics will be forthcoming.

As we engage our community and the culture of the Washington, DC metro area, we are faced with some stark realities. Our pledges have gone up over the past two years and we have more pledging families. We have an amazing music program led by Dr. Adele Lynch and we are told that our worship and educational offerings are spiritually engaging and relevant. We have amazing parishioners who will support each other in prayer and presence through good times and bad. We have one of the most up-to-date facilities in the Diocese and we have updated it over the past 10 years. Yet, fewer people are coming to worship on Sunday.

I’ve been at St. Patrick’s for ten years. In my first year here, we averaged 151 people every Sunday for worship. In my first full year (2011), our average Sunday attendance peaked at 189, the highest attendance numbers in the past 30 years. Every year since, we have fewer people coming to church of Sundays. In 2018, we averaged 107 people on a Sunday morning, and I expect that number will be less when we report to the Diocese about 2019.

Why has this happened? We have tried a variety of strategies to address a drop in Sunday attendance. We tried new service times and services that were directed at different demographics. We didn’t experience any growth. I adjusted the way that I preach. We didn’t see anything change. We have tried building stronger relationships through the Community Web and other affinity groups. We hired a part-time community life coordinator on a two-year trial basis. We have sent our mass mailings. None of these methods has resulted in more people engaging with St. Patrick’s.

I believe there are many factors. We have not adjusted to meet the needs of our neighborhood and the Episcopal Church is shrinking. One of those is something we address together and I hope will be the focus of the Mutual Ministry Review. The other is the reality that you may have read about in the paper. Mainline denominations are not keeping up. The Episcopal Church’s average Sunday attendance has dropped 24% since 2008. Our average Sunday attendance then was 151. It is now 107. Smaller churches, who have small professional staffs like St. Patrick’s, are the hardest hit.

St. Patrick’s has felt this crunch. As members leave, we are not replacing them with new people. That is not to say that we haven’t welcomed new people into our parish. We have most definitely and we are always looking for new ways to engage our neighbors. The Palisades is a pretty stable place, so it is hard to tap into new residents. We have tried mass mailing campaigns and have engaged with the Palisades Community Association. We tried to offer different types of services for different demographics (our 9am family service). None of these attempts resulted in increased membership. If anything, they resulted in holding steady. The most effective means to getting new members is for our current members to invite their friends and neighbors. We have not been able to make this happen in recent years.

These attendance trends are reflected in our pledge drive. Prior to the financial crisis, we peaked with pledges of $630,000 on 196 pledges in 2007. We hit a low in 2017 of $445,000 with 121 pledges. We have increased our pledges to $475,000 (2018) over the past two years. The goal for this year’s stewardship campaign is $500,000. We need more people to participate. As mentioned, we have tried a variety of initiatives to open up new opportunities for engagement in our neighborhood and to bring more people into the fold of the St. Patrick’s family, but with little effect. Granted, we are not alone. Several of our neighboring parishes are experiencing similar trends. What can we do to change our trajectory?

The Vestry is beginning a Mutual Ministry Review (MMR) to determine how we can better serve our parishioners and hopefully engage new people in ministry. Part of the MMR will be a survey of parishioners and people who regularly attend St. Patrick’s to determine the best ways to invite, welcome, and connect with people in doing God’s work.

St. Patrick’s has much to be thankful for. We have very committed members working every day to fulfill our mission: To Walk in Love as Christ Loves Us. We are providing spiritual food for all people no matter what. I am thankful for you. We have some tough work ahead of us, but we can do this together. We will, like those sent out in twos by Jesus, get to know our neighborhood and our neighbors and share the peace. St. Patrick’s is a place to gather, serve, and grow.

Financial Health of St. Patrick’s

The general fund budget is passed by the Vestry every year in June prior to the start of the fiscal year on July 1. The general budget covers employee compensation and benefits, day-to-day expenses for ministries, the maintenance of our facility, and the pledge to the Diocese for the ongoing work of the Church. St. Patrick’s raises and expends money for outreach efforts in a different fund. There is also a clergy discretionary fund that is used to help people in our community going through difficult times and people who come to St. Patrick’s seeking assistance. Last year, your clergy distributed over $55,000 through our discretionary funds. We are a positive contributor to the life of this city and it is thanks to your dedicated support.

The pie charts combine these funds into one graphic to show how St. Patrick’s cares for its financial resources. The first shows all the inflows. The primary income is from the pledges of our parishioners and secondly from fundraisers including the annual Rummage Sale (designated for outreach ministries) and Hoops for Haiti (fundraiser organized by the Day School faculty to support our partners in Haiti). The second chart shows how the money is expended. The largest amount of our expenses are designated to compensate our professional staff. St. Patrick’s Church has three full-time employees, several part-time employees including a bookkeeper, and maintenance salaries shared with the Day School all of which fall in this category. The top left section of the pie chart is the money that we designate to ministries outside of St. Patrick’s including our partner organizations in the DC metropolitan area and in Haiti, and our pledge to the Diocese of Washington, which supports the ministry efforts of the bishop. The outreach dollars constitute over 25% of our total expenditures. This spirit of generosity is a key hallmark of St. Patrick’s.

This is a quick summary of our financial health at St. Patrick’s. St. Patrick’s is audited annually, and the current audit (for the 2018-2019 fiscal year) will be presented to the Vestry this month. The numbers in these tables are reflective of the numbers prepared for that audit. If you would like to know more about the finances of St. Patrick’s, we can provide you with detailed financial reports at your convenience or please talk to the treasurer, Harry Teter.

Our team works very hard to efficiently use the resources entrusted to us to fulfill our mission. In 2015-16, we experienced an end-of-year loss due to several factors, but most especially a decrease in our pledge income. We adjusted our offerings to reflect the new reality. In 2018, we had $40,000 of increased pledges which resulted in a surplus of $46,000 at the end of the 2017-18 fiscal year. In our operative fund at the end of the 2018-19 years, we experienced a loss of just under $5000. That is balanced with a slight surplus in our outreach funds resulted in the net loss of $1,000 on these tables. The goal of the Vestry is to experience slight surpluses to pay down a deficit in our operating funds that built up over many years.

St. Patrick’s has a bright financial future thanks to you. We take your gift seriously and use it to fulfill God’s mission.

Vestry Candidate Biographies

Patrick Kean (Jr. Warden for the Day School) Patrick and his wife, Eliza, have been active members of St. Patrick’s Church and Day School communities for 15 years. Prior to finding strength, warmth, comfort, love and faith here, they attended St. Alban’s where they were married and where his two older daughters Avery and Louisa, both St. Patrick’s Day School graduates, were baptized. Both daughters were active in Jubilate Deo Choir, Classy group and served as acolytes. Their youngest daughter Lila actively participates in Godly Play, Jubilate Deo and Service Saturday activities. Eliza also served on the Vestry, Stewardship and Lay Committees.

A nephew of two catholic apostolic Sisters of Notre Dame, and son-in-law and brother-in-law of two Episcopal priests, Patrick has been influenced spiritually by seeing those around him engaged in the works of mercy and other ministries that take the Gospel to others where they are. Patrick shares a commitment to our ministry through Sunday services as well as ushering, serving on the Newcomer and Outreach Committees, participating in Service Saturday events and SOME activities, and serving on the Vestry as well as serving as Junior Warden for the Day School.

A graduate of Vassar College, Patrick is an urban planner and maintains a management consulting practice which focuses on affordable housing and government management and operations. During his career he managed the District of Columbia Public School’s transportation system and assisted in reforming the city’s once-troubled public housing program. During his time in hometown of , Patrick served as President and Co-Chair of Friends of the Shattuck Shelter and in his capacity served as a community and leadership volunteer for a nonprofit organization which offers services for men and women in Greater Boston who are experiencing homelessness. He chaired the Roslindale Chapter of the Boston Community Schools Board, a nonprofit organization which offered educational, cultural, social and recreational opportunities to all age groups through neighborhood-based services. He has been blessed to have been part of this special family and is honored to be considered again for Junior Warden for the School. 11

Julie Khuzami (Jr. Warden for the Church) Julie is a member of both the St. Patrick’s Church and Day school community. Her daughter Charlotte is a graduate of the Day School and was an active member of the Community Service Club, and the Classy group. Julie’s daughter Grace was a member of Music in Motion, and is now enjoying her more grown-up status as an active participant in the Jubilate Deo Choir. Julie’s husband Rob is a past Day School Trustee, serving on the Finance Committee.

A native Texan, Julie attended the University of Texas at Austin where she majored in . Julie lived in New York for more than 20 years where she had a rather, uh, interesting career path including stops at Essence Magazine, Lifetime television network, a stint as stage manager, dramaturge and producer for an independent theater company, a grants manager for the Rockefeller Foundation and finally, as a project manager for a new media company. Both of Julie’s daughters were born in New York. Much to the dismay of her family, Julie is an avid ukelele player, and she very much enjoys playing and singing with Grace and the St. Patrick’s Blue Grass Group in church.

Lalie Tongour (Sr. Warden) In 2003 Mike and Lalie discovered St. Patrick's while touring the preschool for their son Jack. They also had been searching for a warm family-friendly neighborhood parish and were immediately taken with St. Patrick's Church. Over the years, Lalie, Mike, and their three children Jack (19), Alec (17) and Stella (15) have enjoyed being active members in both the church and school community. And now, her wonderful "church lady" role model - her mother, Louise Chambers, has also joined our community.

Some of Lalie's stewardship/church activities include Sunday School teaching, Flower Guild, weekly Wednesday Bible Study, Newcomer's Committee, serving on a Seminarian lay committee, Vestry and participating in many outreach and community building events. These experiences have helped her clearly understand what makes us a caring community, for each other and for the world outside our church.

Baptized by her grandfather at Trinity Church (Parkersburg, WV); confirmed in her hometown parish, Church of Atonement (Tenafly, NJ); and married at St. Albans (Washington, DC) - Lalie has been raised in the Episcopal Church. After earning a BA in history at Furman University (Greenville, SC) she settled in DC where she met her husband, Mike. Her career path has taken her from marketing in book publishing to graphic design and branding. She is happy to continue service on the Vestry in the capacity of Sr. Warden.

JB Meek (Vestry) Growing up in the rural South, JB (like most) attended church every Sunday nearly without fail, but during his college years that record regrettably became somewhat tarnished. His parents admonished him upon graduation to get back in church, and it's a good thing they did: through his involvement with Episcopal choir and youth group, he met his wife, Kate, and a group of fellow young adults whose friendship has enriched all of their lives and those of their children for almost a quarter century now.

JB and Kate moved into the Kent neighborhood here in Washington in late 2001, and joined the St. Patrick's community when searching for a preschool program for their daughter, Alex, who attended St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School from PK-8, and is now in the 9th grade at The Potomac School. Their family feels a strong and warm connection to this educational and faith community which has brought so much to their lives here in the District.

12

Professionally, JB is a Managing Director at Widelity, a consulting firm, which provides network engineering and business advisory services to technology-driven clientele. He has served as a director of operations for the National Automobile Dealers Association, WellDoc, and MobileAccess Networks, and has built back office, planning, delivery, and support capabilities of companies to position them for successful exits. His experience includes standing up new business units and managing process engineering, operations, funding efforts, asset sales, and acquisitions. He holds a BA in Economics from Washington & Lee University, and in his limited spare time enjoys cycling, backpacking, golf, skiing, and most of all, grilling out. He is currently a member of the Vestry, and also serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the St. Andrew's Society of Washington, DC, and on the Scholarship Committee of the Charity & Education Fund. JB is humbled to be nominated to serve on the Vestry once more, and will strive to support the good works and important message of St. Patrick's.

Melanie Gilbert (Vestry) Melanie Gilbert has been a member of the St. Patrick's parish since 2014. Prior to joining St. Patrick's she was an active member at Mt. Olivet Methodist Church in Arlington, VA, where she and her family live. Melanie has volunteered at St. Patrick's as an usher, greeter, soloist, SOME casserole maker, pancake maker, and reader. She has a long association with the St. Patrick's Day School, serving as President of the Parents Association (PA) and on the Board of Trustees from 2011-2013. She served on the PA's executive committee from 2008-2013. Melanie is active with Horizons of Greater Washington and served on their Gala Host Committee from 2014- 2016. She was on the Executive Committee of the Christmas House Tour at St. Albans School from 2013-2015, and was Homecoming Co-Chair in 2015. Melanie is a board member of the Federal Real Property Association, and held numerous leadership roles with the Federal Bar Association throughout her career.

Melanie received her B.A. in Political Science and Theater in 1988 from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. She received her J.D. cum laude from New York Law School in 1991. For the last 27 years she has served as a senior attorney at the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts in progressively responsible roles. For the last 6 years, she has served as the senior executive responsible for the nearly $2 billion national federal court real estate, security, and emergency management portfolio. With nearly 80 employees, Melanie works with judges, Congress, GSA, and the Marshals Service on issues of importance to the federal courts nationally.

Melanie is married to Alan Gilbert (proud LSU alum) and has two children: Ethan who attended St. Patrick's through the sixth grade, St. Albans, and is now a junior at Boston College; and Margaret who is a senior at Bullis and also attended St. Patrick's Day School from Pre-Kindergarten through the eighth grade. Melanie is thrilled to be asked to serve a second term on the St. Patrick’s Vestry.

Tricia Duncan (Vestry) Tricia Duncan was born in Rota, Spain while her father was stationed there as a Navy pilot in the early . Later her family moved to Virginia Beach, VA and in elementary school her family moved to Arlington, VA where she graduated from high school.
