Here`s - Salmon Cove / Perry`s Cove Pastoral Charge

A Message from Rev. Wayne ...
Once again, in the midst of snowstorms and power outages, I must take a
moment to reflect. This winter has been a difficult one - more snow and more cold
than we have been accustomed to in recent years. As those who have the
interest and financial wherewithal head to warmer climates, those of us who
cannot, settle in for the long haul. Having said that, one glance at the evening
news is enough to make us thankful for our abundance of blessings and
geography. While we do face the daily challenge which comes from our
province’s newfound prosperity, we must also face the reality that the changes
will bring about a new lifestyle for many of our people and our communities. The rural and peaceful
setting of our communities is quickly disappearing. The small country church which saw many of
us come to faith is becoming a dying breed. Accessibility issues mean some of our people cannot
attend worship. The reality of local mega-projects, “camp jobs”, and inter-province commuting has
changed the demographics of our congregations forever. More disposable income in younger
families simply mean more choices of what to do on a Sunday - and, to be truthful, the church
seldom makes the shortlist! At first glance, the future does not look bright.
The good news is that we, as a church, are being forced to look at where we have been, where we
are now, and where we might possibly be in the future. The other good news is that we are not
alone - not only is God with us as our Creed proclaims, but our sisters and brothers from other
denominations and religions are walking this path as well. We are being forced to consider our
place in the world. No longer can we claim authority and privilege simply because we are baptized
Christians - our authority must now be lived out in the world. I am beginning to understand that
this may be closer to the message of Christ that we might have once thought. As we head into the
unknown, it is with a sense that the mystery which is God is continuing to be revealed.
At this point I have about three months left in my term as President of the Newfoundland and
Labrador Conference. The experience has been wonderful, and I thank you again for allowing this
to be a part of my ministry with you. I estimate that I will have traveled an extra 5000 kilometres this
year in addition to my pastoral charge travel. The extra duties come with a cost of course, and while
I have tried to maintain a pastoral charge presence, sometimes it has been necessary to be away
for a few days, or reschedule events and worship. I look forward to returning to a “normal”
schedule and thank many of you for helping out this past year. I would not have been able to serve
our Conference without your support and help.
Hertha and I want to thank you all for your continued support
for us and our ministry among you. Unbelievably, we are on
the verge of ending our tenth year on this pastoral charge.
It has been a pleasure to serve you in whatever ways we
have, and, while the future is unknown, I pray we will journey
together for a while longer. May you be blessed in the
journey we share, and may God continue to bless you all.
In Christ’s love,
Rev. Wayne

SESSION ANNUAL REPORT - 2013
Salmon Cove / Perry’s Cove Pastoral Charge, under Rev. Wayne and Hertha Blackwood’s leadership,
continued its mission of offering spiritual guidance and fellowship to our congregations.
Rev. Wayne started his term as President of NL Conference in June of 2013. This has been a source
of pride for our pastoral charge and good wishes are with him as he continues his term.
Communion was served monthly with home visits being made to those shut-ins who requested same.
The Faith Formation and Christian Education Committee and the Pastoral Care Committee have
continued their work within our churches and meet regularly.
Again this year Session opted for one service each week of Lent. A series of musical guests were
invited, and attendance was good. The Senior Choir presented a Cantata on Good Friday. Early
morning communion and regular service in each church made for a very busy Easter Sunday.
Session feel that three services on Easter Sunday many not be necessary and will discuss changes
for 2014.
Our various church groups continue to do their part to make worship meaningful and interesting.
Several UCW members attended the Retreat at Burry Heights and our delegates represented us well
at East District meetings. Several car-loads of members from both congregations drove to Bonavista
in June to attend Rev. Wayne’s Installation Service as President of Conference.
Absences brought on by Rev. Wayne’s vacation and Conference duties have been covered, for the
most part, by volunteer lay leaders from our pastoral charge. We offer them our sincere thanks.
Vacation Bible School was held in August. We thank the youth leaders for their interest and the UCW
women who provided the lunches.1
Discussions have been initiated with our neighbouring pastoral charges concerning common problems
and possible solutions. Talks will continue in 2014.
A special “Back-to-Church” joint morning service was held in early fall with worship, games and a
barbeque. It was a fun day for adults and children alike. The FFCE Committee is to be commended
for its fine organization of this event.
In September our Riverside Sunday School implemented its new “Godly Play” curriculum based
on the telling of stories from the Bible. Wooden figures are used and the children are enjoying the
sessions.
As a pastoral charge we have made good progress, but the journey isn’t over. Let’s thank God for our
achievements and ask for strength to continue along the road.

The suggested financial objective for 2014 remains at $ 325.00 per householder,
consisting of $ 250.00 for Weekly Budget Expenses and $ 75.00 for Local Expenses.
Please note however, that if ALL householders gave this minimum amount we would not
be able to meet our expenses. In actual fact, and using 2013 figures, the amount required
to meet current expenses would be around $ 400.00 per household.
Please consider this as you plan your 2014 stewardship levels.

CHURCH PROPERTIES COMMITTEE
(2013 saw the consolidation of our former Property Committee and Cemetery Committee into the one
Church Properties Committee. What follows are highlights of the committee as they begin to carry
out their new mandate. The report is a compilation of reports by Gordon King, former Board Chair
and Carl Peach, elected Church Properties Chair in September.)
Steeple Removal
After the last Annual Meeting of the Board of Management, we received a bid of $5995.00 to remove
the tower from the church. At a fall congregational meeting it was decided to accept the bid to
remove the tower, with a future plan to install a redesigned tower when finances allow. Dale’s Roofing
will remove the tower and rebuild the roof in the spring.
Cemetery Cleanup
The men of the Properties Committee and one resident of the town showed up in June to do some
maintenance on the cemetery. We levelled about 15 grave sites. Lunch was provided by the Leisure
and Recreation Committee. Another day in the Fall, allowed us to fill in several more grave sites.
Properties Maintenance
The regular maintenance on the Cemetery and Church Grounds was done during the summer by
Rendall Slade. Fall maintenance and winter preparations were done in October
Summer Student Grant
We hired a student for the Summer Grant. He painted the tables in the church hall and part of the
stairwell leading upstairs. After three weeks he quit, but we were lucky enough to get another student
in his place. He finished cleaning out the old office and painted it. He also mowed the grass once
around the manse and helped catalogue grave sites in the cemetery.
Window and Tower Funds
Both a Window Fund and Tower Fund were established to finance the removal of the tower and the
installation of new windows in the church. Two new windows have been ordered for the front of the church.
Seal and Save from Bay Roberts will install the windows when weather permits.
Hot Water Boiler
A hot water boiler was installed to supply hot water to all three bathrooms.
New Lighting
The senior choir requested that brighter lights be installed in the choir area. The committee decided
to replace all bulbs in the main body of the church.

Under the leadership of President, Margaret Clarke, our UCW group had another very busy and
successful year. Three Executive meetings were held - one in January and two in April. All decisions
were brought back to our members for information and approval. We held nine regular meetings with
approximately twenty-six members in attendance. All members contributed to our discussions and
decision-making.
The Sick and Visitation Committee (Isabelle and Lorna) reported to each general meeting. In 2013
they sent approximately 24 sympathy cards, 26 get-well cards, 21 birthday cards, and made
approximately 47 visits and phone calls. In addition, they delivered Christmas gifts and cards to 22
shut-ins in December.
A financial update was given at each meeting by our Treasurer.
Here’s a brief outline of our activities for 2013:
•
held four major fundraisers during the year
•
helped with a Valentine’s Party for the Sunday School
•
helped with lunches for the July Vacation Bible School

Members passed away this year - Jessie Kelloway, Myrtle Slade, Meta Slade, Hannah M. Penney,
and Marjorie Penney. Another member left the community to stay at a nearby personal care home,
and we will miss her attendance and contribution. On a positive note, one new member joined our
UCW family in March. We thank God for all our blessings.

RIVERSIDE UNITED CHURCH WOMEN OUTREACH COMMITTEE
During the past year UCW members have been giving a loonie or a toonie at each meeting to donate
to the Stella Burry Foundation. This year $210.00 was collected and forwarded whereby much
needed items could be purchased. In April we held a “Bring and Buy” at our regular meeting and
$200.00 was raised. This amount was presented to O’Shaughnessy House in Carbonear. Staff and
residents were very appreciative. In addition to local outreach our members also donated $200.00
to the Philippine Relief Fund to aid those affected by Typhoon Haiyan.
Our organization has been very active and has had a rewarding year both spiritually and financially.
Many thanks to those who have made 2013 so successful!

RIVERSIDE MEN’S FELLOWSHIP ACTIVITY REPORT
2013 has been very much in line with previous years. We are pleased to be present at the various
seniors’ homes in our area as their schedule requested us for service to their residents. Providing
parking and ushering services were continued at funeral services when needed.
We were honoured and pleased to attend a Men’s Fellowship supper at Bethany United and a Men’s
Male Choir service at Coughlan United during the year. Our Annual Valentine’s Supper and Shrove
Tuesday “Pancake and Ashes”service were well attended. Our thanks go to the general public for
their support. We were pleased to continue our monetary support to the different church
organizations: the Sunday school from the Annual Soup Supper revenue, Board of Management
Window Fund from 2012 Christmas Memorial Hymn Sing, and the UCW towards the cost of food
warmers for the kitchen, which has been proven to be very beneficial. Our 10th Annual Christmas
Carol Memorial Sing was successful.
Again this year we laid a wreath at the Remembrance Day Service, honouring those who served our
country. Some members helped out with the R.O.C.K Club concert and the Sunday School Santa
visit. We were pleased to be able to cater to the UCW Christmas Dinner and very thankful for their
services at our Christmas Dinner. We held thirteen dinner and regular meetings during the year with
above average attendance. We were very thankful for a new member and resident, Mr. Bob Morgan.
With continued guidance and support from Rev. Wayne & Mrs. Blackwood and general membership
including our President Willis, we had a very rewarding and fulfilling year.

RIVERSIDE SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday School started on Sunday, January 13th, 2013 with 30 children registered. Our order of service
starts with attending church for the beginning of the regular service, where we have a “Children’s
Moment” with Rev. Wayne. We then go to the church hall, give out small Birthday Gifts, and receive our
offering.
The UCW hosted our Valentine’s party on Friday, February 15, 2013, and also donated the proceeds of
their church calendar sales to the Sunday School. In April, the Sunday School had an Easter Egg Hunt
with clues that told the Easter Story.
May 5th , an introduction to our new program, ”Godly Play”, was presented to the congregation, with a
story entitled, “ The Great Family”. On Sunday, May 12th , our annual Mother’s Day program took place
on Christian Family Sunday. We finished Sunday School with a closing party on Friday, May 31st .
August 5th , we had our 6th Vacation Bible School, entitled, “Walking with Jesus”. During our 3 evenings,
we shared stories, with a special visit from Rev. Wayne, sang Video songs and made crafts, such as our
Foot Print Wall Hangings. Once again, some of our UCW members helped out with our lunches. Our
service project was collecting craft supplies for the “Resource Centre”, located in Carbonear.
We resumed Sunday School on September 8th , 2013, where we began “Godly Play”. We received many
monetary and gift items from the congregation, for which we are extremely grateful. Our first story to our
Sunday School, 4 and over, was entitled, “The Ten Best Ways”. Our Tiny Tots, 3 and under, still have
their own class with stories and crafts.
September 22nd , the Sunday School, along with the congregation, enjoyed a “Welcome Back to Church”
Sunday, hosted by the Faith Formation and Christian Education Committee. Everyone enjoyed games
together and the sharing of a B-B-Q Lunch.
On October 20th , the Sunday School hosted “VBS” Sunday, where they shared some of the stories and
songs learned.
November 10th , the Sunday School participated in the Remembrance Day Parade with Madison and
Tiffany Rose laying our wreath.
December 13th , our Sunday School, along with the congregation, attended the Men’s Fellowship
Children’s Christmas party.
December 15th , we had our White Gift Service, with the gifts being donated to O’Shaunessy House. The
service consisted of our play, “ Road to Bethlehem” and a group song, “ Jump with Joy”.
We express our heartfelt thanks to those who supported our Sunday School financially. I would also like
to thank the UCW, the Men’s Fellowship, Mrs. Gladys Case, Rev. Wayne and Hertha, the parents and
the Sunday School leaders for their support over the past year, especially with our new program, Godly
Play

CHURCH PROPERTIES COMMITTEE
2013 was an active year for the Properties Committee of the Board of Management. Inspection of
all properties was carried out with the appropriate upgrades performed:
CHURCH
•
new boards were installed on main entrance deck along with new railings and one
new post. The plywood skirt was replaced and painted. The new treated material
will be painted next summer.
•
Hand rails to basement were upgraded and painted.
•
ceiling in bell tower was replaced after a leak was, hopefully, taken care of.
•
side door repairs were carried out, ie.,door adjusted to weather stripping
•
“Techniseal” was applied to the roof area above the sanctuary, hopefully fixing a
leak until permanent repairs can be done. Shingles were replaced in 1995 and old
chimney was removed afterwards. That area is believed to be the source of the
leak. The Committee will get estimate for a permanent fix.
•
fan control and stairwell light switch replaced.
CEMETERIES
•
registration of land is still in progress and should be finalized soon.
•
shed has been removed and area cleaned up.
•
two tandem loads of shale were applied to upper portion of the road which is still in
rough condition and will have to be raked in the spring. Class “A” will be required to
finish off the job in the spring.
•
Committee surveyed cemetery and agreed that we should fill in empty plots in lower
section before extending further up the hill. This would accommodate some ten or
twelve more interments.
•
fence around the cemetery will have to be reconsidered this year as last year’s
project did not materialize.
•
the summer student was kept busy with grass cutting, etc., within both cemeteries
and church grounds
•
old cemetery was mowed by Randell Slade and was maintained after by student
•
cemetery cleanup was performed by a good group of volunteers.
A special thank-you goes out to Andrew and Harvey for their expert work and advice through the
year. There were three interments in Perry’s Cove in 2013.
