The Annual Meeting portion of the morning service was officially called to order at 10:36 a.m. by the Church Moderator, Jerry Gerkey. The Church Clerk, Martin Bartel, read the Warrant for the 260th Annual Meeting. Attending the meeting were 61 members of the Congregational Church of East Hampton, as well as an additional 7 non-members. A quorum was met with 21% of the total active membership of the Church as reported at the last Annual Meeting of the Church present. From the Annual Meeting agenda, the following items were discussed: Article I: To receive the reports of the church officers  Reports are available on paper at the church office, or on the Church’s website. There was no discussion or questions about the reports of the church officers. Article II: To receive the reports of various church organizations  Reports are available on paper at the church office, or on the Church’s website. There was no discussion about the reports of the various church organizations. Article III: To receive the report of the Nominating Committee regarding various vacancies and to elect the needed officers for the ensuing year  Pam Luchka has volunteered to fill the last opening in the Nominating Committee  Members should be aware of one remaining very important position remaining to be filled, that of Financial Secretary. We all recognize and give thanks to Greg Dainiak for the great work he has done as the Financial Secretary for the past three years. This position remains open, and Karen Gallmon proposed the option of having two people fill the position to share the work as co-Financial Secretaries. Greg will work with anyone during the transition period to ensure a smooth changeover.  Members should also be aware that there remains an opening for a member of the Finance Committee.  Members should also be aware that there remains an opening for a female member of the Diaconate (formerly the Board of Deacons).  Jerry Gerkey reminds the Congregation that the Bylaws allow any member to sit on multiple committees, as long as that member is not on the Church Council.  Karen Galmon also advises that the new positions begin 05/01/2009.  Jerry Gerkey entertains a motion to vote of the slate of officers. Debra Robinson made a motion to accept the slate of Church Officers, Committee members, and Sub-Committee members as proposed by the Nominating Committee, and the motion was seconded by Rae Strickland.  There was no further discussion and the motion passed unanimously. Article IV: To act upon proposed budget for the period January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009  Jerry Gerkey thanked the Financial Committee and the Church Treasurers for many meetings and undertaking this difficult task. He complemented them on their remarkable work in a short period of time.[6]  Steve Gephard, Chairperson of the Financial Committee, pointed out that there are several errors in the handouts provided by the Financial Committee. All the numerical values in all the rows are correct. However, some of the calculated numbers are incorrect. In the proposed 2009 budget column, the difference between income and expense should be $(35,887). In the column titled ‘40% cuts 2009’, the difference between income and expense should be $(1,972). Also, due to continued appeals, the amount of pledge income has been increased from $137,206 to $151,175.  Steve also notes that we should have an additional column added to the budget spreadsheet. The fist column is where the Financial Committee started with the original budget requests from the various Committees, and the second column is where we ended up after balancing income to expenses. Between those two columns should be additional information, the amount of budget requests that were denied and removed.  Steve also notes that the revises deficit is $21,917 after accounting for the additional pledge income gathers from continuing appeals.  Membership should be aware of the major cuts in office supplies and janitorial services in order to nearly balance the Church’s income to expenses. This is why the 2009 Annual Report and the revised Bylaws of the Congregational Church of East Hampton have not been printed for each attendee of this meeting. This is saving considerable paper as well as wear and tear on the touchy Riso Graph duplicating machine.  Most Building & Grounds Committee recommended projects have been deferred.  Jerry reports that as a Church the plan is to attempt to raise additional income and restore it to the items removed from the 2009 budget. The Finance Committee and Church Council will allocate the additional funds to specific budget line items.  Kevin Savage asks the question if the cuts reflect the new pledge amounts. Steve Gephard replies no. The current budget to approve uses original pledge amounts and 40% cuts. The immediate effect of the additional pledges will be to erase the deficit from the budget, and any remaining funds will be allocated to specific line items.  Dave Kneeland points out to the meeting attendees that the differences in amounts provided from the Church budget to COSA are significant. Tom Kennedy also relates that the usual monies allocated to the UCC Connecticut Conference and also to the ‘One Great Hour of Sharing’ campaign have also been removed from the budget.  Jed Dolde asks if any funds have been provided to or allocated to the Silver Lake Capital Campaign. Tom Kennedy replies that the status of capital campaign for Silver Lake is not known at this time. The campaign had requested that this Church contribute approximately $13,000, but no money has been remitted yet and none is provided in this budget. The Silver Lake Capital Campaign is aware that economic times are tough, and have not been pushing our Church for a commitment. Tom theorizes that the Capital construction program for Silver Lake may be slowed and extended in time.  Jerry Gerkey entertains a motion to vote on budget.  There is a point of clarification by Kevin Savage: which budget are we voting on? Jerry Gerkey replies that the budget to be voted on is the “40% cut budget” column on the printed materials, with a difference between income and expenses of $(1,972).  Church Treasurer Ben Lewis notes to the attendees that the Board of Christian Education budget endowment is approximately 40% reduced in earnings. The Board of Christian Education is withdrawing about 8% of the principle. Rick Berkenstock also points out that the Housing Fund is also withdrawing approximately 8% as well.  Mark Edwards informs the attendees that the Church has two endowment funds. The ‘CE Fund’ was in Hartford Steam Boiler stocks, and this company was purchased by AIG, the American International Group. AIG was one of the first financial institutions to suffer a crisis and was bailed out by the U.S. Government, however, the value of its stock declined by nearly 95%. The other investment fund is a Money Market fund, which has fared better but still dropped nearly 40% in value.[7]  Deb Robinson asks where the CE money come from for this year? Steve Gephard answers that the line item shows an amount of $12,269 from the endowment.  Steve Gephard asks rhetorically why the Financial Committee is proposing the budget as shown, without considering the increase in pledge amounts. He asks for all to notice the total expenses near the bottom of the report, for both 2007 and 2008. Either way, we are going to have a deficit and we will have to close that deficit. The Financial Committee directed the Committees to spend the lesser amount of money so that if we do not raise the additional funds, we do not even have a larger deficit. If the Financial Committee recommended a vote for the pre-cut budget, there is a most likely chance that the deficit will be even higher. The Financial Committee is taking the more conservative approach, and will use additional funds to backfill specific line items cut from the original requests.  Karen Evertson makes the motion to accept the 40% cut budget for 2009, and Greg Dainiak seconds the motion on the floor.  Jerry Gerkey asks the meeting attendees if there is further discussion, and David Gates asks if the Church Council or Financial Committee has ideas on how to bridge the deficit of between $2,000 and $21,000? Karen Evertson responds that the Intentional Giving Committee is meeting this week to discuss additional appeals and fundraising and to lay out a plan. Tom Kennedy also points out that there will likely be a second battery of appeals for intentional giving pledges.  Jennifer Berkenstock asks a question about fundraising events. Will additional fundraising be required in addition to the Silent Auction, Fall Fair, etc.? Jerry Gerkey answers that it is very likely. Jennifer is concerned about fundraising burnout, and several other members agree.  Karen Gallmon indicates that there is the potential to have a spring dinner and summer barbeque to raise funds.  Allison Daley asks if there have been any consideration of charging a modest amount for Sunday school materials or asking for donations. Jerry Gerkey replies that the CE Committee can consider this.  Nancy Crouch notes to the attendees that the annual Silent Auction brings in from $18,000 to $20,000 of income. She appeals to Congregation for additional support and high value items in order to increase this potential income.  Nancy Dolde proposes the idea that perhaps we should have list of donations needed for Church and CE programs, and the list be posted so that theses items can be signed up for.  David Gates responds that he is concerned that we are directing our energies toward two specific areas of Church. He asks if we think about the whole big picture, the whole Church.  Jill Walker agrees with David Gates, we do not want to become a ‘special interest congregation’. If we can meet the deficit, then any additional funds collected can be split to many different areas of the Church.  Mavis Gee comments that her job is a Court Mediator, and she frequently helps people save their homes when they are in bankruptcy. She is also a member of the Financial Committee. Mavis appeals to congregation to help take care of our Church home.  Billie Gerkey recommends that we vote on the budget.  Tom Kennedy invited the Congregation to take several minutes for silent prayer and reflection on the budget.  Jerry Gerkey, the Church Moderator, asked the assembled membership if there was any further discussion regarding the 2009 budget proposal. There being none, he called for a vote on the topic.  The vote passed the 2009 budget unanimously.Article V: To vote of the amended bylaws of the Congregational Church of East Hampton.  Jerry Gerkey, the Church Moderator, started the discussion on the changes to the existing Bylaws. A summary sheet of changes was provided to attendees of the Annual Meeting.[8]  Terry Schlosser made a motion to pass to the altered Bylaws. Karen Evertson seconded the motion to accept the modified Bylaws.  During discussion, David Gates asked what Article 29 of the Bylaws means. Jerry Gerkey replied that Article 29 defines that Policies are rules of the Church prior to them being potentially added as a rule in the Bylaws. In the case of our current Bylaws, the only policy we have relates to the use of the buildings and grounds.  Lance Crouch asks what are Principle Committees? The Principle Committees are listed in Article 11, the section regarding the Church Council. The Principle Committees are: the Diaconate, the Christian Education Committee, the Christian Outreach and Social Action Committee, the Finance Committee, the Building and Grounds Committee, the Intentional Giving Committee, and the Music Committee The two new Principle Committees are the Building and Grounds Committee and the Intentional Giving Committee.  Lance Crouch also asks for clarification of membership on Committees for non-members? Non- members can be members of any Sub-Committee, either standing or temporary. They also may be members of any Committee that is not a Principle Committee.  There being no further discussion, Jerry Gerkey called for a vote on the acceptance of the revised Bylaws of the Congregational Church of Eat Hampton.  The vote passed without dissention. Article VI: To transact any other business that may properly come before said meeting.  Jerry Gerkey queries the attendees if there was any further business to discuss.  There were no topics brought up by any of the Congregation in attendance There being no other business to transact, Church Moderator Jerry Gerkey, entertained a motion to the membership present to adjourn the meeting. Debra Robinson made the motion to adjourn the meeting, and Karen Evertson seconded the motion. There was no discussion and the motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 11:42 a.m. on January 25, 2009.Respectfully Submitted, Martin Bartel, Church Clerk January 28, 2009[9] Ministry of the Connecticut Conference, UCC, in 2009As the year began, the metaphoric skies overhead were gray and stormy. The international economy was in full crisis, and the value of the Conference’s Consolidated Trust Fund had fallen by nearly 25%. As the nation inaugurated a new President, the Conference reported a 17% increase in the free breakfasts served by volunteers at the First Congregational Church UCC in New London. Though investments would recover some of their value by the end of the year, unemployment continued to rise, reaching 10.2% nationally and 8.8% in the state by October. Connecticut’s cities suffered disproportionately: unemployment in Bridgeport, East Hartford, Hartford, Killingly, Meriden, New Britain, New Haven, Plainfield, Torrington, Waterbury, and Windham exceeded the national rate.The Connecticut Conference and its churches labored to meet the developing needs. Pastors and lay leaders shared and inquired of each other as they created programs and ministries, which were offered to the Conference as a whole through the These Times series of stories in ConnTact and on ctucc.org/thesetimes. The Spring Session of the Annual Meeting included a conversation opportunity on responses to the recession, led by Conference Minister the Rev. Dr. Davida Foy Crabtree and Moderator the Rev. Mark Abernethy.Though some local churches reported no reduction in giving from their members (and a few reported gains), others found the anxieties of the time and the reduced circumstances of their members reflected in the offering plate. The Conference saw corresponding shortfalls in Our Church’s Wider Mission Basic Support. In September, Dr. Crabtree informed the churches through ConnTact that giving was down 14%. As year-end contributions come in, Conference leaders believe that OCWM income will be down between 9 and 10% for 2009.The crisis forced difficult decisions in April. The Conference cut over $55,000 from program and administrative budgets, closed the office for an unpaid furlough for all staff in August, and required senior staff to take a second week’s furlough. At the Fall Session of the Annual Meeting in October, delegates authorized a Special Commission on Conference Sustainability to study current and alternative models for funding the Conference’s ministry. The Commission will first meet in January.The Conference bid farewell to two Regional Ministers in the summer of 2009: the Rev. Lois Happe of the Eastern Region retired, and the Rev. Susan Townsley of the Fairfield County Region accompanied her husband to his assignment in Japan. In the fall, the Rev. Susan Tarolli and the Rev. Sarah Verasco joined the staff as half-time Eastern and Fairfield Country Transitional Regional Ministers respectively.Patricia R. Bjorling began her work as Associate Conference Minister for Generosity Ministries on April first, embarking on a whirlwind series of workshops, addresses, and meetings with local church leaders. Archivist the Rev. Evans Sealand retired in October, and was succeeded by the Rev. John Van Epps. Campaign Coordinator Beverly Hughes also retired in October. [10] Silver Lake welcomed 1,120 conferees from 167 churches to 38 conferences this summer, and 3,497 guests during the 2008-2009 retreat season. The new Hillside Commons and two cabins were dedicated in September, and a new Commons building for Cabin Circle began to rise in the fall. Partners in Service Volunteers Mary and Bill Ruth brought abundant energy to their work with alumni/ae lists and database integration. Acting Registrar Diane Ciba brought her welcome experience to the camp office throughout the year.The Rev. Da Vita “Day” McCallister continued building youth and young adult ministries, with the first gatherings of Young Adults for service and conversation, and foundation of several Give2 chapters for youth. At Silver Lake during the summer she urged conferees to consider the call of God, and whether they might want to “work for God for a living.”United Church News, the national newspaper of the UCC, ceased print publication in September, and in November the Conference published its first independent edition of ConnTact since 1986. The Conference plans four issues of ConnTact in 2010, supplemented by coverage at ctucc.org, as it completes a media research project to guide future decisions.The Spring Session of the Annual Meeting drew over 400 people to Asylum Hill Congregational Church UCC in Hartford to explore the Church’s role in Health and Healing: blessing prayer shawls, seeking healing prayers, and hearing the challenge to bring universal health care to Connecticut from Juan Figueroa. He returned to the fall meeting, to congratulate the Conference and celebrate the passage of Connecticut’s SustiNet law. Delegates had voted a resolution seeking universal coverage at the fall 2007 Annual Meeting. Their long-established opposition to the death penalty had some fruit, with the first passage of a capital punishment abolition bill in the state’s General Assembly, regrettably vetoed by the governor.The Fall Session turned the over 500 attendees’ attention to the Sacred Conversations on Race. Delegates engaged in facilitated discussions during the gathering; those facilitators are now the core of the Conference’s Sacred Conversations Team which will develop further programming in the coming year. “I am leaving a little less cynical,” reported one. Said another, “Conversations must go on.”The 2009 General Association celebrated the 300th anniversary of that regular gathering of clergy, the oldest in the nation, with addresses from outgoing UCC President the Rev. John Thomas and Conference Minister Crabtree. The latter used her research into the Association’s history of concern for the welfare of the state’s people to encourage the Conference in considering challenging ministries in the future.As the Conference’s delegation prepared for June’s General Synod XXVII in Grand Rapids, Michigan, they received word that Dr. Crabtree would not be accompanying them. Though she had recovered well from her treatment for breast cancer earlier in the year, her husband David Hindinger had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Staff, leaders, and church members around the Conference and the UCC raised new prayers for their household, including a rapped greeting from the floor of Synod by Board of Directors Chair the Rev. Sandy Koenig and youth delegate Mark Stevenson.General Synod elected the Rev. Geoffrey Black as the new General Minister and President of the denomination, and the Rev. Steve Sterner as executive of Local Church Ministries. Black keynoted the Fall Session of the Annual Meeting, and Sterner is one of the two keynoters for the Spring Session of the 2010 meeting. And in a great honor, Watertown’s Jim Robertson, Moderator of the Conference, was elected Moderator of the 2011 General Synod in Tampa, Florida.In 2010, the Conference brings its attention to the vitality of the local congregation – the basic unit of the Church’s life – with new programs being developed and the Spring Session of the Annual Meeting. Work on [11] generosity education, communication, Sacred Conversations, youth and young adult ministries, resource collection, Christian Education support, and care for authorized ministries of the UCC will continue. In the midst of it all, the Conference looks to the guidance of a gracious and Still Speaking God, to bring light and warmth to Christ’s people beneath the clouds and storm.[12] ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PASTOR FOR 2009 “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 As we embark upon the new year of 2010 I use the same scripture verse that I used in my 2009 annual report because I believe that it is an apt description of our past year and hopefully for the year that is now lying before us. All things did work for good in the year just ended for us in the church, for a faith community which loves God and is called according to God’s purpose. The year just completed was financially challenging because of the economy. 2010 sees us going into the third year of an economic downturn that some experts say is ending, but with high unemployment and lack of confidence among consumers, two economic indicators that have a direct impact upon the membership of our church, one can only hope that the pundits are correct, and that better fiscal times are ahead. Our investments did much better this year, but given that they had slid into a deep hole at the end of 2008, the hole is only much shallower; they are still in a hole. Many thanks to the diligence of Mark Edwards and Edwards and Edwards Financial Services for being good stewards of those funds that have been entrusted to this church by saints who have long since passed on to their eternal reward. We can all hope that those investments continue to grow and climb out of the hole so that in the future the church will be able to utilize some of the growth of those funds for future mission opportunities. I also want to extend a sincere thank you to all of you who have contributed to this church of your time, treasure, and talent in the past year. You, moved by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and your love of God, Christ, and this church, have made possible the thriving of this church despite the severe cutbacks the church had to make to its mission endeavors through its budget. Yes, we cut our budget by forty percent, but you responded with a generous special Easter offering, which did much to restore many of those cuts. It made for an inspirational Easter season and year. In terms of my own statistics, I had 223 pastoral calls throughout the year, comprising phone calls, counseling sessions, and visits in residences, convalescent homes and hospitals. I held thirteen funerals, and one of them was for a church member. We lost to the Church Triumphant Grace Hall, at ninety-six years of age. I had eleven baptisms for the year. We welcomed Keumok Heo last year, and she has completed a full church program year with us. The church has deeply appreciated her musical gifts bestowed upon our chancel choir, bell choir, young person’s choir and youth band, and youth instrumentalists and ensembles. As we look ahead, the choir has already begun rehearsing for a cantata which will be held on Easter Sunday this year. We had a successful Spring Open-Air Market, Silent Auction, Golf Tournament and Fall Festival, now in its third year of planning already. We also had a successful Seeds of Hope trip to our UCC Mission center in Biloxi, Mississippi, where our group worked amidst great heat and humidity painting and tiling floors, etc. in neighborhood homes, helping to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. Our group was the first one to utilize the just-rebuilt dormitories at the mission center after the original ones were wiped out by the hurricane. As we look ahead to the year 2010 many challenges await us, but I know that we will persevere in our calling to do mission in East Hampton and in the world, on behalf of Jesus Christ. In my fourteenth year as your pastor, it is as always a deep privilege to serve at the Congregational Church of East Hampton, and I eagerly look forward to new opportunities to do ministry in partnership with you in 2010. Faithfully submitted, Tom Kennedy[13] 2009 ANNUAL REPORT – CHURCH CLERK New Members: We welcomed thirteen new members into our fellowship in 2009.

Thanks to the membership even though our pledging units have gone down, the average pledge has gone up allowing us to at least maintain our reduced budget. o The Finance, Building and Grounds, and Intentional Giving were the three new committees that were formed during the year.Respectfully submitted,Jerry GerkeyModerator~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moderator I have enjoyed the position of Moderator for the last three years and was able to be a part of many changes in our church. I wish to thank all the council members and the representatives from other committees that attended the council meetings.  A major rewrite of the By-Laws. Replace the old very hungry furnace. Brought the computers and software in church up to date.[16]  Revamped the Stewards committee to form three new committees. Installed energy efficient lighting. Replaced old hot water tank with energy efficient gas water heater. Witness the retirement of long time music director and office manager, Carol Westcote. Welcomed new office manager, Ann Buracchi. Welcomed new music director, Keumok Heo.Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity. Jerry Gerkey[17] Director of Music Annual Church Report for 2009When I looked back last year, there was nothing but a big “thank you” to all choir members, soloists, instrumentalists, staff, music committee members and congregation. The Senior Choir has sung every Sunday except the Summer break in addition to Maundy Thursday, Plum Pudding Festival and Christmas Eve. The practice time has been increased the last two years and the members have attended both practices (Thursdays and Sunday mornings) in spite of their busy schedules. Some of the Senior Choir members sang as a soloist and/or duet. Many of them also did in Summer during the choir’s absence. The music ministry is lucky enough to have instrumentalists who also played last year including in Summer. The Bell Choir has performed regularly including the Plum Pudding Festival. The Bell Choir also accompanied the Senior Choir twice. The Youth Band has played on Youth Sunday and Plum Pudding Festival. Its existence is a future of our church’s music ministry. The Children’s Choir sang on Mother’s Day and Plum Pudding Festival. Their cuteness level was so high that everyone loved their performance. The Men’s Choir sang for the Father’s Day. Although they had only one Thursday practice, they were very confident and did very well. I am planning to have them this Father’s Day again. Although the Youth Woodwind Ensemble worked hard for the Pageant, they could not play due to the weather condition on that Sunday. Hopefully, they will be featured soon this year. I was also happy to provide my arranged pieces to fit the choirs’ needs. Another piano was donated which is located in the fellowship hall and the electronic piano was moved to the lounge. The choir has more places to practice. In this annual report, people who contributed to the music program last year are not mentioned otherwise this report is never going to end. In 2010, I am hopeful that more people will get involved and share their talents to continue our long history of the music ministry.Respectively submitted, Keumok Heo, Director of music[18] 2009 ANNUAL REPORT—BOARD OF DEACONSThe Diaconate assisted Reverend Kennedy in the Sunday and special services in 2009. The Diaconate coordinated pastoral coverage during Reverend Kennedy’s vacation in the summer and on the last Sunday of December. We coordinated the meal for the Maundy Thursday Service. The service was well attended and spiritually moving. The Diaconate also provided a breakfast on Easter morning in Fellowship Hall after the Sunrise service. We distributed Easter lilies to shut-ins.We altered the Sunday service by moving announcements to coffee hour open mike so as to concentrate the time in the sanctuary on spiritual matters & thoughts.During the summer we worked with the Music Committee to coordinate the Sunday Services. The Rev. Robert McNaughton and Rev. Eric Anderson led us in the July services.In September some of the Deacons attended a workshop in Deep River, “What effective deacons have discovered”. We learned what other churches do and shared some of our practices with the other Deacons.Thanks to the committee’s teamwork (especially Marianne Kelsey) we ran the “Deacon’s Bench” at the annual Church Fair.The Diaconate decorated the Sanctuary for the Advent Season and participated in the Christmas Eve Service. We distributed Advent flowers to shut-ins.In summary, our main duties during the year include assisting Tom with each service as liturgists and attending to other details (prayer requests, getting greeters, acolytes, etc.), assisting in monthly communion, overseeing coffee hour and supplies, baptisms, and a few funerals. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our God.Respectfully submitted, John Hage, Chairman[19] Intentional Giving Annual report for 20092009 continued to be a year of difficult fundraising on behalf of the Church, as a result of the economic downturn. Our committee would like to thank those that were able to continue their support of the Church and our prayers go out to those that still find themselves in difficult circumstance.Intentional Giving undertook two separate efforts during 2009. Our first effort was an attempt to close the shortfalls in 2008 pledges that hampered our programming and missions. Our 2009 budget was forced to contract about 40% from prior years. During Easter a “Challenge of Discipleship” was issued to our congregation with a surprisingly generous offering of $6,593.00. This helped offset 2008’s shortfalls and prevent any further cuts.Our fall pledge campaign, which we called a “Journey of Faith”, raised $147,378, with a total of 110 families or individuals contributing to the total. We gained five new pledge units from last years reporting, but are still down about 30 families from our peak years.During this years “Journey” we asked those on the routes to add artwork to their document folders and these were on display in Fellowship Hall. The folders returned quite artfully changed and brought smiles and compliments to all.We would like to thank all who have worked on these, together, our largest fundraisers over the course of the year. Deb Robinson worked over the course of the summer revising our routes (which had not been updated for several years.), updating member information and producing information distributed to the congregation. Thanks to Jerry Gerkey, Tom Kennedy and Jill Walker for their assistance on both projects. Thanks to Liz Whitty for her advice and special thanks also to Ann Buracchi, our Church secretary, for her above and beyond support during these drives.Respectfully submitted Bill and Karen Everton - On behalf of the Intentional Giving Committee Deb Robinson Jerry Gerkey Bill Evertson Karen Evertson[20] BOARD OF CHRISTIAN OUTREACH & SOCIAL ACTION (COSA) ANNUAL REPORT 2009The Board of Christian Outreach and Social Action (COSA) supported the following Community and Global Missions in 2009.

A total of $3,959 was collected with the proceeds distributed to Church World Service and the East Hampton Food Bank. COSA was in charge of the luncheon for the Church Fair. Delicious homemade soup was served.November – The Thanksgiving Basket Food Collection was delivered to the East Hampton Food Bank along with loaves of bread baked by Carol Mandigo and her helpers.December – COSA was able to fulfill many children’s Christmas wishes with the help of our generous congregation. Gifts were provided to the Department of Children and Families as well as the Family Advocacy of Middlesex Hospital. New winter coats were delivered to the East Hampton Food Bank. Monetary donations of $100 each were made to Middlesex Hospital Chaplaincy Program, New Horizons Women’s Shelter, Mercy Housing, Eddy Shelter, Seeds of Hope, Interfaith Refugee Ministry, Family Advocacy, and The Connection.Non-perishable food is collected each month and delivered to the East Hampton Food Bank.COSA would like to thank the congregation for their contributions during the past year. The church family has generously supported all the outreach missions that COSA has coordinated. With God’s helping hand and the continued support of our congregation, COSA will continue to help spread our mission of community outreach and social action both locally and worldwide.Respectfully submitted, Cyndi Shirshac, Chairperson[21] Music Committee Report – 2009 This report summarizes the activities of the Music Committee and recognizes several acts of Christian generosity in 2009 from which our church’s music ministry has benefited. The church received two generous donations of pianos this year. Early in the year, Deb Mearmon donated a Suzuki digital piano that belonged to Deb's late mother Wanda Haydasz-Mearmon, who enjoyed playing the piano in her home. The church in late 2009 received from Laurie Wyman and her family a Baldwin spinet piano in memory of Laurie’s late father, Curtis H. Barney, who owned the piano and who was a member of our church and sang in the Senior Choir for many years. Thanks again to both families for these generous and thoughtful donations. The Music Committee would like to thank Art Marsden for his tireless efforts in coordinating the rebinding of our Pilgrim Hymnals, a project made possible through the generosity of the estate of the late Albert Bailey Jr. that was completed in 2009. It had been Albert’s desire to fund the rebinding of our Pilgrim Hymnals. Special thanks to Kathy Stott and her family for making this special donation to the church in memory of Albert. The newly rebound hymnals were in place at the start of our fall season for Homecoming Sunday and Pastor Tom led a rededication ceremony of the Pilgrim Hymnals in memory of Albert during worship on September 27, followed by a cake reception in Fellowship Hall. The committee again welcomed the Heartbeat Dixieland Jazz Band to our Church for our Fifth Annual Jazz Sunday, held on February 8th. The Committee would like to thank all church members, friends and others who supported our Rummage and Tag Sales. Income from the Rummage Sale was donated to the general church fund to help offset the 2009 deficit, whereas funds from the Tag Sale were retained for use in supporting our music ministry. The Music Committee hosted our popular annual Plum Pudding Festival, which included singing and ringing by the Youth Band, Children’s Choir, Bell Choir, and Senior Choir, and caroling by all who attended. The year ended with a wonderful Christmas Eve Service featuring the Senior Choir and soloists. The Committee thanks all who leant their musical gifts by singing, ringing, or playing for our services and other events. In addition to the Senior and Bell Choirs, 2009 also featured at times singing and instrumental soloists, a Children’s Choir, Men’s Choir, Youth Band, and Children’s Woodwind Ensemble, the latter of which was prepared to play during Christmas Pageant, which unfortunately had to be canceled due to a snow storm. The committee is especially grateful to all of the new singers, ringers and instrumentalists, young and old, who joined to support our music program this past year. Special thanks are offered to Shelby Zaborowski for providing child care on Sunday mornings during Senior Choir rehearsal. This is a wonderful service to our church that has enabled parents with young children to participate in our music ministry. We thank the supply organists who helped us this year; Donna Arseneault, Maryann McCary, and Ed Clark. It is noted that the Annual Church Budget provided no finding for supply organists. In that the Committee felt strongly that every Sunday Service should include the beautiful sounds of our pipe organ, funds for supply organists were allocated from the committee’s savings. In 2009 the Music Committee again consulted with John Westcote, who continues to donate his time and talents toward completion of our pipe organ. At this time it is anticipated that John’s care of the organ will be completed in 2010. Thanks to John for his continued dedication to the pipe organ project. The Music Committee would like to thank all members of our congregation and friends of the church who have supported our music ministry over the past year Finally –on behalf of the committee and choirs - we offer enthusiastic, respectful, and melodious thanks to Keumok Heo, our Director of Music, whose tremendous talents, patience, and deep rooted Christian faith are guiding the growth of our church’s musical ministry to new dimensions. All are welcome to join in our musical journey of faith in the day, weeks, and years ahead. Respectfully submitted, Pete Aarrestad and Lynda Tinney, Co-chairs[22] Boy Scout Troop 57 2009 Annual ReportThe Troop renewed its Charter in February with 18 of the active boys, and recruited 7 new members from cub scouts, for a total of 25 boys. The adult ranks continues strong with a total of 4 active leaders and a strong committee with 12 members (9 of whom are regular attendees at out monthly meetings)During this year we held our usual six bottle drives, sold popcorn and raised funds for the summer trip (to Kentucky’s Mammoth Caves in August) by participating in the town-wide tag sale and holding a second pancake breakfast. Due to conflicts and weather re-scheduling, we only attended one of the three district camporees. But as a Troop there were seven campouts and several Saturday hikes, as wells as helping as staff at cub scout events such as “Gold Rush” and “Haunted Woods”. Summer camp at Mattatuck was the usual good time and opportunity for advancement. Speaking of which, the Troop recognized it’s 16th Eagle Scout in February.The Troop meets weekly through out the year on Tuesdays at 7pm and thanks the church for its support and the use for special events like the tag sale and breakfast, and especially for the Christmas “camp-in” in December.Respectfully submitted, Peter G.

With lay-offs, loss of income, and diminishing investments, pledges and donations seem to be down at all churches. Yet the expenses of operating and maintaining a church remain as does the mission of the church.This committee has been committed to presenting balanced budgets but it was unable to do so for 2009. Even after slashing most committees’ budgets by a whopping 40%, we still passed a budget that would require a special Easter Offering to close the gap. We also worried about collecting all of the pledges because in recent years members have tended not to send in their weekly pledges during the summer when they are not attending church and then fail to ‘make up the difference’ in the fall when they return. This means that our income is always less than expected. So we held our breath (and held our nose) and passed the hopeful budget. In December, it looked like we were going to fall considerably short due to those unsubmitted pledges and an appeal was raised. The congregation responded and practically all of the pledges were realized! Unfortunately, a large portion of them were received by the treasurer after December 31, when the books must be closed for the year. Therefore, our books show that we ended $4,366 in the red but with those late pledges we were only about $25 in the red. The rest of that money will be carried forward into the 2010 budget year. At year’s end, we are very pleased to report that it appears we ended 2009 with a deficit of only $25.68! (0.01% of our budget)Ending the year balanced is quite an accomplishment for a non-profit church in this economic climate. How did we do it? First, our special Easter offering (the “Deficit Reduction Campaign” run by the indefatigable Intentional Giving Committee) surpassed its goal and enabled us to even restore some of the budget cuts. Next, members fulfilled their pledges at a greater rate than usual. [Some members arranged with their bank to have their weekly pledges automatically withdrawn and sent to the church. Ask us how to do it!] The weekly offerings in the plates were up; income from fund-raisers (e.g. Old Home Day, Spring Fair, the Golf tournament) were up; facility rental fees were up; and several expenses were down as committees worked hard to pinch pennies. Everyone’s contributions are appreciated.The church funds that are invested in the stock market kick back dividends to the operational budget to help pay for our programs. Those funds lost about 40% in 2008 and that reduced what could be used in our 2009 budget. The committee can report that in 2009, those funds recovered some of their value. They did not regain their pre-2008 value but they are headed back up again. For example, the Sunday School Endowment that funds our Christian Education program dropped from $250,000 to $150,000 but is now up to about $186,000. We must remember that because we slashed our budget, important things did not get done. We cut back on custodial and maintenance work, we did not initiate much needed work on our organ and piano, our hard- working staff did not get cost-of-living increases, and COSA’s outreach to the community—a basic tenet of a Christian organization—was greatly diminished. Looking ahead for next year, the number of members who pledged and the amount of money pledged went down for 2010.  We can survive another lean year but we need to stop thinking about just surviving.
