Pastor’s Report – 2017

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” Deuteronomy 7:9

Time flies when you are having fun. The busyness of the season and year end reports always seem to catch me by surprise. Yet they are useful in that they allow us a moment to reflect on the many ways God has been at work in Arnaud Mennonite Church this past year.

I am thankful for the many ways this congregation has reached out in ministry this past year. The fellowship meals and visitations planned and put on by Congregational & Community Care group. The youth activities, retreats, and programs creatively planned by Children & Youth. The Worship Team finding new ways to bring the gospel alive in our worship. And the stability of our Business and Maintenance Group as they keep the buildings and business end of our church running smoothly.

We are a small congregation. There have been bumps and uncertainty along the way this year. Moments of wondering if we are still viable. But as we look through these reports it is quite amazing to see all that we have gotten done. The variety of interests included and people willing to contribute whatever gifts or willingness they have to offer the church have blessed me.

Thankful and energized by each one of you, I look forward to how God will be revealed to be at work in the congregation at Arnaud Mennonite Church in 2018.

Coveting your prayers as we walk together,

Gloria Beck

Worship Team Annual Report for 2017

Our year started off on a bit of an unexpected note, with Harold Penner and Art Enns needing to do pulpit fill because Pastor Gloria was unable to talk without producing a coughing fit. Always good to have people comfortable with last minute changes on your team.Melissa Miller was our guest speaker in January. Glen & MaryAnne Calder came to share in February about their trip to visit their son in Egypt.Willard Metzler, Mennonite Church Canada Executive Minister, came to share with us in March.During Lent we began a sermon series on Conditioning our Souls and people from the congregation volunteered to make the bulletin covers.In April Sol Janzen came to deliver our morning message.For our Good Friday service, we used Carol Penner’s program called “A Funeral for Jesus” with lots of positive feedback.Dan Drouin, from St. Pierre Youth for Christ, brought the message for our May speaker.Cheryl Pauls, President of CMU came to speak in June, during both Sunday school and worship.

We focused a Sunday around the refugee crisis and the children had fun taking up a noisy offering that was matched by people in the congregation as well as the Canadian Food Bank.Summer finds many families taking in some much-needed vacation time between seeding and harvest. This often makes it difficult to find people available to help out with the worship service. So, this year we experimented with cancelling worship services for both the July long and August long weekends. Matt & Cheryl Peters came to share about their work with Winnipeg youth in September. It was also a time when many of the youth from Arnaud shared about their summer camping experiences.Our Thanksgiving Celebration was held on the actual thanksgiving weekend, which was a change from previous years when we had it the weekend after. This came with mixed reviews so we may need to revisit this decision in the coming year. The congregation once again turned in pictures from their year in review and Cyndee Holdnick put together another wonderful video presentation that was enjoyed by all.For our October Mission Sunday, we invited two refugees, now living in Winnipeg, to be our guest speakers. Muhur Haileyesus and Filmon Alay Aradom shared from their own experiences, helping us better understand the refugee crisis in our world today.Mike Doerksen, from Kingdom Adventures, came to share the many ways he experienced God at work during his quest of kayaking all the way to Hudson Bay.And once again, people submitted pictures of friends and loved ones who passed away this year, and Marianne Penner put together a memorial presentation that was shared the last Sunday of November.December has us looking forward to hearing Andrea Thiessen speak, the Children’s program on Christmas Eve, and planning for the Christmas Day service. We welcomed Adrian Thiessen into our membership through baptism and he has put his creative gifts to use by putting our scriptures on the screen, updating cables and mics, and doing a great job with our audio-visual elements. Even makes a pretty good story teller for our Advent children’s time.Margret Janzen has served as our representative to Church Council this year, as well as faithfully picking out most of the songs we sing during each worship services.It has been a fun and growing year of worship together. A big thank you to all who had a part in leading God’s people in worship this past year.Submitted by Gloria Beck

Business and Maintenance Report 2017

Our Church has potable water at last yeah. We were hooked up this summer. Another accomplishment this year is getting blueprints for the elevator electrical. We had an elevator repairman come and repair the elevator and was nice enough to bring 3 copies of the blueprints. One copy is in the pastor’s office, one is in the elevator and I have a copy (Brad Friesen). We also ordered 2 cordless microphone headsets to replace the broken one. Grass mowing and snow clearing seem to be done in a timely fashion. We are on better financial footing this year than we were last year at this time which is also good news. The bad news is we are still struggling to fill vacant positions. We are searching for a treasurer and will need a historian after the retirement of Mr. John N. Janzen. We would like to thank those presently serving and those finishing positions for all their hard work making this church function.

Submitted by Brad for Business and Maintenance committee

Cemetery report for 2017

We lost a member this year Walter Enns passed away. The funeral was in Winnipeg and burial in Elm Creek. We are also hoping to do a clean up project this summer including cutting branches and leveling dirt. The cutting of grass has gone well thank you to all the hard workers. Art Kathler and Brad Friesen

2017 Youth/Children Committee

This year our committee consisted of Shawn Holdnick, Ann Fillion, Kendra Penner, Janice Maynard

11

(chair), Megan Schlorff and Edith Friesen (co-chair). Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Megan who we want to thank for her service.

The year started with finding teachers of the spring quarter. The teachers were Wendy Kathler in the elementary class, Janice Maynard and Ann Fillion shared the Upper elementary class and Kendra Penner Youth class.

Planning was made for Palm Sunday.

Mothers’ day consisted of a breakfast prepared by the Youth and “prayer boxes” were made and handed out to Mothers by the younger classes. An “I love you because” video was made and presented on Mothers’ Day.

A lunch BBQ was organized for Fathers’ Day. A craft was made by the upper elementary class. They made a “Dad’s Stache” bag and cookies were added to the bags. The elementary class had a poem reading for the dads.

The June Sunday School was based around the theme “Fishers of men”. The basement was decorated with Under the Sea theme. Three sessions were planned: Jonah and the Whale, Fishers of Men and Red Sea.

Another Youth retreat was held at Cheryl and Dennis Janzen’s cabin. Youths (11-18 years old) were invited. Devotionals were planned by Brad Friesen, Shawn Holdnick, Corey Maynard, and Adrian Thiessen. Scavenger hunt and games were also organized. The retreat was held July 17-19. We want to thank Cheryl and Dennis for letting us use their cabin once again this year.

We carried out our “Fishers of Men” theme for promotion Sunday. Fishing games, fishing stories and collage were organized. A lunch was provided. No bibles were giving out this fall. The SS teachers for the fall and winter quarters were Janice Maynard, Ann Fillion, Edith Friesen, Shawn Holdnick and Kendra Penner.

September 24th was Camp Sunday. We had youth come up during the service and talk about their Summer Camps and Youth retreat.

Kendra Penner is now the Children and Youth rep on council. We want to thank Meagan Schlorff who had to step down from this position.

A progressive dinner is planned for the Youths. The event will take place December 22nd.

The SS classes will be presenting “12 Symbols of Christmas” on December 24 th.

We want to thank all of you who have donated your time to teach Sunday School this year.

God bless you,

Respectably presented by the Children/Youth Committee.

2017 Treasurer’s Report

12

Once again it is time for the yearly AMC financial reports & reflections.

2017 saw a fairly “status quo” financial year, with no major expenses to note. AMC now has water hookup, with the infrastructure expense to be paid with our taxes beginning in 2018. Thus the 2018 budget has a much higher amount for water expense then we have seen in the past.

We have also begun the amortization process on our books, at 5% per year for the church building and 10% per year for church equipment, so these expenses are noted as new line items. As such, our income and expense reports will show a large expense yearly, but I have broken out these numbers as well to show the functioning (cash) net income for the year.

You will note a slightly different budget format for this upcoming year. We have combined/removed some line items to form a larger budget for 3 new categories (worship, congregation and community care, children and youth) to better reflect how our congregation functions. These lines are not lost, but are amalgamated to give groups more control over how funds are distributed.

My report includes the:

- Balance Sheet- Income & Expense Statement- Income & Expense Graph- Annual Attendance & Collection Amounts- Mission Distribution- Annual Budget

Thank you again to everyone for your continued generosity in support of AMC.
