I am very thankful for Bev’s partnership in Ministry! She has been very busy as Administrative Assistant and her work has been invaluable. Eight and a half years ago, Bev concluded twenty-seven years of teaching and school administration in public and Christian schools. During our ministry, Bev has released eight teaching and school administration assignments so we could go where God was sending us – From Maine to Oklahoma. Upon accepting the ministry of District Superintendent, we realized both of us were needed in this assignment, so she started on her new assignment as District Administrative Assistant. Thank you for your ministry to our District. On May 23rd we will celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary. We will be hearing from many of our Maine Team members throughout our Assembly. This year, again, our pastors will report by Mission Areas. Each pastor is asked to keep their report to under a minute. Please include in your report a goal for this year.

District NMI President Nazarene Missions International President’s Report – 2010-2011 Dear friends and family in Christ, members of the District Assembly, NMI, NYI and SDMI conventions: First of all I would like to praise our wonderful Lord for what He continues to do in the hearts and lives of His children. A very special thanks to the NMI council on our Maine District for their patience, support and help this past spring as we re-structured our leadership. Special thanks go to Cheryl Dunning for leaving such a wonderful legacy of missions and for sharing her passion and heart on the Maine District. Your love for others through missions will always be a part of the “Maine story”. This has been a year of challenge and change, those two “c” words that most Mainers hate! Yet it is through those things that God molds us into HIS image. It is taking that step of faith onto the staircase, even when you cannot see where that step may lead. Some of our greatest challenges this year have been the World Evangelism Fund and the new way we are “Funding the Mission” and let’s not forget the new “Living Missions” education material! But there is no challenge too great for our Lord. As stated in a popular video, “That’s My Jesus”! Thank you to all the churches that chose to rise above their circumstances to meet this challenge and persevered “to give generously out of their poverty”. Without your faith and commitment, more of our missionaries would have been decommissioned and brought back from the mission fields. You are the hands and feet of Jesus to a lost and dying world. THANK YOU! Among this year’s highlights were the Work and Witness Trip to Haiti in September and the Children’s Jamboree in March with our special guests, Stephen and Irene Rieder. The Rieders really showed just how creative one can be in sharing the gospel in areas where it is not easy to do so. With the tragedies in Haiti last January to the earthquake this year in Japan, it is easy to see the signs of the times and how vital it is to pray for and reach out to our world like never before. But out of 62 tragedy there is light and through Crisis Care Kits many were helped with the very basics of life and the hope of Christ. In June at Family Camp, D. Michael Henderson will be our guest speaker. He works in Africa training disciples. What a chance to learn more about becoming a disciple of Jesus and how to reach out to others “One Conversation at a Time”. This summer Rev. Dave Giles (former pastor of our Fairfield Church) and his wife Mary Beth will be available for services on our District in order to raise funds for their return to the mission field in the country of Georgia. Then in October, missionaries will be here from Ecuador. You can be a part of this exciting work across the globe. Don’t miss your opportunity!!! You too can have a missionary at your church. This next year is exciting indeed and I can hardly wait to see just what the Lord has in store for missions and for you. I know that His love is truly the “tie that binds” us all together. Missions is His MISSION. Is was and is at the very heart of Christ and His church. Missions is both here AND there. We cannot forget our neighbors next door nor our brothers and sisters across the world. How will we meet the challenge in our churches, neighborhoods and our world? Please join together in prayer, discipleship, education and giving to reach a hurting world with the hope that can only be found in Christ. Share His love through your story. In the Love of Christ and for His mission, Hazel L. Seavey Isaiah 49:6b-“… I will also make You a light of the nations, so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth." NASB 3. District NYI President Hello to all those who are reading this. I want to tell you how God has changed and blessed the Maine District NYI and also let you know that we are looking forward to an exciting year. This past year has been full of blessing after blessing. In the midst of change, we continue that work to which God has called us here in the NYI and that is ministering to your that we meet. Our camps were filled with fun, from the surprise all-you-can-eat Chinese food stop of summer camp to the sledding at snow camp. All 63 throughout those times we have seen God work in the lives of our teens and adults and have had the chance to share the grace and love othat God has offered to us. I wish we had more time in the year so we could spend it worshiping the Lord together through all the activities that we have here on our District. We have had the support of Eastern Nazarene College and our new enrollment counselor, Christa Carter. She is here somewhere at Convention, so stop and say “Hi!” This year will be an exciting one for us: we will have two teen camps, NYC, Fall Retreat, FOL, snow camps, Tube-a-palozza and many more events that I have not listed. Do not worry though; in all these events, God seems to be just blessing us more and more each time. I thank all of you who have supported us over the years and hope to see you around at some of these opportunities to be involved.

District SDMI Annual Report 2010-2011 Maine District SDMI Chairperson’s Report May 13, 2011 To the Saints of the Maine District Church of the Nazarene; Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! This past year I was appointed by our District Superintendent, Rev. Cecil Jones, to complete the term of Rev. Dick Devendorf as SDMI Chairperson. I have been fortunate to serve with such a dedicated and passionate council. I would like to thank them for their hard work this past year. I would also like to express my appreciation to Amy Lane who has been our Treasurer this past year. Amy has been a great help during a year of transition. Amy finished her term and felt it was time for someone else to take on that responsibility, and so we say “Thank You.” We have recently had some new additions to our SDMI council. Todd McKay has been appointed as our new Treasurer and Andrew Ferreira has been appointed as the new Adult Ministries Director. 64 I would like to thank Faith McLeish for her work in gathering our statistics. I would also like to thank our churches for cooperating with her. Those numbers you call in every month represent people who are being discipled; and that is what Jesus has asked us to do. It was Jesus himself who called us to go and make disciples. Making disciples is the never ending mission of every one of our churches. I believe we are all called to teach and model the Gospel to men, women and children until they find salvation in Jesus Christ. I believe we are also called to teach and model the Gospel until men, women, and children are sanctified wholly in Jesus Christ. I believe we are yet still called to teach and model the Gospel until men, women, and children are glorified (gone to heaven) in Jesus Christ. Discipleship is a lifelong process of helping each other be fully formed into the image of Jesus. The role of the Maine District SDMI is to help and equip you to grow in your ability to do just that. The 3 main things we are working on are: 1. To better equip the local churches to make disciples through training. 2. To host inspiring opportunities for discipleship. 3. To build supportive relationships between our churches. Iron sharpens Iron. It is my desire to see our Maine District SDMI council be your partner in reaching your neighbors with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Your SDMI council is here to serve you. If you see a need for something on our district that falls within our realm of ministry, please bring it to my attention. Respectfully Submitted, Rev. David Suitter SMDI Chairperson B.

Respectfully submitted, CECIL A JONES, Chairman 6. Christian Action Committee We, your Committee on Christian Action, deplore the continual degeneration of the moral values of our society. It is our conviction that the only truly effective solution to the moral issues of our day is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We especially recognize the necessity of experiencing entire sanctification for the Christian to be able to live the holy life in any society. We urge our people to be active in taking a stand for God’s ideal of human life and to confront the social evils of our day. We, therefore submit the following recommendations: 1. That we follow the biblical principals of holy living, no longer conformed to the pattern of this world, but having our lives transformed to reflect the image of Christ. Romans 12:1-2 2. That we rededicate ourselves to the avoidance of evil and the positive practice of our Christian witness as outlined in the Covenant of Christian Character and the Covenant of Christian Conduct in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. 3. That we endorse the Christian Civic League of Maine, Focus on the Family, American Family Association, the Right to Life Movement, Family Research Council, Jeremiah Project, Alliance Defense Fund, Concerned Women of Americaand other groups which endeavor to guide Maine and America to paths of scriptural morality and righteousness. 75 4. That we as individuals express appreciation to elected officials, media organizations, and anyone else who upholds Judeo/Christian ethics. In those cases where we find ourselves in direct opposition to a stance taken by one of the above, we recommend that we lovingly and politely express our strong disapproval of their stance. In these cases, we should make the issue known to the congregation and then supply names, addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of those officials. 5. That our churches develop an educational program to alert our children and youth to the subtle, sensual, satanic forces that are seeking to enslave them in a multimillion dollar empire of illicit sex, drugs, and merchandising. 6. That we encourage our people to become involved in the local educational systems in order to bring a Christian influence to bear on decisions which impact our children’s understanding of right and wrong. 7. That we, as a people, actively oppose all forms of abortion (whether it is early, middle, late, or partial-birth). That we further encourage those who have an unwanted pregnancy to come under the umbrella of our ministry, and that they avail themselves of the many opportunities of adoption through Christian agencies. 8. That we, as a people, actively oppose all forms of euthanasia. We affirm that lives that are seen as imperfecdt, immature or inconvenient in any stage still mirror the image of God. 9. That we view marriage as between one man and one woman. Further that we oppose all attempts to normalize homosexuality. We are to hate the sin, but we are to love the individual, and lead them to Jesus by any means possible. We encourage the people in our churches to vote with this in mind. 10. That we view marriage as permanent; that we, as a people, encourage our people to seek counseling from clergy or professional Christian counselors to reestablish marital harmony. We encourage Marriage Enrichment and Family Life Seminars. 11. That we encourage all of our parents to take an active role in the training of their children in sex education. This would include teaching on the dangers of premarital and extramarital sex and emphasize abstinence before marriage and affirming abstinence until marriage. 12. That we oppose all forms of pornography. With the explosion of pornography on the Internet, we encourage all parents to put parental blocks in place and monitor all activities of the children and youth under our care. 76 13. That we urge our people to refrain from the purchase or rental of Hollywood-type movies, cable channels, and entertainments of a sensual, suggestive or violent nature. 14. That we urge our people to strongly oppose all forms of gambling, including state lotteries, through voting against such measures and by contacting their state legislators. 14. That we speak strongly for abstinence in the area of premarital or extramarital sex, drugs, alcohol, and other abuses of chemicals and medications. It is our responsibility as Christians in the Wesleyan tradition to make a positive difference on our culture. Jesus said in Matthew 25:40-43, we have a responsibility for those who are hungry, thirsty, homeless, sick, and in prison. We suggest that churches make these things a part of our regular ministry. We recommend this entire report, along with Manual paragraphs 34.1 to 34.6 and 37 be distributed and/or read publicly in each of our churches. Respectfully submitted, CECIL JONES, Chairman 7. District Chaplaincy Coordinator Maine District Assembly 2011 South Portland Church of the Nazarene District Chaplaincy Coordinator’s Report The chaplains serving on behalf of the Maine District Church of the Nazarene are grateful for the continued blessing of being involved in a great District. Maine Nazarenes continue to prayerfully, administratively, and affirmingly support 7 Chaplains who are called to ministry outside of the church walls. Let me introduce you to those 7 chaplains: 1. Rev. Barry Dutton our pastor at the Bath Church of the Nazarene and as the Wing Chaplain with the Civil Air Patrol Augusta based Wing of CAP (as Wing Chaplain he oversees the spiritual care of 12 squadrons); 2. Rev. John Mark Evans our pastor in Strong and works with the Strong Fire Department as Chaplain; 77 3. Rev. Eric Larsen who is now our pastor in Fairfield had been serving in Auburn. In Auburn he also provided chaplaincy ministry to the Central Maine Medical Center, providing on-call coverage for their Spiritual Care Department. 4. Rev. Wallace Staples our pastor in the Wiscasset Church and as the full time chaplain at the Two Bridges Regional Jail serving Lincoln and Sagadahoc Counties; 5. Rev. Jonathon Twitchell our pastor in Cape Elizabeth and serves as a regular minister for Hobbs Funeral Home in South Portland and Scarborough. He provides memorial and funeral services for families who are without their own pastor. 6. Rev. Kenneth Wish, serving currently as Interim Pastor at Saco Church and is the Protestant Chaplain at Mercy Hospital in Portland; 7. Rev. James Cobb who is in Bethel Church and is providing chaplaincy services to the Veteran’s Home there; 8. Rev. Ray Desrosiers who has been leading the restart work at the Lewiston Church and continues to provide chaplaincy coverage for nursing homes. Of these we have 3 chaplains who have been officially endorsed by the General Church of the Nazarene and one who is a Board Certified Chaplain through the Association of Professional Chaplains. In addition to these who are already serving we also have 2-3 others who are exploring their own call and determining whether or not a chaplaincy ministry is what God has in mind for them. Chaplain Dwight Jennings, our denominational Chaplaincy Consultant has written a handbook for Chaplaincy in the Church of the Nazarene. I would like to share with you a couple of excerpts from his writing: Nazarene Chaplains are making an impact on societies throughout the entire world. They can be found in the areas of the military, business, corrections, hospitals, hospice, law enforcement, fire departments, Civil Air Patrol, and college campuses, just to name a few. Just as the Apostle Paul, they go out into society to hurting and needy people who search for meaning and purpose in life. The world is truly the chaplain’s parish. Virtually every sector of society is served by the presence of a chaplain. As agents of God’s grace, chaplains make contact with people in need. They are missionaries who go where others can seldom go. 78 Church of the Nazarene chaplains work in a multi-cultural/pluralistic environment. As such, they provide and perform ministry to persons representing a variety of faith traditions. Chaplains bring salt and light to a bland and dark world. They seize opportunities to listen to hurting people, turning moments of desperation into times of hope and light. They are there when people need them. Often at great hardship and risk, they point people in crisis to Christ. They demonstrate God’s love in action. They are spiritual leaders, counselors, and friends to those they serve. The Nazarene Church Manual clearly identifies the character, conduct, roles, and responsibilities of its ministers. Nazarene chaplains perform ministry in accordance with the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene. To share with you how effective your chaplains in Maine are you are invited to hear the collective numbers that are reported to the Clergy Development at the Global Ministry Center in Lenexa, KS Pastoral Contacts – More than 9,800 people have had contact with a Nazarene chaplain who works in Jesus’ Name (This number is a little more than the population of the Town of Wells according to data from the 2010 Census). Professions of Faith – 496 (this is more than the population of the home town of our District Superintendent – Weld also 2010 Census data); Number of people receiving communion – approx. 10 Number of people Baptized – 2 Pastoral Counseling Hours – Approximately 2500 (more hours than one person working full time for a year) The effect that your chaplains are having is significant. Pastor Ed in our Wells church would absolutely love to say that every single individual in the Town of Wells had had some personal contact with the Church of the Nazarene; your chaplains have in fact contacted that many people. Chaplain Staples at Two Bridges Regional Jail though having a captive audience is thrilled to report that they have had to increase the number of Sunday services this year. They are currently conducting 3 services on a given Sunday at the jail. This indicates a desire on the part of the inmates to worship and learn about the Christian faith. At the jail there were about 490 people who accepted the Lord this year. The number of Pastoral Counseling hours also has considerable effect for the 79 Kingdom. The work done in a counseling session opens up the ability of the Holy Spirit to provide healing and grace to a broken soul. As Chaplain Jennings pointed out your chaplains bring the salt and the light of the Gospel to a world that is in need of the seasoning of the Holy Spirit and the Light that reveals truth and God’s love for the thousands of broken persons amongst whom we each live. I am told by friends of mine that I continue to be prayed for on a daily basis. This has been very encouraging for me, particularly as I go into a patient’s room who has just received news that they have just a few weeks to live because of a cancer that they just discovered. It is helpful to know that I have the prayer support of others as I talk with a drug addict who is struggling to get clean or a person who has been trying to cope with chronic pain for years and feels that God has totally forgotten about them. These prayers of fellow Christians are my life line in the chaplaincy ministry. I know that my chaplain colleagues feel very much the same way. So we continue to ask that as we go beyond the walls of the church and into the darker areas of the world that our Nazarene family continues to keep us firmly in your prayers. In this way we will know that we are not going into the crucible of ministry alone and that you are right beside us in your prayers and other signs of support. Remember that almost 10,000 souls have been touched with God’s grace in some small way this past year as a result of the support that you give your Maine District Chaplains. For this we offer our heartfelt gratitude. We truly appreciate the ability that you extend to us to work as the Lord leads. Faithful in service to our Lord, Rev. Kenneth B. Wish, Maine District Chaplaincy Coordinator C. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES 1. NOMINATING COMMITTEE 1. Partial report #1: We the Nominating Committee recommend the following District Assembly Committees: 1.

Club – (Make checks payable to Maine District Church) - Trish Cook, 1100 River Road Avon, ME 04966 2011 District Finance Committee -- Partial Report No. 2 -- Ministerial Support 85 We recommend that: 1. The Church Board review the Pastor’s salary and housing annually, either in September or March, giving consideration to the rising cost-of-living index. This review is a requirement of the 2009-2013 Church of the Nazarene Manual, ¶129.8 2. Each Pastor be paid a salary that will permit him or her to devote full time to the work of the Ministry. Those who are receiving adequate salary should devote full time to the work of the Ministry. 3. Each Church provide a housing allowance for the Pastor; or, alternatively, each church provide a parsonage for the Pastor and pay for its upkeep, including heat, utilities, and replacement of worn appliances, for which the parsonage family will be responsible to keep neat and clean. 4. Each Pastor be directly reimbursed for auto expenses, travel, and related business expenses upon a detailed monthly accounting of expenses incurred. In the event it is not possible for a Church to provide a direct reimbursement, it is recommended that a portion of the Pastor’s salary be designated for that purpose according to IRS guidelines. 5. Each church consider the following minimum salary and benefits package for their pastor if he/she is to be considered a full time pastor: a. A weekly cash salary of $400 (This amount may be allocated as salary, personal housing allowance or Tax Sheltered Annuity). b. Provide a parsonage or housing allowance, utilities, medical insurance, and full SelfEmployment tax reimbursement. c. A reimbursable church expense plan that meets IRS regulations. When a church cannot meet the minimum salary and benefits package requirements, they allow their pastor to be bi-vocational with their permission and blessing, to work enough hours outside 86 the church to meet his/her financial needs. Pastors should not consider working more hours than necessary to meet his/her financial needs. In determining whether the pastor should be considered a full-time pastor, churches should not take into consideration the fact that a spouse works outside the home. 6. An education and training seminar for tax accountability and information be available through the District Office. 7. Each Church assume cost of travel, meals, child care and fees to District Assembly, Ministers/Mates Conference and other District activities for the Pastor and Spouse, and that a minimum of $10.00 per week fund be established to provide funds for the Pastor’s attendance at General Assembly, and that the Pastor’s participation in local, district, and general church activities not be considered vacation time. 8. Each Church allow its Pastor to participate in continuing education as required by the 2009 – 2013 Church of the Nazarene Manual, ¶424.6, at appropriate times, which shall be separate from vacation time, with financial consideration given to underwrite the cost. 9. Each Pastor be given a vacation with full salary, with the Church paying for the supply of the Pulpit. The minimum vacation program for Pastors who have served the Church of the Nazarene be set as follows: - 1 to 4 years of service - 14 days including 2 Sundays - 5 to 10 years of service - 21 days including 3 Sundays - 11 to 15 years of service - 28 days including 4 Sundays -16 and more years of service - 35 days including 5 Sundays. Vacation time is to be based on the Calendar year, and not to be accumulated. Vacation time should be taken at a time of the Pastor’s own choosing and is in addition to national holidays. Pastors moving from one Church to another during the calendar year should prorate their vacation time. 87 10. Each Pastor be allowed and encouraged to take one day per week for personal use at his or her discretion. Personal time should be taken at a time of the Pastor’s own choosing and is in addition to national holidays. 11. Additional time may be allocated yearly by the local Church Board for the Pastor to hold evangelistic services at another Church. 12. Churches give support to full payment of the Pensions/Benefits Fund, which benefits the Pastor toward his/her 403(b) contribution and life insurance for pastor and spouse. 13. Churches provide medical insurance for the Pastor and family and, as required by Maine law, Workers’ Compensation insurance. 14. Churches give special consideration to their Pastor and Parsonage family at Christmas (a minimum of one week’s salary). 15. Churches be encouraged to contribute to the pastor’s TSA as a reduction or addition to salary. 16. Churches provide for food and lodging of evangelists and other special workers. 17. Local churches provide a minimum honorarium for supply preachers of $75.00 for one service and $100.00 for two services on Sunday, plus mileage of 30 cents per mile. 18. Church Members be made aware of the financial position of the local Church on a monthly basis, and that the Church Boards receive a written treasurer’s report each month. 19. Definition and recommendation regarding clergy serving as associate pastor or assistant pastor in the local church: a. An associate pastor is defined as a “partner in ministry”, on staff, receiving compensation. An assistant pastor is defined as a “partner in ministry”, on staff, who does not receive compensation. A member of the clergy serving on staff of the local church cannot be assigned “PSV” unless he/she serves a minimum of 30 hours per week in ministry. b. All paid ministerial staff should be covered by the previous recommendations for the senior pastor 88 when appropriate and negotiated with, and by, the approval of the church board. 20. Copies of this portion of the District Finance Committee report and tax information worksheet for each local Church be sent by the District Superintendent to each Church Secretary to be read to the Church Board no later than the September Church Board meeting. 21. That each church considers a sabbatical for their Pastor. For consideration, one month during the 5th year of ministry or 2 months during the 6th year of ministry or 3 months during the 7th year of ministry, taking into account service in previous churches and sabbaticals. Sabbatical time should be in addition to regular vacation time. Respectfully submitted, Richard Waller, Chairman, Patricia Cook, Secretary 89 VII. Financial and Statistical A.
