Leslie Atkins asked for an update on the search for a new music director. Joy Bennington reported that they started with twenty-two applications which were narrowed down and two candidates interviewed. One dropped out, so there is now one candidate. One of the problems in filling this position is that Roser does not provide benefits. She is hopeful that the new music director will be here by the first of May.Jill Morris asked that the congregation recognize and thank Phyllis O’Keef for the excellent job she has done as interim music director. Those present responded warmly with a standing ovation.
Financial Secretary, David Cheshire, reported on the pledges received at the two worship services that morning. There were 141 pledges which is a 60% increase over last year for a total of $264,000, an 87% increase over 2014. 51% of the 2015 budget will be covered by pledged funds.
Mary Selby, Chair of the Missions Committee, announced that February 15 is Roser’s Mission Fest during the two church services.

Chairman of the CongregationCATHY MEEHAN
Dreams and Visions. Roser Church’s history is full of dreams and visions. In 1913 John Roser dreamed of a chapel on the vacant lot across the street from his cottage. In the early 1930s Marion and Lula Coleman dreamed of a revitalized chapel as a place to hold Vesper services and Sunday School. In 1939 the original 51 members of the incorporated church dreamed of a permanent church in Anna Maria. Roser members in the 1970s dreamed of a Sanctuary and campus to hold the growing membership of the church. And in 2015 we are dreaming of a church that reaches out to a 21st Century Island and world.
The Roser Church community has been talking about Dreams and Visions a lot in 2015. The dreaming and visioning for 2015 started with the Planning Retreat held in October 2014. At that Retreat we developed five Strategic Objectives for Roser Church. During 2015 we started to implement those Strategic Objectives.
• We Increased Discipleship with Advent and Lenten Bible Studies, a successful Vacation Bible School, the addition of the Disciple Fast Track Bible Study, and the fall session of Golfing For God.
• We Increased Hands-On-Missions starting with February’s highly successful Mission Fest, the Feeding Children Everywhere packing event held at Roser, the visit to Loving Hands Ministries with donated golf clubs, and our Adult Sunday School which donates money to causes inside and outside of Roser church.
• We have Increased Attendance at the Sunday worship services year over year with between 950 and 1000 attendees on Easter Sunday and Joyful Noise Choir has more children than in recent years.
• We have Leveraged Digital by creating the Digital Applications Team to deal with technology at Roser and have used the debit/credit card reader on Sundays and at special events.
• The fifth Strategic Objective, Increase Worship Services, will begin to be addressed in 2016.
Other “firsts” in 2015 include:• Our search for an Associate Pastor resulted in the hiring of Neil Crowell, who joined Roser on January 4, 2016. • Trustees are working on plans for revitalizing our buildings and grounds. • The Faith to Fulfillment Stewardship Campaign in early 2015 resulted in a 220% increase in pledges over the
prior year. • A 12 hour Prayer Vigil was held during the 2015 Stewardship Campaign.• A Healing Service was held during worship. • The Acoustic Combo played for the first time in June and has brought a new sound into worship. • Musical groups were featured in the Chapel during Bayfest and were well received.• The Women’s Guild held a get-together over the summer for local members.• New Paraments were purchased for the Sanctuary through donations from groups and individuals.
All of this in addition to the many programs and ministries already in place at Roser Church. You can read about many of these in the Reports of the Boards and Committees in this Annual Report. I encourage everyone to read through the Annual Report and be amazed at all we do as a church community.
I am writing this report as I come to the end of my three-year term as Chair of the Congregation. I am excited about what the future holds for Roser Church. I would like to thank our incredibly talented and capable staff, our dedicated and committed lay leadership, and the whole congregation for all of your hard work and commitment the past three years to get Roser to where we are now. The success of the past three years could not have been achieved without the work of the whole Roser Community. My thanks and grateful appreciation to all of you. Let’s continue to dream and vision and keep Roser Church the strong, vibrant and vital church that it has been for so long.

Senior PastorREV. DR. BOB O’KEEF
Brian Wren wrote a beautiful new hymn which talks about transitions:
This is a day of new beginnings,Time to remember and move on.Time to believe what love is bringing,Laying to rest the pain that’s gone.
For by the life and death of Jesus, God’s mighty Spirit, now as then, Can make for us a world of difference, As faith and hope are born again.
Then let us, with the Spirit’s daring Step from the past and leave behind, Our disappointment, guilt and grieving, Seeking new paths, we’re sure to find.
Christ is alive and goes before us To show and share what love can do. This is a day of new beginnings; Our God is making all things new!
This past year at Roser has been one in which we have experienced that God does make for us a world of difference! God has shown us what powerful newness His love brings to us.
There have been so many wonderful ways in which God has moved among us, that it is difficult to name them all. Our first ever MissionFest was an astonishing event which paved the way for us to give more to missions in 2015 than ever before. As we celebrated the resurrection on Easter Sunday, we had the largest single Sunday attendance (1007) in Roser’s history! We finished the year with a budget surplus, and never had to draw on our financial reserves. We don’t know if this was a first for Roser, but it certainly hasn’t happened in recent memory.
In seeking to fulfill our Mission Statement, (Loving Christ, Sharing His Grace, Serving All) we put a major emphasis on Adult Discipleship. The “Hallelujah” Lenten Bible Study reached more than 20% of our adults. Golfing for God has been a remarkable new ministry in Relational Discipleship. Our long term Bible study, Disciple, has been incredibly well received as a very faithful group gathers each Sunday evening. To make Discipleship an even greater emphasis in the years to come, we begin 2016 with a new Associate Pastor, Rev. Neil Crowell, whose job will be to focus primarily on building a Discipleship program for all ages and involving the entire congregation in hands-on Mission. We ended the year by thanking Kelley Tribble Lanza for her fifteen years of service to Roser as Director of Christian Education. Neil has big shoes to fill.
We continue to be tremendously blessed by Roser’s Music Ministry. We were thrilled to welcome Kristen Stanton as our Minister of Music in May. She has brought a wonderful vitality, a commitment to excellence, and a boatload of talent (just right for an Island Church) to the job. Her gentle, compassionate, and loving Spirit makes her a joy to work with.One of the great highlights of the year was our Youth and Children’s Sunday. Sophie Bernet preached the most powerful Youth Sermon that I have ever heard! She wrote the entire sermon by herself, and simply ‘blew us away’ with her poise and presentation.
At our Fall Retreat, the Joel 2 Committee presented a long range plan that is incredibly bold. The plan has been well received. It will be fascinating to see how much of the plan we will be able to implement in the months and years to come.
Truly, Christ is alive and goes before us! We look forward to 2016 with anticipation and hope. We give thanks to God for surrounding Roser Church with His powerful Spirit. For all the wonderful things that He has helped us to accomplish in the past, we say “thanks!” And for all the things that He will bring to us in the New Year, we say “yes!”

Board of DeaconsCO CHAIRS: DIANNE DELONG, JOANNE MOYER, PRISCILLA SEEWALD
The Deacons are responsible for matters pertaining to the spiritual life of the church, working closely with the Pastor. They are Spiritual Caregivers within the congregation.
During the entire year, the Deacon of the Month, and several additional Deacons, called, sent
greeting cards, and visited those in the congregation where spiritual support and comfort were needed. The altar flowers were taken each Sunday to shut-ins or to those who would appreciate them. A Deacon was always present at Memorial services.
The Deacons began 2015 by preparing and attending the Self-serve communion, open to all, in the Chapel on 1/1/15. By February, Roser was receiving communion by Intinction in the Sanctuary, sharing of a common loaf, the first Sunday of each month, served by Deacons.
In February, Dr. Bob received his favorable 6 Month Evaluation and his Annual Evaluation was completed in Nov, by the Deacons. The Deacons were represented at Mission Fest for the congregation to learn the role of Roser Deacons. From 2/24-3/31 the Deacons organized the six-week Soup Suppers held alongside the Lenten Bible Studies.
March brought Palm Sunday and the Deacons handed out 450 palm crosses and in April they served communion at Maundy Thursday service and on Easter they handed out flowers, gave assistance, and took pictures of many families by the Easter Flower cross. Many Deacons attended the Seder service at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in April.
Food and Wine on Pine in May, and BayFest in October, meant 2 shifts for Deacons to give tours of the Chapel, pray with anyone who asked, and provide water outside for visitors and their dogs.
In July and November the Deacons met and had many of their questions answered by the candidates for Associate Pastor.
This year 23 Deacons and friends sang Christmas Carols to 11 people in their homes after making Christmas Evergreen gifts and having lunch together. The Christmas Eve services were lovely with over 400 candles lit per service.
The co-chairs met with Dr. Bob prior to the monthly meetings to discuss concerns and projects. At each Deacon meeting there was a “Moment for Spiritual Growth and Prayer” by Dr. Bob. Deacon Co-chairs attended the Executive and Council monthly meetings.
Each Sunday, at the Welcome Desk, a Deacon or member was available to assist those with questions. Monthly Fellowship time was held after the Sunday service.
Altar Committee CO CHAIRS: IRENE BETANCOURT, HEATHER BLANE, PEGGY KYZER
The Altar Committee served the Roser congregation by:• Coordinating the sanctuary floral arrangements each week as well as the poinsettias for Christmas and lilies for Easter.• Tidying the pews and replenishing the pew pockets.• Selecting the new paraments for the chancel under the guidance of Dr. O’Keef.• Updating the Christmas decorations with the help and expertise of Claire Quillin.

Board of Religious EducationGLENDA BECK, CHAIR
The Board of Religious Education is a very active board that brings many different types of religious education to all age groups. The members of BREd for 2015 were Renal Hook, Susan Nudd, Susan Cheshire, Darlene Head, Sophie Bernet, Mary Lechleidner and Glenda Beck.
Kelley Tribble Lanza was our part-time Christian Education Coordinator this year. Lisa Lardas was in charge of the nursery. Both of these women provided wonderful Christian leadership to our church. They both share their faith and love of God constantly.
Our acolyte program provides our young people with an opportunity to participate weekly in our church service. Children in the third grade and higher are encouraged to be part of this special opportunity. These children bring the light of the Lord into the worship service and carry it out at the end of the worship service. They also ring the bell signaling that church will start in five minutes. It was very exciting to have new children involved in this program this year. Thanks to Susan Nudd for seeing that this part of our worship service runs smoothly every Sunday.
Roser offers two adult Sunday School classes that are very well attended. Mark Morris leads the class that meets year round. The second class is a book discussion class that meets from late fall until spring.
A new adventure this year was to have our young people completely in charge of Youth Sunday. From greeters to ushers. Scripture readings to the sermon. They did it all!! Thanks for a job well done to all who participated. A special thank you to Sophie Bernet for her wonderful sermon and to Dylan Tribble for doing the children’s message.
We had another fun and successful VBS this year with 70 children attending and a staff of volunteers that went above and beyond.
Other programs this year included: • Scholarships for various camps • Bayfest • 100 shoe boxes sent for Operation Christmas Child • Privateer’s Christmas Parade • Bethlehem Walk • Bible Sunday
BREd is not the largest committee but we are very active and committed to offering many different opportunities to share our Love of God. We would like to thank the staff, volunteers and the congregation as a whole for giving of their time and talents in our mission. As chair of this board I would like to say thank you to all who have helped in any way this year. Being a part of BREd is a huge blessing.
As we end 2015 and look forward to 2016, we would like to say a huge thank you to Kelley Lanza for her 15 years of leadership to our Christian Education Department. You have done a remarkable job. Thank you for a job WELL DONE!!!
Kitchen CommitteeCO-CHAIRS: GLENDA BECK, SUSAN NUDD
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to clean up and put things away after using the kitchen. Please do not leave any food items in the church unless they are sealed in sturdy plastic containers and marked with the name of the group that will use them and the date they will be used by. All food items left in the fridge must be dated and labeled. If you are missing containers, please check the lost and found on the bottom shelf in the pantry next to the coffee window.

Board of Stewardship & FinanceMAJOR LECKIE, CHAIR
Stewardship and finance for 2015 has continued to update the management of Roser Memorial Community Church funds. The Stewardship/Finance is made up of the following components:
Treasurer Legacy ProgramFinancial Administrator FoundationFinancial Secretary CompensationStewardship Budget
• Additional activities include, working closely with Trustees and the Executive Committee. • Each month Stewardship/Finance meets throughout the year (Summer months, informally).• Year to date financial figures are issued each week in the Sunday Bulletin as well as attendance figures.• Additional reports regarding Stewardship/Finance are part of the Annual Report.
Financial SecretaryDAVID CHESHIRE
With renewed energy and faith by our congregation and inspired by our Senior Pastor, we look forward to an even more successful 2016 pledge campaign to support our expanded programs, ministry and new Associate Pastor, and significant improvements to our facilities.
We now recognize the significant accomplishments of each quarter made possible by this giving in our Quarterly Contributions statements. We are also using e-mail and a check reader to improve our efficiency and minimize costs.We added an iPad credit / debit card reader to our offering plate and website giving options. It has proven its value for “special events” such as Mission Fest and Mission Sundays, the Concert Series, and support to community organizations such as the Anna Maria Garden Club plant sale held at Roser. The checkbook might be at home and the wallet might be light in cash, but a credit / debit card works just fine.
AuditorRoser Church was unable to fill the position of Auditor for 2015. Council has approved the hiring of an experienced independent outside financial firm to do an audit of the 2015 financials. The audit process will start soon after the Annual Meeting, will pause during tax season and finish by late spring or early summer. The audit will provide guidance to areas (if any) that need improvement and a source of support for the Financial Administrator and Treasurer.
Remembrances & GiftsDOUG DELONG
Twenty-nine members or friends of Roser church who died to life everlasting during 2015 were honored by memorial gifts to the church. We also received memorials honoring 5 members who had died in previous years. Eighty-three notes of acknowledgement were sent to the person or persons who donated. In addition, the family of the deceased received notification of the donor’s gift. We received 6 gifts in honor of living members or friends. Letters were sent to both the donor and the honoree. All memorial gifts were recorded in the Special Book of Memorials that is on display in a cabinet in the sanctuary Narthex.

TreasurerJIM BENNINGTON
2015 was the year that moved Roser from transition to growth. Roser grew in Missions, Ministry, and Programs. Roser grew in attendance to 16,650 people, up 9.6% from 2014. Roser’s Operating Contributions grew to $489,021, up 23.2% from 2014.
The presentation of Roser financials was changed in 2015 to make the financials easier to understand. The Undesignated Memorials (Dr. French’s Gift) wereadded to income and Capital Expenses were added to the Trustee expense. These changes can be seen if you look at the attached Executive Summary.
2015 was a very strong fiscal year for Roser. Roser ended the year with a $37,152 operating cash surplus, slightly ahead of 2014. This surplus will aid in funding the 2016 budget. As can be seen on the bar chart, Operating Contributions, $489,021, excluding Dr. French’s gift, exceeded the Operating Expenses, $481,276, without Capital Improvements for the first time in a number of years. Roser spent 48% of all cash received on Ministry, Program and Missions. Roser Mission outreach was 12% of all cash received. The only disappointment for 2015 was that the investment market fell at year end. As disappointing as the poor year end performance was, Roser did NOT lose any money in the investment market in 2015.
The 2016 proposed budget reflects the need for continued upgrading and repair of our campus and facilities (you can see the list on the last page of the budget). The 2016 budget adds a needed Associate Pastor in the person of Neil Crowell. The 2016 budget provides for an outside audit of the Roser financials which has not been done in some time. The 2016 budget provides for the much needed replacement of a copier and the increase in outreach communications.

Board of Trustees MIKE SELBY, CHAIR
2015 was no different than other years as there is constant care and maintenance needed for our aging facility. The trustees try to be good stewards of Roser’s time, talents and treasures as we repair, replace, and/or upgrade our facilities.
Some of the accomplishments during 2015 were:1. Painting of the exterior of Fellowship Hall, the Education building, the
chapel, the library and the Pastor’s office. 2. Replacing 200 feet of Seawall behind the church3. Improving the lighting in the parking lot behind the Sanctuary4. Replacing acoustical tile in the education building5. Replacing exterior carpeting outside the Narthex with slate tile6. Replacing old wooden fence around the trash enclosure with white
vinyl fencing7. Purchasing a new defibrillator for the Sanctuary
In addition to all of the above, many other improvements were accomplished because of the dedication of the Board of Trustees and the
MANY volunteers who gave of their time and talents to make Roser the GREAT church that she is.
Library CommitteeCO-CHAIRS: DOUG AND DIANNE DELONG
The library is happy to report that 30 books were received as gifts and cataloged this year. They will be processed, labeled and stamped with the church library property stamp, and on the shelves in early 2016. There are also a number of additional gifts that will be processed in the spring of 2016.
In order to best utilize our limited space, we will continue with the weeding process, review and potential removal of underused or outdated materials.
This an ongoing process. In addition, we will be working with the Trustees as they organize a thorough cleaning and painting of the room.

Ushers CommitteeCO-CHAIRS: NORM COCHRAN, LYNN BRENNAN
The 2015 Ushers would like to thank Roser Church for the opportunity to serve as Ushers. It is a wonderful chance to meet and greet our Church membership and guests and a very gratifying experience for our very loyal Ushers and Greeters.
Over the past year, the Ushers have attended approximatley 15,000 persons at Roser Church, many of whom have been first time visitors or guests of Church members. Fortunately, 2015 brought no major emergencies during the Church services. During the year, we ushered seventy regular and special services such as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Christmas Eve (two services), Good Friday, Thanksgiving and several memorial services. There were also two worship services that required Ushers and Greeters from January 11th through Easter Sunday. The Ushers had the responsibility for the Narthex Greeters on Sunday and we have been fortunate to have friendly, welcoming Greeters.
Thank you to all the Ushers and Greeters who have so graciously given of their time to serve Roser Church especially Jack Brennan, Pam and Major Leckie, Mike Pescitelli, Bob Baker, Steve and Leslie Atkins, Karen Swinney, Irene and Bob Betancourt, Sally and Barry Martin, Jim and Joy Bennington, Bailey Williams, Ron Vandeman, Gary and Pam Alvord, Bob Adema, Tim Limbach, Ginger Hahn, Maralyn Hartsfield, Genie Marshall, Renal Hook, and Mary and Mike Selby
Greeters in the Narthex each Sunday and for special services include some of the Ushers above and Marcia and Dale Powers, Harold and Nell Bergstrom, Priscilla and Brewster Seewald, Bill and Dorothy Carlin, Beverly Hunsberger, Priscilla Barranger, Helen Brown, and Doormen, Major Leckie Jim Bennington and Ben Rothberg.
THANK YOU ALL for your help and support!
Membership CommitteeLESLIE ATKINS, MARCIA POWERS, CHERRIE BIRKMAN
In 2015, we welcomed 15 new members into the Roser family. Our committee has been diligently working to update our membership rolls so we have a more accurate picture of our numbers. In order to complete this process, we sent out 72 letters to those folks who have not attended services according to the Sunday sign in sheets in a year. We asked them if they would like the pastor to call, or have they transferred to another church, or would they like to keep in contact with Roser via email, or if there was any way we could be of help, or would they like to be completely dropped from our rolls. After sending out 3 requests each, we received about 31 responses, 18 of which were returned by the Post Office as being undeliverable. We learned that 2 are deceased and 11 had transferred to other churches. Our bottom line is we have 315 individual members on our active rolls of which 114 are Federated. This year 20 members went home to our Heavenly Father.
As a result of our Church Retreat in October, the committee readdressed our policy for joining Roser. We met with Pastor Bob to try to expedite the procedure as follows:
1. A Committee member would contact the prospective member to ask if he/she would like the Pastor to call and talk about membership.2. Pastor would meet with the prospective member to ask him/her if he/she had questions about Roser and to give him/her our information sheet to fill out.3. On the first available Sunday, Pastor will introduce and welcome him/her as a new member to the congregation. A member of the committee will be on hand at the service.
It is our hope that this will make membership more accessible to more prospective members instead of waiting to find 2 weeks that are convenient for an entire group. Presently, we have about a dozen people inquiring about membership.

Music CommitteeJOY BENNINGTON, CHAIRPERSON
The Music Committee’s task is to give aid and encouragement to our church music ministry. We oversee and evaluate the work of our Director of Music Ministry. We recommend budget support for our music program, see to the needs of our music library, music equipment, and special music programs. Members serving in 2015 were Glenda Beck, David Cheshire, Eleanor Cochran, Jeanette Rothberg and Randy Zion.
The Music Ministry began 2015 with an Interim Music Director, Phyllis O’Keef. Phyllis continued all responsibilities of the job until a new Director of Music Ministry was hired. She directed the Chancel Choir, the Roser Ringers Handbell Choir, monitored the Joyful Noise Children’s Choir, accompanied instrumental and vocal soloists, chose the worship service music and provided the piano/organ music for worship service. All areas of the Music Ministry remained intact and continued to move forward during this interim period which began November 6, 2014 and ended May 4, 2015 when our new Director of Music Ministries came on board. We thank Phyllis O’Keef for her efforts and knowledge in keeping our program strong during this interim period.
The Search Committee for a Director of Music Ministry began its task in October of 2014 and completed their work the end of January 2015. With a recommendation from the Music Search Committee, Music Committee, and Board of Stewardship and Finance, the motion to offer Kristen Stanton the position of Roser Director of Music Ministry was taken to Council for approval on February 18, 2015. Kristen Stanton accepted our offer and began the position on May 4, 2015.
On March 21, a Pancake Breakfast fundraiser for the Music Program was held under the direction of Glenda Beck. It was a great success and many choir members helped cook, serve and clean up. Thank you, Glenda for all your work.
A beautiful Easter Cantata written by Pepper Choplin, “Come, Touch the Robe,” was presented during the Palm Sunday worship service. At Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services special music was prepared by the Handbell Choir, soloists and a choir ensemble.
On April 12, a “Music Sunday” Worship Service was held. All groups of the Music Ministry were represented. Joyful Noise Children’s Choir, Roser Ringers and the Chancel Choir prepared special music as well as the reading of scriptural passages from the Bible that refer to music.
A “Thank You” Fellowship Hour was held after the April 19, worship service for Phyllis O’Keef. The congregation and the music programs expressed their appreciation to Phyllis for all she had done for the music ministry since November 2014, as Interim Music Director.
Kristen Stanton directed the Chancel Choir for the first time on May 10. The Music Committee and Phyllis O’Keef, at Kristen’s request, had selected and rehearsed anthems and a response for the month of May.We were ready and well rehearsed for Kristen’s first Sunday of directing on May 10. Thanks to all who participated in the smooth transition.
Music Recognition Sunday was held October 25. The Music Committee hosted a “Welcome, Kristen” Fellowship Hour which allowed the congregation to meet and greet Kristen and her husband, Scott.
The Joyful Noise Children’s Choir kept a busy schedule of singing once a month in worship service as well as doing outreach in the community. They sang for Bayfest, the Anna Maria Historical Society Christmas sing, the Christmas on Bridge Street Sing and in the Roser Christmas Cantata. Kristen did advertising and visitations to Anna Maria Elementary and the Community Center over the summer. Fourteen children began the season in September singing in the Joyful Noise Choir.

Nominating CommitteeSHERRY OEHLER
Each year, this committee is challenged to find people who are willing to serve in one of the many nominated positions. Our list of those members who can be nominated is about 250 people. Of that number, many are seasonal or unable to take a position. This leaves our list of candidates at about 100. Thank you to all that are willing.
Your Nominating Committee began meeting in October to fill the various positions available on the Church Council, Boards and Committees. At this writing, we are still working on a Missions Chair. In 2015, a new standing committee was formed called Digital Applications. There will be a chair who then asks for members to serve.
This committee is pleased to nominate 16 to new positions, 7 agreed to serve a second 2-year term and 39 are in the middle of one of their 2-year terms. The total number of voting members of Roser Church’s Council is 65.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Nominating Committee – Glenda Beck, Marc Deur, Susan Nudd, Priscilla Seewald, Edna Sinnott and Ron Vandeman. Their hard work shows in the following list for 2016.
The Roser Ringers Handbell Choir plays monthly in the worship service. An acoustics ensemble and a jazz ensemble were formed in September and play monthly in the worship service. All have been well received. Scott Stanton, Kristen’s husband, arranged the music for the instrumentalists. Thank you, Scott.
The Concert Series for 2015 continued to be successfully bring in new people to Roser. Randy Zion has done a great job managing and directing the concert series. Season Four’s performers were The Ditchfield Family Singers (January), Bling! (Sweet Adeline’s quartet) and Mike Markaverich (jazz pianist) (February), and the Sarasota Orchestra Woodwind Quintet (March). A Performer Selection Committee was formed in February to assist Randy and Kristen in choosing performers for the 2016 season.
We want to give special thanks to Gary Willingham and Jay Cram who have filled the positions of Bass and Tenor section leaders, respectively, for the past two years. The positions were discontinued as of December 20, 2015.
We give special thanks to those who provided extra service to our music program at Roser during 2015: Phyllis O’Keef, who accompanied the sectional rehearsals for the Christmas Cantata and played organ in the instrumental ensemble; Lorna Smilde, Mary Deur, Karen DiCostanzo, Marc Duer, Jay Cram, Gary Willingham and Scott Stanton for their singing and/or instrumental talents shared; to those from the congregation who volunteered this year for the Lenten Cantata and the Christmas Cantata; to Randy Zion who continues to manage and direct the Roser
Concert Series along with his committee: Mary Deur, Lorna Smilde and Joy Bennington; and, the Music Committee – Glenda Beck, David Cheshire, Eleanor Cochran, Jeanette Rothberg, Randy Zion and Joy Bennington (Chairperson).
The Music Committee and all of the Chancel Choir members thank the Roser Missions Committee for the generous donation of monies to purchase 45 new music folders.

Roser Memorial GuildPEGGY NASH, RETIRING PRESIDENT
Many, many thanks to all who have been supportive and active in Roser Guild. We have had another very good year. There are too many of you for me to mention by name. You know who you are, Special People. You are very much appreciated!!!!!
Thanks to all of you who pray regularly for Roser Church, this community, country, and for world peace.
Thanks to all who attend Guild and Circle meetings and those who
host them. Thanks to the Guild Board of Directors and those on the Guild Thrift Shop Management Team. Your coins and dollars in the Hunger Fund cans help provide food for those on this island who need it from the food pantry.
A special thanks to the nominating committee and those who have agreed to serve as officers for the next two years, especially Susan Cheshire, President, Cherrie Birkman, Secretary, Mary Seine, Treasurer, and Margo Kingsley, Assistant Treasurer.
Thanks to all who come twice a month to Migrant Sewing to make layettes and knot quilts. And thanks to those who donate children’s shoes, clothes, toys etc. that we take to Church Women United for those less fortunate. We were pleased to be able to provide children’s quilts when needed this fall for migrant children, who came earlier than usual this year. We were glad to be able to donate bags of school supplies, via the school coordinator of migrant/immigrant services, for fifty little ones entering school this year.
Thanks to the men and women who volunteer at the Roser Guild Thrift Shop, and those who donate nice things. You have made it possible for the Guild to have the funds to support
twelve local charities, scholarships and Roser Church. The charities are named and the amount given to each last year is listed in the colorful Guild brochure in the racks throughout the church.
Thanks to the Roser Church Staff, especially Charles, Matt, Cyndy, Bev, and Dr. Bob. They have been a wonderful help to the Guild this year.
All volunteers are important, very much appreciated, and I’m sure they will give the new Guild officers the same wonderful support. I’m counting on it.
