Super Church & Junior Church

Super Church continues to be operated by Pamela Running with the addition of Caroline Sharpe inFebruary 2012.

Super Church is currently using the 252 curriculum that offers the fundamentals of the Christianfaith and what that means and how it applies to their everyday lives. Through singing, skits,media, activities and discussion, your children will have loads of fun as they explore more of God!Our numbers continue to grow in Super Church as church body grows! Last count was over 40kids!!

We continue to work with our Super Church leaders to ensure children are checked in and outwith each session but it is a challenge we continue to work together on.Junior Church moved to an exciting renovated room this year on the churches lower level nextto the north-end stair well. This room offers secure access to washroom facilities, larger area forthe growing number of children and easier access to supplies and resources with a built-in closet.The teachers love this room and the children seem to as well!

Junior Church will be operated by Sharon Galashan as Wendy Woolhead takes leave in February2012. Junior Church shares the same Group-produced curriculum as our Sunday School and we arereceiving great feedback. Teachers love the options and simplicity it provides while making theBible a fun adventure for tots.

One-on-One Peer Assistance ProgramThis program was instituted after families with high-need children were feeling reluctant to attendand participate in certain programs because there wasn’t enough one-on-one support for theirchildren. These challenges included, ADHD, Asperger’s and Autism related cases.To help these children and families feel supported and welcomed, a team on One-one-Onehelpers was formed to work exclusively with these children.The candidates for one-on-one peer helpers were a group of 12 & 14 year-old studentshand-picked by Sharon and the pastoral staff. More than half accepted the opportunity with greatenthusiasm and have really excelled and made the program a success. We now offer One-on-OnePeer Helpers in both Junior and Senior Church. God is SO Good!!!Welcome Junior Church One-on-One Peer Helpers Josiah Sharpe, Elizabeth Heeringa & Eve Sales!

VBSAnother great success this year was our VBS program. We are hoping for another great summerwith Jennifer Hay leading the way. One of the Children’s Ministry goals is to provide someadditional camps (soccer and science) this summer that will keep a steady flow of kids in thebuilding all summer long.

BG CLUBWe continue to work alongside the Boys & Girls Club program that runs every Wednesday. Withthe help of Children’s Ministry Resources we have recruited nearly double the amount ofvolunteers that we have ever needed! With 97 children and counting, this continues to be ourmost successful kids and community/family ministry program!

Starting March 2012, Bonnie Pereira will be taking a final leave from the program to pursue otheropportunities. Sharon Galashan will be facilitating the program for the remainder of the year.

He that soweth discord among brethrenis an abomination unto the Lord.

(Proverbs 6:16-19)

New Children’s Ministry Resource Co-OrdinatorIn the spring of 2011, Sharon Galashan was recruited to help manage and organize the Children’sMinistries operations at Innisfil Community Church. Her job is to oversee Sunday School, Super Church programs, act as a resource for children’s ministryvolunteers and help facilitate other children’s activities that are planned throughout the year.Since coming on board, Sharon has achieved some significant goalsà

-Improved child security (check-in) procedures in all programs-Improved allergy awareness measures across all programs-Provided opportunities for volunteers to change or advance in Sunday School opportunities-Provided new opportunities for junior-high students to serve in kids programs-Provided ONE-ON-ONE Peer Assistance Program to Junior church for children with special

needs.-Maintained Volunteer files.-Created the Annual General Meeting of Children’s Ministry volunteers and leaders to discuss,

plan and set goals as a team for all programs.

Sunday SchoolIn taking Sunday School, things seemed a little exhausted. Numbers were low, budget was tight andteachers were tired. First on the agenda was to meet with the teachers. We discovered that manyteachers were ready to move on to new ages or onto other ministries in the church. Together, we were able to re-evaluate how to invite more teens into the program and provide kids withthorough bible study that was easy to understand, fun and manageable in a short time frame.It was established that there were too many classes and with too little children. We merged our primarygroups which gave more flexibility to volunteer teachers and made for larger groups which the kidsloved!The new class structure looks like this:Ages 3-6: Nickisha Hardware & Lili LupoAges 7-10: Elaine Heeringa & Myrtle BarhamThe next step was to draw in our older students. Pastor Mark took on that task with great successunder the youth ministry branch.After introducing a FREE and multimedia based curriculum, the results were fantastic! Pastor Mark andhis team took on the junior and senior high teens and in no time they welcomed a huge turnout and thenumbers are continuing to grow! The new class structure looks like this:Junior High: Donna Breen & Mark QuinlanSenior High: Kim & Keith RobbinsThe junior and senior high teens are using FREE curriculum produce by Life Church that includesinteractive video and media. The youngest group is using a curriculum designed by Group thatengages our little ones in the bible using games, play, singing and crafts.The adult classes continue on with the regular Adult Sunday School, New Believers and the AlphaCourse, both appears to be well attended. Some of the classrooms were recently repainted this year which made a huge difference to ourvolunteer staff. It really made them feel as though they were valued and appreciated. They were worthhaving nice rooms to work out of.Since restructuring our Sunday school classes, we have saved our Sunday School operating costsnearly $400.00 per term.A savings of $2000.00 per year without taking away the value of our programs but rather, increasingthe quality and the number of children and teens receiving the word of God!

PASTOR’S REPORTRev. Howard D. Courtney

It brings me great pleasure to see people working hand in hand to do the workof God, but more significant is to watch the spiritual growth and developmentof individuals as they partner in the mission of God’s kingdom. Thank you,thank you, thank you for allowing me to be your coach, and fellow labourer.The board has continued to serve well in the overall governance of the church.Special thanks goes to John Heeringa who has just completed one of thelongest consecutive terms as a board member. This makes him currentlyineligible for re-election this year. We have appreciated his leadership, input,and support at the board level over the past seven and a half years.

As your Pastor, I am blessed with not only a wonderful board, but we haveone of the finest support staffs ever! Pastor Rob Sharpe continually leads ussensitively into the presence of Jesus weekly through his worship leading. Hisministry support in the various areas of the church is invaluable. Pastor MarkQuinlan has been a gift from God, not only to us as a church, but to this greatcommunity around us- the Town Of Innisfil. Mrs. Marion Boone has broughtsuperb ministry and management skills into the office and a true sense ofstability in our church family. Annette Langeveld capably and confidentiallymanages all our charitable receipting. And then, there is Beulah, my greatcompanion and partner in ministry who serves as an Administrative Assistant,serving us in many areas of the church work, the least of which is not theBenevolence wing that embraces the food and clothing outreaches. A specialthanks to each of these. The Benevolence ministries have taken on a wholenew expanded role this past year.

And then there are so many others like Rev. June White, our Seniors andVisitation Pastor, Rev. Gordon and Jan Norman who care for our NewBelievers Class, Pastor Ron and Sharon Emmons who diligently teachmaturing saints, Pastor Gerry and Margaret French who has championed ourPrayer Ministry, and there are so many more that could be added to the list....

Thank you, each one, on behalf of our Saviour, Jesus, for being obedient inthe giving freely of your tithes and offerings. Without your faithful giving, muchof what follows would not have been accomplished. Thank you, again.

We have a great church. We want to continue to build it that way. Wetreasure the sense of God’s presence amongst us. We have a lost worldaround us to reach. We have been called for such a time as this. Let ourhearts and hands be joined together with singleness of heart to please ourGod and accomplish His purposes together!

What follows is not just a report... it is a GOOD NEWS REPORT filled with theevidence of God at work right under our own two feet!

2011 BENEVOLENCE REPORTSubmitted by Beulah Courtney

ClothingThe Clothing Depot has become a bee-hive of activity! Over this past year atotal of 670+ volunteer hours were documented. Every day (withoutexception) donations are dropped off, and throughout the week every bagof clothes is sorted and placed on shelves or racks in preparation for themonth’s Free Shopping Night.In 2010, we distributed a total of 590 bags of clothing. This year (I couldhardly believe it), the total bags given out amounted to 1,388! For thosewho have been here during these shopping nights, you would havewitnessed the line-ups all the way down the foyer, some coming an hourbefore the store opened. It is chaotic, a lot of hard work, and fun all at thesame time, but it is also very rewarding!I am so grateful to those who serve alongside me on those “crazy”nights andwould like to personally thank Charleen Young, The Hay Family (Bryan,Jennifer and Abbey) and Jacki Shepherd who all help to keep things runningsmoothly and who serve with such love and compassion. I love thisoutreach!!

FoodThe Innisfil Food Bank has “expanded!” Over the past six months,particularly, an overwhelming abundance of food has been donated fromwithin the community. In August of 2011 we received over two tons of foodfrom the ICE Corps (Innisfil Community Events) Summerfest weekendactivities. As well, during Thanksgiving and Christmas, food kept pouring infrom local businesses, schools and anonymous donors. This created a(good) dilemma! We needed somewhere to store the food, other than thefew shelves that we were currently using in the Clothing Depot. As a resultwe have now organized and designated the new kitchen (just off thesanctuary) as the official Innisfil Food Bank. This past year we prepared112+ food boxes, which more than doubled the number of boxes we did in2010. We are very grateful to those who support the Food Bank and whopartner with us to serve this community. Together we ARE making adifference!

Thank you for allowing me to serve in these two capacities of ministry. Ithas been an awesome privilege!

EVANGELISTIC

NEWSPAPER OUTREACHFor the twenty-second consecutive year we have produced our own newspaper called“FOCUS”. With a free distribution, the production and circulation is now 16,000!Normally, we publish it 3 times a year: an Easter Issue, September Issue, and ChristmasIssue. This past year, due to lack of finances, we were unable to publish the Easter issue.Though costly to do, we have felt that the presentation of the Gospel to every homethrough this newspaper publication has been a worthwhile endeavour.

We trust that many have, and that others will yet come to Christ due to thesenewspaper productions. If not, at the very least we hope that they have been stirred torespond to spiritual matters in their lives. Each year we see results though often its impactis difficult to measure. Sometimes the articles are controversial in nature and raise aresponse and awareness of spiritual or Christian issues of current interest.

We invite you to submit articles written by yourself for consideration, howeverwe do reserve editorial privilege and can not print all that we receive.

May God continue to bless this special evangelism tool to help us penetrate ourCommunity, sometimes sowing, often watering, and hopefully periodically reaping!

FACILITY USE REPORTEvery year there are several who request use of the church facilities for a numberof reasons. Some are personal family events. Some are businesses. And othersare community groups and organizations that can not afford to rent public space,or such space is not available in the community.In each case, a facility use request is submitted, and based on existing churchpolicy and space availability, a decision is made whether or not the church facilityis available to the applicant.Among those using the church facilities in 2011 were the following applicants:Regular Programs:Al Anon/ Alcona Friendship, Alcoholics Anonymous (Love & Service), GirlGuides/Sparkes, Canadian Blood Services, Early (Ont.) Years - “Life With Baby”,Mother Care, Business Networking International Periodic BusinessesTim Horton’s Training, Life Touch PhotographyPersonal Events:Birthday Parties, Water Baptismal Receptions, Dedication Receptions, FuneralReceptions, Wedding Showers, Weddings, Funerals, LaTienda, CharityFundraising Party, Private Physio-Therapy ClassesCommunity Groups - Periodic:Innisfil Ministerial Association, Innisfil Talent Search, Victory Academy, ChristmasEve Dinner, Huronia Sectional Youth, Soccer Training, Scrapbook Group, HolyCross Graduation Ceremonies, AWARE, ICE Corp., The Celtic Festival Committee,Focus On The Family, Gilford & District Horticultural Society, & Kid Proof-Simcoe.

Thank you for helping us reach the community!

Who said it couldn’t be FUN!

13

VOLUNTEERISM IS ESSENTIAL!I say it every year!! Thank YOU to the many, many, MANY who so

freely gave of their time, energy and skill to make the church productiveand effective over the past year. The success of the many churchprograms and ministries is dependent on those who are involved asvolunteer leaders in those areas.

Programs and ministries where people have a heart and passionto serve usually flourish!

The current economic crisis around the world touches all of us.More than ever, volunteers are needed to pick up on areas where salariedpeople once served. The church is no different. Finances often limit thework, but volunteers can make the difference.

There are several key leadership positions in the church that areappointed annually. Each position is very important. Many positionsinvolve coordinating, overseeing, and directing a larger group ofvolunteers.

There are numerous opportunities for service for those who chooseto faithfully support the goals and objectives of the church.Others are involved in support roles where many are very comfortableserving under the leadership and direction of someone who oversees theirministry spot. Each is a valuable member of the team. There are thosewho fill the sanctuary pews with offering envelopes, those who serve asgreeters, hosts, and ushers, those who do general repairs and clean up,those who assist by being part of our medical response team, our in-house fire safety inspector, and so on....

God is delighted with those who have a servant’s heart, and aservant’s attitude.

A special thanks goes to our current staff members who haveserved over the past year... Pastor Rob Sharpe, Pastor Mark Quinlan, Marion Boone, Beulah Courtney and Annette Langeveld who are in theoffice helping us support the many other volunteers.

Someone once said “It is amazing what can be accomplished ifyou don’t care who gets the credit!”

Yes, WE ALWAY S NEED VOLUNTEERS!The question is, “Will YOU be one?”.

2011 Ministry to Men ReportSubmitted by Brad Young

Men tend to be very busy so they often find it difficult to make thetime to connect with other men. This is something that has beenapparent for quite a while in working with men. We have, therefore,attempted to have events at a variety of times and in a variety ofways. There is no doubt that many guys seem to like sports. The mostpopular men’s events, that we have continued from last year, areSaturday night hockey, monthly wing nights (talk, laugh, eat wingsand watch sports…could it get better?!?), and our baseball team. Our baseball team repeated from the year before as consolationchampions, following almost an identical path to get there. Plaguedwith injury, we kept plugging and managed to pull it off in the end.

We attended two conferences, the REAL DADS Men’s Conference inApril and the Promise Keeper’s Men’s Conference in November. Allwho attended both conferences got a lot out of them. After the AprilConference, the keynote speaker, Paul Coughlin, from Oregon,stayed until Sunday to speak to the congregation to a standingovation.

At the end of September, we had a lot of men and their spouses goout to the movies to see “Courageous”. What a movie! Finally, wehad three men’s breakfasts with a variety of speakers, each bringingtheir own unique story to the table.

The new year of Ministry to Men will see the return of small groupsbased on the Courageous movie and other worthy topics and books. While the small groups will take a primary focus, we will continue withthe hockey, baseball and Wing Nights. May this be the year that wesee a revival of the hearts of men towards their God and theirfamilies!

Assistant Pastor’s ReportRev. Robert Sharpe

What an incredibly busy year 2011 was! I continue to thank God for all He has done andcontinues to do in and through Innisfil Community Church. Throughout the course of thisyear many hearts and lives have been touched in great ways by the power of Godthrough the community of our church. It is my privilege and pleasure to serve the Lord inall of the capacities that I do at ICC and I am very thankful to be a part of this amazingstaff team. With all of the many things that we accomplished throughout this past yearthere are three that really stick out as highlights for me!

1. Financial Peace University.This “small” group/class was a smashing success! The power of this course material andthe class enrollment in short blew away all of my expectations!Check out these unbelievable numbers and results:- Total FPU class enrollment: 140 people (50+ households)Class members were surveyed at the beginning of the class (Feb 1/2011) to find:- Total collective class debt: $2.2 million! - Class average household consumer debt: $38,000 (not including mortgages)Class members were surveyed at the end of the class (April 12/2011):- Total collective class debt: $1.4 million! ($800,000 paid off!!)- Class household debt average: $32,000.00- Total collective class savings: $71,447.00 (in 11 weeks)- Class household savings average: $1623.00 (in 11 weeks)

2. Spring Prayer Emphasis. From February to the end of May we began a prayer emphasis during our Sunday eveningservice times. These services were special times in seeking God and incredibly fulfillingfor all who attended. We learned about and practiced waiting on the Lord in variousdifferent ways. Video series from Jim Cymbala and Bill Hybels were the teachingbackdrop for some incredible times of corporate prayer and personal prayer.

3. Building Strong Kids.In the spring (April) we revisited (4th year running) our Innisfil Community Church BoysBall Hockey League with 50+ kids in 2 divisions. We played 10 weeks of ball hockey onSaturday mornings culminating with our Championship Day where we gave out trophies toall participants. This ministry is a great cost effective way to introduce many newcommunity kids to our church! Also, our annual kid’s Christmas musical has become a delightful way to wrap up the yearat ICC. This year a team of 20+ leaders worked with 70+ kids on this year’s production,“The Christmas County Spelling Bee” from September to December! Once again this issuch a great connection with the kids and families of our community. All of the kids andleaders involved are to be commended as they all did an amazing job pulling off threetremendous performances! In closing I would also like to make a special note of thanks to everyone on the worshipteam who tirelessly give their time and their talents to God. It is a delight to work witheach one of you week in and week out! Your service to Him is a great blessing to ourchurch family and many others as well. May He multiply His blessings to you in return!!

PRAYER REPORT

One of the things God frequently speaks about in the Bible is prayer.

In I Thessalonians 5:17 we read:"Pray without ceasing"

I Peter 4:7 says:"be serious and watchful in your prayers"

And Romans 12:12 speaks of:"continuing steadfastly in prayer"

Colossians 4:2 repeats this when it says:"Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it withthanksgiving"

We often refer to the words of the little poem: “Only One Life, ‘twill Soon Will Be Past,

Only What’s Done For Christ Will Last”

But in reality, it’s not just what is done FOR Christ, but rather WITH Christ.

All of the programs, activities and events of Innisfil Community Church areupheld by the prayers offered by all of us before, during and after they happen.We recognize the fact that “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vainthat build it.”

Every Friday morning at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Gerry French rallied the troups ... staffand whoever else is available, to a time of prayer and seeking God for theneeds of the congregation and for the covering of God’s Spirit in all that we do. This is the one time during the week that is set aside, not for teaching, not forBible study, but to talk with our God and voice our needs and desires.

Other prayer times are mingled as components of other services and events.There are times of prayer before services, during services and after services. What we have discovered is that “with God, all things are possible”. And.... without Him, all our efforts are in vain!

2011 BG Club ReportSubmitted by Bonnie Pereira

The Boys and Girls club is our Midweek program that strives to disciple 5-10 year olds throughBible lessons, badge work, crafts, games and special events. Some of our members were bornin a church pew and some were not. Regardless of their spiritual heritage, our main focus is tolend a hand as the body of Christ to "train up [children] in the way they should go so when [theyare] old [they] will not turn from it". This time last year I was writing how great it was that we finally had enough volunteers to meetthe needs of our three overflowing classes. I am happy to report that we now have sevenoverflowing classes and would love to split into eight (we have 19 kids in the ten year olds classand that's a lot of big bodies). Ideally, we would add a games person to our team who would beable to run games for all the age groups on a rotating schedule (a different group each week). We are also still in need of regular volunteers to be willing to co-teach classes and others thatmight be willing to "supply" teach every now and then. Church members are welcome to be a part of planning and executing some of our specialevents including: -"The Hallelujah Party" - a fun carnival atmosphere meant to provide a fun, family alternative tocelebrating halloween-"Noah Day" - a celebration of God's Amazing Creation where kids are able to touch and learnabout the live animals brought in by Zoo Tek-"Christmas Party" - reminding children that Christmas is a time to celebrate both the first andsecond advent of Christ and to encourage a spirit of generousity.-"Super Amazing Crazy Games" - 'nuff said.-"Family Skating Night"- we rent the arena and invite the neighbourhood to join us for a skateand hot chocolate.-"BG Club Sleepover"- the kids go for a swim, McDonald's, a movie and a good sleep only towake up to a pancake breakfast and grateful parents pick them up in the morning.We also like to have random dress-up events like Crazy Hair Day, Pajama Day, Who do youwant to be when you grow up? among others. Please speak to Sharon Galashan or Bonnie Pereira if you are interested in helping out in anyway or if you would like to "drop in" and see what BG Club is all about.

2011 The GAtE ReportSubmitted by Pastor Mark

This past year God has truly shown Himself faithful as we have seenamazing growth in our junior high students, not only in numbers but mostimportantly in spiritual understanding.

Our program is intentionally designed to reach the community. From how weorganize the night to our small group we have all levels of understanding andknowledge in God in mind. We start every night in the gym for 30 minutes. We do this for 2 reasons the first is because it’s a great meeting spot thatcreates consistency, the other reason is that it allows us to connect with thestudents in an environment where the leaders and I can just have fun withthem while making them secure in the sense that we want to be there. Afterwe leave the gym we head up to the youth room where every student is putinto 1 of 4 teams. These teams are created to help the students bond withtheir small group leader who is in their team, it also creates fun competitionas the students attempt to collect points as we play minute to win it games (ifyou do not know what minute to win it games are its a TV show and a youthpastor’s best friend). The game takes about 5 minutes and we have a lot offun watching the competition happen. The next part is what I consider to bethe most important part for making real connections. We take the next 20 to25 minutes to just hang out, we open tuck shop, we have all the activities inthe youth room open and ready (pool table, ping pong, fuse ball, gamingsystems, etc…). The reason why I feel this is our greatest connection point isbecause we allow the students to have fun with the leaders. The leaders areintentionally making friends and tearing down the walls of communication. After this time of bonding we start our small groups. Small group time alwaysstarts at 8:00 pm to ensure the leaders have enough time to share biblicaltruths with our students.

I feel this program works because it emulates Jesus’ ministry. Jesus wasvery relational in his approach and I feel that if we want to connect and trulyreach our junior high students we need to open the lines of communicationand build relationships that point them to a bigger & better relationship withJesus. I believe it is because of our intentional approach that God has blessed uswith 60 to 70 students every week and see student’s lives changed for thebetter. We continually strive for connections and our prayer for this next year is thatGod will allow us to keep reaching Junior Highs of this community .

2011 Fuel Youth MinistriesSubmitted by Pastor Mark

It has been another year where God has truly shown me His love for people throughthese students. Our Senior High is an amazing group of students with hearts forevangelism; we have found Innisfil to be a mission field, especially for teens. Someone once told me no matter how big your youth group is or the combinedministry of all the churches in the area; the devil has a bigger youth group! With thatin mind we have designed our ministry to reach out and do our part to win the fight inour high school student’s lives. If you listen to the things going on in our youth culturetoday you will discover that it is very destructive. There is a mentality of ‘everythinggoes’ which can and has wrecked lives and futures. It is our mission to help thesestudents fight the trend in their schools, in their lives and in the lives of their friends.

This year there has been an incredible amount of FUN. We started the year off withour new year’s event that lasted 12 hours. I know you must be thinking that 12 hoursis a long time to fill with activities, but you would be surprised how fast it goes whenyou’re having fun. In March we did our fundraising dinner for Overflow; our annualdistrict event. As a church you truly came through once again and we were able tosend our students for an affordable cost. Without your help it would not be possible. In May we went to Overflow and it was an amazing spirit filled weekend! There issomething to be said about getting 3000 students in a hockey arena & calling on Godwith passion. God shows up in amazing ways and these students leave changed.

This summer we spent a lot of time connecting with our students as we did beachdays, bon-fires and extreme games that nearly killed me; I may be 31 but I’m trappedin a much older body! In August I took a team of students and leaders up toCochrane Ontario for a mission’s trip. This trip was amazing because I was able tosee God at work in a small community through the lives of our teenagers. While wewere there we ran drop in days at the beach for the community kids, we hung outdown town connecting and getting to know the community while ministering to andpraying for people. One of the last nights we were there we held a free bowling nightfor the community and we packed the place out! Being able to tell them that thereason were doing all we were doing for their community is just to let them know thatJesus loves them is one of the best and selfless feelings, and you know it means somuch to them.

November was another month to highlight. Medeba is a leadership camp where weconnect with 3 other churches for a retreat. Our band led worship and the speakerwas amazing; he really poured into our lives! Again, it’s amazing what can happenwhen you go away for a weekend with a group of students to meet with God.I love what I do and God has been faithful. I want to thank our church family for yoursupport, although you don’t see all of our students, they’re a part of our church familyand without your prayers and support we could not do what we do in reaching theirlives. Thank you again!
