NOTE: We often struggle to have a quorum present for our Council Meeting. We appreciate the fact that you trust the church board, deacons, staff and finance committee and other leadership groups in the church to make good decisions, but we are required by Internal Revenue to have a congregational meeting once a year and the Brethren In Christ denomination requires us to have a quorum of our membership present, which they have set at 20% of our membership. Since there are 414 members of Pequea Church we must have 83 members of voting age in attendance before we may conduct an official annual congregational meeting. Please plan to be present.

February 13, 2011SENIOR PASTOR’S REPORT This is the fourteenth annual pastor’s report I have written since I came to Pequea as the Senior Pastor in 1997. They have been challenging and exciting years as we have put our shoulders to the passion of Pequea Church to “transform lost people into fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ” by bringing people to Believe, Grow, Serve and Share. Hundreds of people have been involved at realizing the growth of God’s Kingdom by using their time, talents and treasure in our Master’s service. Through the year we have precariously maneuvered our scheduling to manage as much program ministry as we could out of our crowded facility. The beginning of the Wednesday evening service fifteen months ago created extra room in the auditorium for more people on Sunday morning but did not alleviate the crowded classroom space on either Sunday morning or Wednesday evening. In spite of that many new courses were shared that made a big difference to those who attended. I rejoice in the strong Christian growth that I have seen in many people in the last year. For several years many of us have prayed for the Church Board of Directors as they have searched for suitable land on which to relocate the Pequea congregation. They were not able to find a suitable property to present to you in 2010. At a recent Board of Directors meeting, as we talked about the economic slowdown that we are experiencing, a board member said that we must remember we are preparing for thirty years. We need to plan for the long haul, so the quest for suitable property will continue. The economy has slowed down, but the General Fund offerings increased by more than $40,000.00. Our General Fund offerings have increased over the former year for at least the past fourteen years. More money was also given to the Benevolence Fund than any year in our history. We also rejoice that the Parking Lot mortgage was completely paid off in December of 2010. A Kitchen Building Committee has been planning on a kitchen addition that would house a complete kitchen to advance the capabilities over the catering kitchen that was built in 2000. Information on this will come to the congregation as soon as the committee has a plan for you to consider. My thanks go to all the Church Board members, but especially to those who are completing their present ministry on the church board: Brian Hess, Andrew Lefever and Joel Long. They have all given dedicated service. Joel has served beyond the call of duty in the treasurer position for the past five years. As we look to the future I am very pleased that almost 300 people have taken the 3.6.5 Challenge to read the Bible through in 2011. May God remake us all as we read his Story.

Pastor Dale Shaw



February 13, 2011FAMILY MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT

Xtreme Youth It was a busy year in Xtreme Youth. We implemented new software and computers in the fall to allow for computerized check-in and better attendance tracking. From mid-September to the end of the year we found that over 300 students, leaders and guests came through the Xtreme Youth program. We’ve changed our programming to better accommodate the students in our facility. Junior High now meets on Thursday nights from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. and Senior High meets on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. We are also adding worship time for our senior high students on Sunday morning prior to their time in small groups. Our fund raisers went well in 2010, which included the Spaghetti Dinner, Egg Making and the Auction. We are ending the year with over $30,000 in our account. We sent over 30 people on mission trips this past summer. Eleven teens and leaders went to Indiana where they performed a VBS and did work projects for a BIC church. Our junior high group did local missions work, basing themselves at the church for several days and going into the community to perform acts of service. Twenty-two people went to YouthQuest in Toronto over the holidays where they gathered with other teens from across the denomination to worship and learn about God. Throughout the year we have continued to provide a Bible club known as ‘Xtreme South’ for Marticville Middle School. The club meets during the regular school day. Students enjoyed a number of special activities during the year, such as slip-n-slide nights, messy game competitions, lock-ins, campouts and more. We continue to look for ways to serve in our community. Xtreme Senior High has committed to serve breakfast at Water Street Rescue Mission once a month. Brian Hess finished his service as Director of Junior High at the end of the year. Mark and Joy Mitchell will take over his role. Brian will continue to be a part of the ministry. Xtreme Youth benefited from the work of three interns over the course of the year: Justin Shepps, Tyler Barnett and Nate Kreider.

Family Ministry During the course of the year the family ministry team met to make sure that the preschool, children’s and youth ministries worked together in a cohesive manner. We continue to review the best ways to protect our children, recruit volunteers and promote events that celebrate family.

Pastoral Ministry During the year I worked with a number of families and individuals on life issues. I had the opportunity to work with several couples on planning their weddings. I had the opportunity to preach at Pequea 15 times during the main services in 2010. I spoke on a variety of topics, including series on Jonah, prayer and the Middle East. Pastor Robert Brody



February 13, 2011 WORSHIP PASTOR’S REPORT Each year at this time, I pause to reflect back on what I’ve experienced and felt in the ministry setting for the last twelve months. This year feels different to me, in hindsight. I cannot point to any real “low points” in the year because I am overwhelmed with the good things that God is doing in us and among us at Pequea Church. I feel incredibly blessed to be among people who love God and desire to serve Him; at the same time I know that the good things we have experienced together are not because we made them happen, but because God has blessed and equipped us. Our weekly services have included some wonderful elements to aid in worship and communicate God’s truth. We learned new songs, watched insightful videos and dramas (some original to our church), heard inspiring faith stories from people in the church, and worshiped through dance and Scripture readings. I’ve made an effort to include more Scripture in various forms so that, as a congregation, we can interact with God’s Word outside of the preaching time. Special events in 2010 included the Love Feast worship service before Easter (which included footwashing and communion), and morning communion services. Both were extremely meaningful times of worship for those who were there; it’s my hope that these events will be even better attended in the coming year. These services (along with our weekly services) also gave some opportunities to hear some talented guest musicians from within and outside the church. We continue to strive for variety and creativity in the music we present during our services. I was also given the opportunity to preach more this year, completing my first-ever multi-week series called “Dangerous Jesus.” It was a lot of work preparing several messages in a row, but I feel it was worthwhile – not only did many people give me feedback on how meaningful those messages were, but I learned a lot about sermon preparation in the process. I do enjoy preaching; it is an area in which I want to grow, so I look forward to sharing the pulpit more in 2011. Most recently, I gave oversight to the Christmas Eve program “Carry His Light,” which came out of the efforts of an incredible planning team consisting of Margie Hess, Kelly Kreider and Kelly McGaw. The program wove together portions of Scripture, music, dance, drama, and video into an original retelling of the story of Jesus. Here are Margie Hess’s thoughts about the creative process that brought the program together:

In every story there is a beginning, middle and an end. Our beginning started in January of 2010. A committee was put together to create a Christmas Eve service that was unique, but brought the promise of the timeless truth of the birth of Jesus Christ. We decided to write a script based upon Scripture and the ideas and creativity of the members of the church. Our writers put on their thinking caps to come up with events and emotions our characters might have experienced and felt at the time of Jesus’ birth. All their thoughts were compiled to create a touching and thought-provoking message. By October, actors and dancers were busy learning their individual parts. In the middle of it all was the set design and build. Jeremy Tuel spent hours composing the backdrop of music and creating our featured song “Carry His Light.” Jeremy Denlinger used his talents in creating the video and technical support for the evening.

Through the month of December we watched all the pieces come together. In the end, after many months, we saw the vision in our minds come to life before us. This whole experience was led by passion to share with you biblical truth about who Jesus was, is, and who He could be in your life. We hope you were blessed this Christmas Eve and encouraged to let His light shine bright in your heart and continue to carry His light for others to see.

This is an exciting time for me, as I believe God has brought Pequea Church to the place where He is going to begin building new things in us and through us. We have a responsibility as a church to rely on Him for every decision and seek Him every day in ministry. As the new year begins, there will be new songs to sing, new staging and props to see, new dramas to engage with,



February 13, 2011 WORSHIP PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d) and new dances to dance – but God doesn’t change, and He is the focus of all our efforts in worship. We worship to bless God’s heart. My prayer is that new volunteers join in this ministry area to expand our heart for God and our expressions in worship. We must challenge each other as worshipers to open our hearts to what God wants to do in our lives. Heartfelt worship that is God-honoring, Spirit-directed and life-changing is one of our core values as Brethren in Christ – and my focus as pastor of worship. I’ve been blessed this year to work beside other leaders in the BIC to help with conference and general events. I’ve been blessed to attend gatherings of BIC church leaders to encourage and enrich one another. I’ve been blessed to meet regularly with other worship leaders in the Atlantic Conference. I’ve been blessed to learn—from pastors, bishops and leaders wiser than I—what it means to serve God here at Pequea Church and as a Brethren in Christ. This year brought me several opportunities to do pastoral counseling, which is not something I have ever aspired to do, but I feel God has placed me in situations where I can be a voice for His sake in the lives of struggling people. One particular area I have encountered multiple times is that of marriage problems; so encouraging others in their marriage commitment has become a passion of mine. The enemy targets this area of life constantly and viciously, but our Lord is greater. God’s plan for our families must be taught and preserved; I encourage anyone struggling in their marriage to seek Him. As I approach the three-year mark of service here at Pequea, I am continually thankful for the church community. This year I’ve seen many new things achieved by passionate people who give their time and talents to the Lord. I know that God has great things in store for us in the years to come, and I pray that we continue to rely on Him for every move we make! On a personal note, Sara and I have been greatly blessed by the love shown to us this year by our church family. Sara had her accident in January, and we had our third baby in November; at those times I don’t know how we would have survived without the practical and spiritual support of the church. And every single week I know we are fortunate to be surrounded by those people God has placed into our lives – we truly are the family of God. Thank you for being Christ to us when we needed you, and thank God for His wonderful love and mercy. Pastor Jeremy Tuel



February 13, 2011CONGREGATIONAL MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT The past year has been one of spiritual growth and exciting opportunities. I praise God for His guidance and wisdom as we minister to many different people in the congregation, in the community and across the globe. Congregational Ministries encompass many different areas of the church. It is a privilege for me to work with wonderful ministry volunteers that help make things run effectively. Here is a look at 2010 in Congregational Ministries: Go Global Ministries

1. Nicaragua: As I write this report, we have a team of 13 currently serving in Nicaragua. All of these team members are over age 50, which shows that we are never too old to be used by God in missions. In early 2010, we sent a team of Young Adults to serve at the El Viejo Church. Here is how this mission trip made a difference in one Young Adult member of this team:

The lessons learned from this trip apply essentially to life back in the States. I have made certain that I do not forget what I learned as I return to the business of everyday life. This trip has caused me to evaluate what I am truly living for. What are my motivations? What are the things that I consider “essential?” What must the home be like that I live in? All of these things have come under my own scrutiny. I purpose every day to not just think of these things, but to live them out, to give sacrificially, to love others as much as I love myself. These are not abstract ideological principles, but they are simply practical everyday truths for the person who is seeking God.

The people of Pequea Church have given sacrificially to raise the funds for these trips and for the construction materials to be purchased. As a church we also contributed $1,500 to help fund Pastor Dan Houck’s trip to Nicaragua in June with a group from the Table Church. We also gave over $700 towards leadership training for Pastors in Nicaragua.

2. SPICE: Pequea’s children’s ministry program continues to make a great investment in the SPICE hostel ministry in India and Nepal. Each week Pequea kids faithfully bring their coins and dollars to help support children just like them on the other side of the world!

3. MDS: Much interest has been expressed toward sending another team with MDS and we hope to make this happen in 2011.

4. Water Street: many small groups and individuals have served at Water Street in 2010. We as a church also had two special collection drives — one for socks (278 pairs!!) and the other at Thanksgiving for food donations. The entire offering at the Christmas Carol Sing was sent to Water Street for their holiday food drives.

5. The Pequea congregation gave $3357.46 to MCC toward the Haitian Relief effort after the devastating earthquake.

The Go Global Team has had numerous opportunities throughout this past year to meet with BICWM missionaries that have spoken in some capacity at Pequea. These interactions provide opportunity to learn more about what BICWM is doing around the globe. GAP Team Prayer Ministries Prayer is of foundational importance for the work of the church. We are blessed to have a team of individuals that daily intercedes for the needs of the church. These GAP team members also wrote prayer devotionals for the congregation to use during Pastor Robert’s series on prayer. Members of the GAP team also meet for weekly prayer on Sunday and Wednesday mornings. Pequea Care Team Ministries It has been a great privilege for me to visit with many people throughout 2010 in the hospital, awaiting surgery, recovering from surgery, having babies and in retirement homes. I am thankful for the Pequea Care Team as they assist me with hospital



February 13, 2011CONGREGATIONAL MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d) visits, and for Joyce Slaymaker who oversees the meal ministry team. I have also participated in at least 5 memorial services of people that have been connected with Pequea Church.

I appreciate the volunteer work of Linda Heisey who oversees the Senior’s Ministry. She helped to plan the wonderful Senior Luncheon that was held here at Pequea in October and featured Gerald Wingert as the guest speaker. Here is a report from Linda Heisey:

Senior Ministry Report 2010 Spending time with the Pequea Seniors is such a rewarding and enjoyable time for me. Getting to know them better through home and hospital visits helps them to know that they are important to me and Pequea Church. Keeping in touch throughout the year with birthday and holiday cards gives me another opportunity to say I care about them and that they are always on my mind and in my prayers. May God bless each one this New Year! - Linda Heisey

Another area of the Pequea Care Team is our very active GriefShare Ministry. Here is a report from Trina Barr on the year in GriefShare:

Grief Share Report 2010 As I write this report I think back on all the special friendships that have been made since GriefShare started back in August of 2003 — friendships made through sorrows that continue to this day. Both the January and August 2010 sessions went well (except for the snow that seemed to fall on Tuesdays). We reached out to many in our church family and to the community this year, not only with GriefShare but with our card ministry, our GriefShare library and with visits to those that lost a loved one. With the holidays being a difficult time of year for those that are grieving, we held a Surviving the Holidays GriefShare Seminar/ Candle lighting ceremony in November. We pray that this was helpful to those that attended.

It is such a blessing to hear how much this support group has helped those dealing with grief. Many people have told us that having a safe place to come and share their hurts and sorrow with others experiencing the same thing has been very helpful to them. We are blessed to have this ministry at Pequea. I am thankful for this dedicated and faithful team. Debbie Detwiler and Linda Heisey led the January session. Lonnie Long, Linda Wingenfield and I led the August session.

Keep us in your prayers as we start our eighth year of providing this GriefShare ministry to our church families and to our community. -Trina Barr

Deacon Team Report 2010 The Pequea Deacon Ministry Team has many responsibilities to carry out in the course of the year. We try to accomplish this in a Scripturally-based manner to bring glory to our Savior in all we do. The following is a brief outline of the work that was accomplished for His kingdom and glory in 2010.

The New Parent Ministry is very adequately taken care of by Wayne and Marge Moore. Each family with a newborn receives a congratulatory card, a meal delivered to the house and a personalized infant’s Bible. There have been 16 precious little lives added to our church family in this past year.

Linford and Judy Burkhart handle the Welcome Basket Ministry. The baskets consist of material and information on Pequea Church, including the most recent Currents, a flower and some sweet treats. It affords us a way to reach out to the community and welcome newcomers to the area. Recipients are generally very appreciative and some are now regular attendees. There were 4 baskets delivered this year. We need the help of the congregation in identifying new neighbors in your area. If you know of someone, please be sure to let Judy Burkhart know by phoning 464-4119 or email [email protected].

The Ordinance Committee consists of Jay (Chair) and Stephany Yoder, Clyde and Joyce Slaymaker, Alex and Judy Munro, Jim and Margaret Farkas, Florence Hess and Wayne and Marge Moore. The Committee prepares, serves and offers prayer at communion services, baptisms, footwashing services and various other praise and prayer services.



February 13, 2011

CONGREGATIONAL MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d) The Slaymakers and the Farkas’ continue to be available for financial counseling when requested and are following through with various families.

RoseMary and Glenn Hess help the staff with phone calls and visitations.

Joyce Slaymaker is responsible for coordinating carry-in meals for those in need. In the past year she has coordinated 115 meals to help various families. She also involves the help of the Grow Groups in this ministry.

The Benevolence Committee, chaired by Alex Munro, consists of Judy Munro, Jay and Stephany Yoder, Linford and Judy Burkhart and Jim and Margaret Farkas. Linford and Judy Burkhart will be chairing this committee on an interim basis beginning January 1. We have ministered out $37,115.67 to 116 people in need during 2010. The Lord provides for this ministry through the generosity of the saints at Pequea; we thank you for your continued support. These funds are not ministered out without sensitivity to accountability. Phone calls and visitations are made when required before decisions are made corporately by the committee. May we always extend the grace of God to others, just as He has extended grace to us through the finished work of His Son.

We, as the Deacon Ministry Team, feel we have been called to serve the saints of Pequea as He leads us and in cooperation with the staff. We appreciate your prayers in the coming year as we strive to continue to glorify Him and help to add to His Kingdom.

By His grace,

Alex Munro, Chair Glenn and RoseMary Hess Judy Munro Wayne and Marge Moore Linford and Judy Burkhart Clyde and Joyce Slaymaker Jim and Margaret Farkas Jay and Stephany Yoder Florence Hess Women’s Ministry The Woman2Woman team oversees a mentoring program. In 2010 we had over 45 women involved in mentoring relationships. Finally, we are looking forward to the Ladies Retreat in 2011, which will take place at Sandy Cove in early April. Guest Services Ministries I appreciate the team leaders in the Guest Services Ministries, including Joyce Slaymaker, Greg Landis, Glenn Hess, Judy Burkhart, Dave Rohrer and Dave Lauver. This team (and their volunteers) faithfully takes care of all areas of guest services including parking, ushering, greeting and medical help. I also want to thank Rachel Peiffer for decorating the Welcome Center.

In early March, I attended a seminar at the Granger Church in Indiana, titled “First Impressions,” on how to make our church a friendly and inviting place for first-time guests. This gave me helpful ideas for continually improving this area of the church. Grow Group Ministries We had many opportunities for study, care and fellowship in our Grow Groups in 2010. Some of the study class options were Marriage by the Book taught by Chuck and Linda Lewis, Living by the Book taught by Phil Gale, Beth Moore Studies, Root to Fruit, News Views and Java with many guest speakers, and Financial Peace University taught by Duane and Dawn Hess. Two special groups include LINC and 55+ Alive. Their reports follow:

LINC Report 2010 This year at LINC has been very exciting. We have an average of 15 ladies every week. We also added four newborns in the fall and have two more coming this winter/spring! Each session we do a book study and the

ladies seem to really enjoy discussing the topics. LINC is a great way for women of all ages to get together and do a craft, book study and have fellowship with each other. -Heidi Homsher and Chrissy Robinson

55+ Alive Report 2010 The purpose of 55+ Alive is to develop activities that promote fun and fellowship among mature adults. Here are a few of the activities of 55+ Alive in 2010:

Game Night, Progressive Dinner, Evening with guest speaker Eleanor Isaacson, Reunion Harmony Quartet Concert, an evening at the American Music Theater and many other events. The average attendance for these events was 30. We were pleased with all the support from those who joined us for a year of love and fellowship with each other. We pray that 2011 will be a success also. Thanks for all your help and encouragement. -Charlie and Linda Stekervetz

Finally, a special thanks to all small group leaders as they faithfully led their groups throughout the year. Over the course of 2010 we had at least 25 different types of Grow Groups meeting here at the church or in people’s homes. In the spring we had many small groups studying the 40 Days of Love Together. Believe, Grow, Serve, Share Classes In 2010 we debuted the new BGSS series of classes that are taught by all the Pastors. Much time and preparation was put into the design and organization of the materials to make these classes helpful to those that want to learn more about Pequea Church and membership. I teach the BELIEVE component with Dawn Groff and I also oversee the details relating to membership. My other commitments in 2010:

Served on the team to plan Atlantic Conference Annual Meeting on March 27 Participated in the Directed Study Tour of Israel for 3 weeks in February 2010. This trip counted towards an elective

course in the Directed Study Program with the BIC. Preached two different messages here at Pequea in 2010 I was elected to the position of Assistant Moderator for the Atlantic Conference. This is a two-year term. Attended the BIC General Conference at Messiah College Helped to plan and facilitate (with Dawn Groff) the “Serve Day” where we thanked and encouraged our volunteers. Helped to plan and facilitate the Leadership Advance, a two-day training event for our church leadership here at

Pequea, with Pastor Mike Sigman as the guest speaker. In His Service, Pastor Daleen Charles



February 13, 2011CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT 2010 was a unique year. My teams and I spent much time seeking God’s heart, discerning His will, navigating change, and rebuilding where we felt His direction was leading in Pequea’s Children’s Ministry. It has been a year of intentional personal contacts and deliberate conversations with parents as some ministries underwent “facelifts” to align with the one service structure being implemented in the larger church body. Looking back over the year I can see many opportunities where my teams and I walked closely with the Lord; He proved Himself faithful over and over again. With the return of some familiar outreach programs and the adjustment of some other ministries, I am anticipating growth in 2011. I praise God for the spiritual growth of our children through baptisms, personal commitments to Christ, and families dedicating their children. My teams and I remain steadfast in expressing the love of Jesus to every child we meet through all our ministries and programs. As we prayed and planned, God directed our decisions and faithfully blessed our efforts. It continues to be exciting to see growth in children who’ve come to Pequea since birth and to also meet new families and begin to impact these children for Christ. Thank you for your partnership and for your prayers.

The following will hopefully give you a deeper insight into 2010 with summaries of areas within Children’s Ministry at Pequea Church.

January– May: I was blessed to have the assistance of Joel Latshaw for these 4 ½ months as Children’s Ministry Intern. Joel has since graduated from Lancaster Bible College and is employed at Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ Church as their Children’s Director. He was a valuable asset to ministry here and assisted me in daily programs and special events.

KidzKnexion: Submitted by Hedy Houghton KidzKnexion is a year-round program. However, September 1 brought a few changes. After a lot of thought, prayer and planning, it was decided to blend some old style and some new to create a “club feel” as in previous years. Through some trial and error we've learned the children really do need a more active, busy evening program. We've reintroduced activities (labs) led by those in our church family willing to mentor the children while sharing their interest or hobby. The 3rd through 5th grade children also enjoy a time of worship, singing and prayer in a large group setting. The K through second graders also have a time of large group where they share in singing, Bible stories and lessons, followed by small group time, where their leaders involve them in activities and crafts related to the large group lesson. It has been my pleasure to serve in this ministry. It is my prayer the children will come to know Jesus, as our volunteers share the love of Christ through KidzKnexion.

Grade 3–5 Lock-In, March: About 100 children from grades 3–5 attended this all-night outreach event. Volunteers took the children off-site for a bowling party. The kids enjoyed pizza, gym games, a devotional, and then a movie, before we attempted to get them quieted down. The Lock-In is always a hit and will remain a regular Children’s Ministry outreach. In 2010 we hosted children from several school districts, including Lampeter-Strasburg, Penn Manor and 2 children from other schools. Only half of the children in attendance were Pequea Church family kids. Cool!

Community Easter Egg Hunt, April: The CMEC sponsors this outreach event for families and children each Easter season. This year our event began with a short program in the auditorium where the children enjoyed a skit about friendship from a very crazy group of chipmunks! The Pequea puppets (and some other fun characters) were present to teach that God is our ultimate friend. Families received the salvation message followed by some door prize give-a-ways, and then a massive egg hunt took place. My team filled over 5,000 eggs with candy, which the children took home, along with cookies and a juice box. The children LOVED this event and we continue to bring families to Pequea Church through outreaches such as this. In 2010, 251 children and their families came out for our community Egg Hunt.

Pequea Water Works Park – VBS 2010: Submitted by Chrissy Robinson Ahoy, Pequea shipmates! VBS 2010’s theme was “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.” Our VBS numbers were quite a treasure. We had 134 children – we had a surplus of 4/5 year-olds with 30+ children in 2 classes. Our Pirate Crew



February 13, 2011CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)

was fantastic. We had over 50 people volunteering their time to bring the Word of God to Pequea children and the children in our community! What a fantastic group of volunteers we have! For our closing event we hosted a mock “drive-in” in the auditorium and showed “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything” movie. One of the highlights of our evening was the old-fashioned ice cream truck that came right to our door and served up ice cream novelties and snow-cones in a variety of flavors. The offering that we collected went to Pastor Robert’s team that orchestrated a VBS in Indiana. The monies went toward their supplies with the remains being donated to the children’s ministry in Indiana. Our ship’s Captain sent home letters to all non-Pequea Church families welcoming them back to join our family at any of our services or Sunday School programs. The VBS team is currently starting to brainstorm ideas for the 2011 VBS. Thank you all for your support in this ministry!

Kenbrook Camp, summer 2010: Pequea Church has achieved the prestigious status of being the Brethren in Christ Church which has sent the MOST children to summer camp this past year! (Harrisburg BIC followed in the second-place spot.) This past summer 69 children attended Kenbrook Bible Camp during the summer, and even more to various other programs of the camp, through the connection of Pequea Church. Our church continues to be a HUGE supporter of the camp as we send children ages 6–18 to summer camp, the Frozen Fiasco in January, and also teens who desire to be on Crew or as CIT (Counselors In Training). Through the Children’s Ministry budget the church was again able to contribute toward registration costs for each camper; by partnering with Kenbrook, several children received full scholarships to camp that otherwise may not have been able to go. Early in 2011, I have invited Erin Clarke from Kenbrook to speak to our children and get them excited for summer camp. This invitation is open to parents who would like to sit in and learn more about summer camp at Kenbrook! Watch for more information coming in the spring.

“Thanks Day”: Volunteer Appreciation took on a new look in September as the staff showed our appreciation to the hundreds of volunteers who stand with us in ministry every day. Workers enjoyed extra special snacks before the services, a silly skit by the staff, special music, and Bishop Doug Sider was our guest speaker. Thank you to all who volunteer at Pequea Church.

A Fall Knight – Fall Outreach 2010: “Princess Packs A Punch” rescued the knight from the so-very-tall tower in our Halloween alternative this past fall. My team succeeded at transporting the children back to medieval times as we showed the children that Jesus Christ is our real Savior, and everyone deserves a chance to know Him. Families had time together in a short program; then everyone was invited to participate in the many activities planned inside and outside the church. Over 280 children attended this outreach event. As with the Community Egg Hunt, this activity meets a need in the community and our church is recognized as placing high value on children and families. Pequea Church will continue to provide activities such as this to help families bridge the step from not attending church to becoming regular attendees as a family.

Christmas Eve, 5:30 service: I just LOVE leading this service! I am so passionate about children and families; the Christmas season is just the best time to celebrate the birth of our Savior and it’s perfectly okay to have rowdy, laughing children at church – the perfect recipe for the 5:30 Christmas Eve service! We focused on the manger as the bed that held our Savior; each child was encouraged to remember the manger and Jesus Christ when they crawled into THEIR bed on Christmas Eve. Children received a candy cane, a manger magnet, and a noise maker to take home after we celebrated Jesus’ birthday.

Pequea All-Stars: The large group/small group format for Kindergarten–Grade 5 Pequea All-Stars continues to work well. The children have a time of worship and a Bible lesson in addition to their individual class time. This large group of kids fills All-Star Alley every Sunday morning for both the 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. hours and on Wednesday evenings from 6:45-7:45 p.m. During 2010 our Sunday All-Stars and older God’s Little League children collected over $2,100.00 in offerings for the children of SPICE, enabling us to sponsor 12 children instead of the 8 we initially agreed to sponsor. Our Wednesday night All-Stars collected canned goods for Water Street.



February 13, 2011CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d) God’s Little League, nursery– age 5: Submitted by Stephanie Church, Director. This year we lightened up the nursery room with a fresh coat of light blue paint. In addition to the new color we enlisted Julie Enck to paint a tree, butterflies, bumble bees and a verse about “new beginnings.” This has brought many compliments and gives the nursery a relaxed feel. In God’s Little League we have had an exciting year. Our kiddos, ages 2 through Kindergarten, have learned ways to use their eyes, ears, hands, feet and heart to glorify God through memory verses, games and crafts to reinforce the lessons. We have also used the Christmas season to teach the story of Christmas with puppets, manger scenes, and by letting the children act out the story with costumes.

Pequea Pals Ministry: Submitted by Jared Adelman, Director. The Pequea Pals program is an initiative launched to provide support, compassion and care for children with neurological, emotional or adjustment difficulties, helping them to fully participate in children’s programming. A trained Pequea Pals Buddy is assigned to work directly with a child who otherwise may struggle to engage in group activities, or who may otherwise not attend at all. Inherently, there is tremendous value associated with relationships and feelings of connectedness in a healthy developmental progression; the Pequea Pals program aims to offer an opportunity for integration in a most natural way for the child and family. In 2010, the Pequea Pals program provided one-on-one support at different intervals of time for six children during a combination of Sunday morning or Wednesday evening programming. There were five adult volunteers who selflessly dedicated time, patience and effort to see full potential realized in some of Pequea’s future stars. In order for this program to be sustainable, we need to have continuous availability of committed and responsible teenagers or adults who are willing to provide guidance for our struggling youth. I am humbled by the compassion and care of those who have already imprinted their dedication and helped to build the foundation of today and tomorrow’s youth by becoming involved. I am grateful for past and current volunteers who have dedicated their time. If you are interested in serving as a Pequea Pal or would like to learn more about this ministry, please contact me.

Library: Submitted by Elaine Hess The library continues to provide the congregation with a variety of books, tapes, CDs and cassettes. Sunday School teachers also use the library; it is also put to good use by preschool classes during the week. DVDs & books are popular with our young visitors and avid readers visit on a regular basis searching for new additions or the latest book in a series by their favorite author. As always, we appreciate all those who helped increase the number of choices we have to offer by making donations to the library this year.

Areas of Children’s Ministry growth and personal notes for 2010: - In 2010 there were 14 children who were dedicated and five children, age 12 or under, who were baptized.

Praise God! I continue to lead children’s baptism classes. - Four children from Pequea completed the Next Generation 2-year Leadership Program. - I was blessed to lead Children’s Programming at General Conference in July of 2010 and be the guest speaker

at Kenbrook Camp’s Mother Daughter Retreat in November. - I have completed 2 Directed Study Classes in 2010. From January–March I took Bible Survey, and August–

December I took Discerning God’s Call, My Identity. Both these classes are enabling me to expand my preaching and teaching ability. In addition to these classes, I have enjoyed several Theology Study Group discussions and Equipping for Ministry experiences with other BIC Pastors and leaders.

- I continue to serve on the Board of Kenbrook Bible Camp. -

Areas of vision or goals for 2011: - The expansion of my role as a pastor of this congregation and the added responsibilities this brings to me. I will

be preaching four times in 2011, leading the Believe portion of our Believe, Grow, Serve, Share classes with Daleen, and assuming responsibility for Pequea’s baptisms.

- I am looking forward to a Short-Term Missions opportunity in May of 2011, when I will travel to Spain with BICWM and help lead children’s programming for our missionary children during an International Team Retreat



February 13, 2011CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES PASTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)

for all Brethren in Christ World Missionaries. Steve, Taylor and Erin will be going with me as well as Lori Adelman, and Joel and Stephanie Latshaw.

- I am hoping to invest more time into growing additional leadership in my areas of responsibility here at Pequea. This will enable me to take some key ministries such as Pequea Pals, and KidzKnexion to the next level.

In closing I’d like to state my appreciation and respect for ALL my volunteers who serve with me in all areas of Children’s Ministry throughout the year. God is blessing the work you are doing and His name is being glorified because of your efforts. Thank you!

Serving Him, Pastor Dawn Groff



February 13, 2011PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR’S REPORT Pequea Preschool

OUR MISSION Pequea Preschool is a fun place to grow. Our trained staff provides young children with hands-on experiences that enhance their spiritual, academic, emotional, physical and social development. We assist the children in becoming the individuals God has intended them to be.

WE ARE: *God-honoring *Educational *Fun *Safe

God is good! I am always amazed to look back and see His blessings as I reflect on yet another year in ministry. This was Pequea's 15th year to have a preschool and we are currently accepting registrations for our 16th year. Every year I can see where God answered prayers along the way. And every year I can see growth: growth in staff development, growth in student numbers, and growth in our program. We closed out the 2009-2010 school year in May with 80 students and currently have 94 students in the 2010-2011 school year. We were getting registrations this school year straight through December. Our newest student only began the first week of January.

We had several ways throughout the past year for preschool families to get better acquainted with Pequea Church. Just like many other years, we had our preschoolers participate in the Palm Sunday services. This brought out many to watch the preschoolers, even if they don't regularly attend a church. Since that date, at least one of the families has become a regular part of Pequea Church, being baptized this summer and now involved in ministry here. Praise God!

There were also other ways that we brought preschool families out to the church. We offered our first ever Family Safety Day in April. This was a community effort, with many other groups coming alongside us to provide stations and presentations on various safety topics in our back parking lot. Approximately 200 people attended this event. Over 300 people came out to our graduation event in May for our oldest preschoolers—another great way to get people to the church. Our older preschoolers participated in our Christmas Carol Sing this December. We had about 370 people come out to jump-start the Christmas season with us.

I am greatly blessed with the staff that God has put together in the preschool. We have a great team of committed people. I only had to hire three new staff this past fall, which was low considering we were adding a new class. I am excited about the fact that all 10 of my staff plan to continue in their current positions in the fall. This is a huge blessing, as I believe this may be the first time this has happened (at least in a long time). Another staff change that took place this year was between me and Lori Mahoney. I began home-schooling Jonathon at the end of August, thus needing to adjust my hours in preschool. Lori has been my assistant for several years, but now oversees most of the day-to-day activities of the preschool, while I check in once a week. She is doing a fabulous job!

I mentioned that we added a 9th class to our list of preschool options – our 2 ½ year-old class. Some people may wonder why we would offer a class for such young children. This class provides an opportunity for the youngest preschooler to interact with his or her peers in a safe environment. They are exposed to many learning opportunities that will act as background knowledge for them as they continue in their education. Some preschools in our area have been offering this class for many years and many parents have been requesting it for a few years now. It was no surprise to me when we filled the class to its maximum of 10 students this year. It is one that is filling quickly again this year.

Our registration for the coming fall is already at 51 students (out of 104 openings), that is even before holding our Open House. We had 40 students registered at this time last year. It looks as if God has great plans for the 2011-2012 school year.



February 13, 2011 PRESCHOOL DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont’d) Toddler Gym

Toddler Gym continues to prove to be a valuable tool to introduce our community to Pequea Church. We finished out the spring with about 30 toddlers plus parents gathering in the gym every Thursday morning for an hour of free fun during one of the two hours that we provided. As we prepared to begin our 9th year of Toddler Gym this fall we decided to offer only one hour since I was not going to be there to help lead each week, and since we closed out the previous school year seeing low enough enrollment to run only one hour. Well, as we moved into our winter session this month we felt the need to once again offer two sessions each Thursday since we have seen a steady attendance of about 40 toddlers every week. This required Lori to gather additional volunteers to run the second hour. She now has a team of over 6 people who are helping to lead song time on a rotating schedule. I am very grateful to the many volunteers that help by setting up, greeting, leading song time, cleaning up and preparing for the snack time in Sarah's Cafe. Melissa Eshbach



February 13, 2011PROPERTY & FACILITIES DIRECTOR’S REPORT Our “new” facility has reached its tenth anniversary already! I think …I hope, it has been a blessing to the congregation and the community. The increasing age (and heavy use) brings with it, however, increasing maintenance.

In addition to the normal cleaning, maintenance, program support, weddings, funerals and other routine and special events, some of the property and facility projects included:

Painting the Nursery, Café, and a few classrooms Cemetery reseeding Purchasing a new storage shed Annual mulching Propane upgrades Asphalt and curb painting/additional signage And…a substantial amount of snow removal!

As always, I am truly grateful to my core group of “veteran” workers/volunteers as well as the few new helping hands that I seem to be blessed with each year. Thank you for helping me “keep my head above water.”

Thank you also to so many of you who have worked with me with such a positive attitude, who have kept me informed on various issues and for being good stewards of the facility. I pray that will continue.

As we go through the 3.6.5 Challenge this year, I encourage you (and myself) as James writes; “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” (Ja. 1:22)

Shalom,

Barry Huber



February 13, 2011 TECHNICAL ARTS and YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES DIRECTOR’S REPORT It is a true blessing that I am able to serve in full time ministry at Pequea Church. Over the past year I began working at Pequea full time, purchased my first house, and got married. These are some of life's most intense decisions and 2010 was a year of change in my life. I am thankful that in 2010 I was able to focus all my ministry time at Pequea Church and was no longer stretched between multiple positions. I am thankful that I was able to find a home right within our church community and that I was able to find a wife who loves and supports my ministry and the local church!

My job would be impossible if it were not for the people that surround me in ministry. I was thankful to have Drew Reddig serve as assistant technical director throughout most of 2010. Drew spends his time focusing on preparing each week’s service, programming lighting, setting up or tearing down the platform and building the visual presentations. This allows me to stay focused on the bigger projects, managing the volunteers and working with Young Adults. Joy Wighaman volunteered her time during weekday preschool to help create and brainstorm many of the sermon series graphics you saw throughout the year. I am also very thankful for my additional teams of volunteers that serve week after week to further the ministry of Pequea Church.

One of my responsibilities is maintaining our web ministry. In 2010 we continued to build, modify and enhance our many web properties. We launched a 365challengeonline website at the end of the year to help promote and prepare for the 3.6.5 Challenge in 2011. To give you an idea of the effectiveness of our web ministry, here are some quick numbers. Our primary pequeachurch.com website had 14,609 visitors at about 40 visits per day. These visitors created thousands of page views. Our website continues to be a great way for people to explore our church without even taking a step into our building, while it continues to give our congregation information about upcoming events and activities at a moment’s notice.

In 2010 we continued using social media such as facebook and twitter. We use these services to direct and promote events and news with our congregation. Social media allows our fans to promote and share our stories, videos and events with friends and family online. We continue to send out regular emails to our congregation promoting upcoming events and alerting our prayer team with up-to-the-minute requests and praises.

I continued to support existing communication efforts by designing graphics and promotional materials for individual ministries and church-wide initiatives. I designed and prepared four issues of our Currents magazine for print and distribution. I created ads for place-mats, cups, banners, flyers, programs, online, and more. My team brainstormed and created custom-designed sermon series graphics and promotional content. We created videos, took pictures and did whatever we could to support the sharing of Jesus with our church and community.

Our technical arts team supported many large events and projects throughout the year, including the new photo directory, creating the 3.6.5 Challenge resources, holiday services and programs, weddings, and funerals. The technical arts ministry continues to be a vital role in supporting the mission and vision of Pequea Church and we are constantly thinking about how we can become even more effective as our church and community grows.

In 2010 our young adult ministry created opportunities for fun, service and growth through monthly events and activities. Our young adult leadership team planned times of teaching and discussion geared toward the growth of our young adults. We offered opportunities to serve through a missions trip to Nicaragua in January, and additional service at Millersville International House. Our young adults also gathered for fun events like picnics and game nights where we ate food, shared stories and built community. In many ways 2010 was a year of transition and healing, propelling us to new changes and opportunities in 2011. I am excited about the many young adults who are connected to Pequea Church and what will happen as we grow and expand our footprint at Pequea Church.

I look forward with anticipation to what God has in store for Pequea Church and my ministry areas in 2011. I am thankful for what God has done in 2010 but recognize that each hour of every day brings opportunities to be more and more like Jesus as we minister to the community God has called us to.

Jeremy Denlinger Technical Arts & Young Adult Ministries Director



February 13, 2011MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR’S REPORT I am writing this report after a very uplifting week. My son Braden brought a boy from his class to church last night and Dawn Groff led him to the Lord. A story on Pequea Church’s 3.6.5 Challenge was on the front page of the Advertiser this week and someone came and picked up five Bibles after reading the article. These are big wins for the Kingdom and it is so gratifying to be a part of this team.

I continue to participate on Sunday mornings on a regular basis. I have given announcements, prayers and introduced guests, etc. It is a joy to serve in this way.

This year we reduced the amount of pages in Currents to 8 pages. The look of the piece has changed a bit too. We have given Jeremy Denlinger room to demonstrate his creativity in new ways. We completed four issues that focused on Believe, Grow, Serve and Share. We used Evangel Press to print the issues and have maintained a circulation of about 9,000 homes. I have never received as much positive feedback about Currents as I did in the past year. One gentleman from our congregation said, “I never realized how many people read Currents until I was in an article.”

Other areas of communication in the past year included but were not limited to: Penn Manor Calendar Penn Manor Football Program Placemats for the Wagon Development of stories for radio and newspapers Lampeter Fair: All aspects of booth coordination Post Cards/Posters

Stacie Ritchie made a large number of new guest calls. It was a breath of fresh air for her to do the calling, as she was new to the church herself. She had enthusiasm to share her journey with newcomers. I aided Stacie as needed. Also, some guests give only their email address or their home address and we would handle them on a case-by-case situation. In addition to the calls and invites to come back to special events we had one Newcomer Social. I would really like to have four newcomer socials in 2011.

In 2010, I became the point person for the Food Service Ministry. At the time I thought it was a pretty big departure from what I do with Communications. But over the course of the year I have noticed how much communication takes place over a plate! I have been able to work very closely with a very dedicated group of people. Karen McGaw heads up our Wednesday night meals. Several local churches in our area are struggling in the food service area, even going so far as to eliminate their weekly meals. It seems that many people do not cook very big meals for their own family, much less be willing to cook for a congregation. Thankfully, we are still able to offer excellent food at an affordable rate. Donna Rineer took over the Wednesday night meals for the summer months into early fall. She did a great job of filling in the gap. Donna also graciously gives her time and talent for special events. Another praise—Judy Munro has offered to continue coordinating the Sunday morning snacks.

Each week is different in my position. I really thrive on the diversity, as I help each ministry with whatever they need to promote an area of interest. To God be the glory for the efforts of His people. In His Service, Dee Steele



February 13, 2011OFFICE MINISTRIES DIRECTOR’S REPORT As I sit in my office today and look out across the beautiful landscape, white with snow, I am reminded how Jesus washed me white as snow when I accepted His gift of salvation. I am continually thankful for His indescribable gift of eternal life, as well as the daily blessing of being allowed to serve Him here at Pequea Church surrounded by dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

The year 2010 went by super-fast; my days were busy with typical duties of answering and directing phone calls, answering emails, handling facility rentals, scheduling the church calendar, keeping the church database up-to-date, handling prayer requests, keeping attendance records, compiling sign-ups for special classes and events from Connection Cards, and keeping an inventory of office supplies and ordering as necessary. The back of the Connection Card continues to be a good method for people to sign-up for various classes and events. I also continue to compile the weekly bulletin for worship services. I am very thankful for the weekly advice of Dee Steele and Marge Heppner as they lend their professional expertise in proofreading the bulletin.

Donna Wendler continues to be a great support to me in helping with attendance records, compiling payroll data, printing Sunday School curriculum, and by adding office support to the worship and women’s ministries. She has also completed updating the written Church Registers with baptisms and membership names (the register books had not been recorded in since 2005).

I assisted Pastor Shaw and the other pastors this past year in revising and updating the Covenants signed by staff, persons in leadership positions and by membership/partners. The goal was to achieve uniformity and focus in on our passion, mission and vision.

Early in 2010 the BGSS class materials were completely rewritten, which I formatted and compiled in new notebooks for the classes that began on Jan. 31, 2010. Slight revisions were then made later in the year.

Within this past year the Pequea Church staff began using a new time and attendance system that I administer. The system tracks the staff’s work hours in and out of the office and also keeps track of our vacation, personal and sick hours. We also now have an Employee Handbook, approved by the Church Board, outlining general policies and procedures.

My large project for the year was the new Pequea Church Photo Directory that was sent out in digital format to all people that participated. I am very thankful to all the volunteers who helped with this process, especially to those volunteering their time and expertise to shoot the photos. Updates to this will be sent out periodically as new people join or information changes.

It was my privilege within this past year to help design and print promotional materials for Family Safety Day, the Ladies’ Retreat, the Couples’ Retreat, the Senior Luncheon, Leadership Advance, the Guest Dinner and various other special events.

I am so thankful for the continuing sacrificial time that Joyce Styer-Rozell gives each week to help with the bulletins, putting things in church mailboxes, and anything else as time allows. I am also thankful for the other volunteers that helped while I was on vacation and had wrist and ear surgery this past year: Joyce Slaymaker, Linda Heisey, Elaine Kreider, Vicky Stamm, Kathy MacMullen and Sonia Bridge. As I look toward the year 2011, I am very excited that we have nearly 300 people committed to the 3•6•5 Challenge, myself being one of them. I look forward to how God is going to change us individually through the reading of His Word and how He will change us together as a corporate body.
