ear Friends,
This Annual Report is full of updates,
news and pictures about what a great year 2015
was, so I won’t duplicate any of that information
and just encourage you to READ ON!
I’ll simply say that being your Pastor this
past year has truly been a highlight of my 23-year
career in ordained ministry. I mean, what a great
deal I have!! I get to be a part of a church which
is truly All-In, faithful, servant-hearted, generous
and compassionate. You celebrate the past, take
advantage of the present, and embrace the future
with a missionary’s zeal. And you go out of your
way to bless me and my family. Wow!
Church is about people: serving, worshiping
.”
and growing in the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power
of His Spirit. Every day, I get to minister with
amazing, gifted people: our dedicated and talented
staff, our steadfast volunteers and lay leaders, our
growing church family who give the blessing of
their commitment to Christ, their support and
their presence.
I also have been very fortunate to have open
doors to be a Pastor in the broader community, and
in the past year have been invited to participate in
the Chamber of Commerce, the CDA Leadership
program, the Downtown Business Association and
United Way of Kootenai County. This has allowed
me to extend my ministry beyond the four walls
into the lives of our neighbors, and break trails for
our church to reach out to more people.
I think the thing that energizes me the most
as your Pastor right now is our shared LOVE1st
mission and strategic ‘5 Big Moves’ vision. As
we begin this five-year journey, breaking new
ground, I find myself filled with hope and excitement for 1stPres Church. I believe this journey
will bring life and blessing to all people in the
church – veterans and newcomers, young and old.
I believe it will energize current and long-standing
ministries as it creates new ones. I believe we will
all feel the joy of knowing we are being used by
God to accomplish a mission with both visceral
and eternal impact.
Thank you so much for how you make
being your Pastor so joyful and fulfilling!
In Christ’s Service and Yours,
Rev. Craig M. Sumey

2015 SESSION
Class of 2015
From Your
Clerk of Session
S
erving as Clerk of Session has been a new and exciting experience for me. What wonderful Session
members guide our church family!
Your Session continues to meet on the fourth
Tuesday of each month with several special meetings
called this past year. It should be noted that for all meetings, proper notices were given and there was a quorum
present at all business meetings.
Sadly, we say good-bye to 2015 class members
Linda Jones, Jackie Velez and Yvette Wyatt. Three
members of that class: Warren Bakes, Kendra Johnson
and Steve Peterson have agreed to serve another term
and we happily add Karen Huber, Ann Johnson and
Deirdre Lawrence to the class of 2018.
Pastor Craig Sumey served as moderator for the
Session. His strong leadership has shown a noticeable
growth as well as developing with the Dream Team
Kendra Johnson
an exciting Big Move program for the future of First
Presbyterian Church.
Your Session often faces difficult issues; however,
with careful and prayerful discussion, decisions are
made in unity.
It has been my pleasure to serve as clerk and to
work with such caring and thoughtful church Elders.
We, as your Session, look forward to the year 2016 and
working with such an outstanding staff and for you.
Please feel free to contact our Session members
with your questions, concerns and ideas at any time.
Your input is always valued.
We ask you to pray for our work and for the
congregation.
In Christ,

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
“
Let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good
works and give glory to your
Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
From Your Director of
W
ow! What a great year it has been! So much
positive has gone on in the life of the church it’s really quite amazing. I certainly hope you
all feel that way too, and that you have been able to be
a part of one of the teams or events that really marked
the year as special - with the doing of good things. But
don’t worry if you haven’t, because it’s looking like 2016
is going to be spectacular, with lots of new opportunities
to jump in and get involved.
First of all I have to recognize the outstanding
work done by the Community Outreach Team this year.
So many cool community events, like the Paloozas and
Trunk-or-Treat; but then there were some great new
ones. There was Share the Joy Sunday, Kid’s Day in the
Park, Hoopla in the Park, and my favorite, the Christmas
Neigh-tivity, which brought together 1stPres, Trinity
Lutheran, and the Downtown Association to pull off
the first of what are hopefully many joint ventures to
serve the downtown community.
Then there was all the stellar work done by the
Welcome and Membership Teams to make visitors feel
welcome and find ways
to get them connected in
the church. From giving
them their first, “Welcome
to 1stPres Downtown!” to
hosting receptions and
classes, these teams work
hard to share the love and
Steve sharing a selfie

Whitworth Fellows.

warmth that is the heart of our church.
It was a real pleasure to work this summer with
our Whitworth Fellows, and in particular Hannah, who
I supervised directly on her amazing history project. (If
you haven’t gotten to see the video yet, let me know!)
In a significant change to my position, this year I
went from 30 hours a week to full time. This allowed me
to take on some of the responsibilities that Becky Clegg
had been filling – like producing the bulletin and eNews
– to free her up to move into her new role as Church
Administrator. I certainly owe her a debt of thanks for
being so patient and helpful through the long transition
process. And more thanks are owed to Laura and Emily
who stepped in as receptionists and have both been
great about helping out in whatever way they can. And
of course, thanks too goes to Pastor Craig for his strong,
Godly leadership throughout the year. I often look at
him, and his enormous work load, and I wonder, “How
does he get all that stuff done and never seem stressed
out or worried about it?”
Of course, life brings sad things too, and 2016
certainly had its share of
unwelcome good-byes. Many
we lost went on to a better
place, but some went on to
Bovill. Erica Waterman you will be missed!
With Much Love,

Our Purpose
In everything we do we will love first;
God, each other, and our neighbors.
From Your
Dream Team
2
015 was a big year for dreaming…and planning…
for the future at 1stPres.
Twelve people spent 10 months reading,
praying, discussing, hosting forums, conducting surveys
and harvesting ideas from both the congregation and the
community, asking the question: what mission is God
calling us to fulfill in the next five years?
The answer? LOVE1st – a mission statement
based on 1 John 4:19. “We love because God first loved
us.” The new mission statement also comes with a new set
of core values, based on the word LOVE and emphasizing concepts the Dream Team heard repeatedly through
the discernment process.
But that’s not all: a strategic plan with 5 ‘Big
Moves’ to accomplish in 5 years so 1stPres will see the
LOVE1st mission become more of a reality; along with
an implementation strategy of parallel work, which
allows for new approaches to be added while existing
ministries and program still flourish.
Now, the process transitions to the Session’s
ongoing leadership and Big Move Teams which will
begin fleshing out concrete plans in the coming year.
Special thanks to YOU, the congregation, for your
helpful insights, brainstorms and positive reception to the
new mission. Also thanks to the Dream Team members
for their hard work and leadership: Sarah Holcomb, Rob
Buckham, Betty Cheeley, Becky Clegg, Dustin Cook,
Ginny DeLong, Nate Jolley, Deirdre Lawrence, Charlie
Nipp, Nichole Piekarski, George Sayler, and Bill Welsh.

Our 5 –Year Strategic Vision
Five ‘Big Moves’ To Better Fulfill Our Purpose

We will focus our love toward the needs of
low-income, at-risk people who work in the
Downtown mission-field restaurants, taverns,
coffee places, shops, offices and hotels.
We will provide leadership toward a network
of people of faith strategically addressing the
needs of the poor, at-risk and marginalized in
our community
We will launch a Next Generation Community
on the cutting edge of Christian worship,
ministry and mission.
We will invest in developing vibrant, relevant
ministries to serve Middle School, High
School, and Young Adult people, loving and
growing them into strong disciples and servants.
We will make our building more welcoming,
accessible and mission-oriented with an
expanded lobby/ramp, outdoor courtyard,
handicap accessibility and parking, and a
new ‘transformation space’ in the sanctuary
basement.

From Your
Church Administrator
T
ime flies when you’re
having fun or at
the very least, are
incredibly busy. This past
year has been no exception to another busy
time with the change in
seasons and all the activities at our church. What a
blessing it is to have such a
growing and inspirational church
body. Your office team is always amazed at the dedication, warmth, and energy of the congregation we serve.
Gene Adkison continues to work hard serving
our church members and regular attenders. He keeps
the gathering areas clean and is always available to assist
with a variety of events both during the day and in the
evening. He enjoys working with the volunteers from
Building & Grounds who have worked tirelessly this year
to clear storage areas, fix ceiling tiles, plant in the spring,
paint bathrooms, and maintain building repairs. Gene

purchased his first home this year and looks forward to
staying on staff as he enjoys the stability of his own home.
We were fortunate in April to hire co-receptionists
to fill a 20 hour per week position supported and approved
by Personnel and Session. I am ever grateful for the additions of Laura Koepke and Emily Rogers. Thank you to
the congregation for your gracious support and constant
smiles as you stop by the office and work with Laura or
Emily depending on their
designated work day.
Personally, I have
enjoyed working with
the Vision Team (Dream
Team) this past year. What
an amazing group of dedicated leaders in our church.
I’m grateful for the leadership of Pastor Craig and
have been able to work on several key projects with
him throughout the year and I’m looking forward to
the Big Moves in the years to come. I am thankful to
work with the Clerk of the Session, Ruling Elders and
Deacons as our church seeks to strengthen our mission
to downtown. I also appreciate the volunteers who help
with folding bulletins (Doris Clemans & Evie Oakland),
the security team of Eric Fehr and Allen Miller, and the
donut team of Doris Clemans and Buzz & Judy Hays.
Thank you to Charlie Branch for his volunteer spirit
to run the balcony computer for a variety of events
including both Sunday services and also fill-in as a
custodial backup.
Working with a top notch staff helps inspire
me to give my best each day. Thank you all for your
encouragement, kind words, and many motivational
moments such as Deacons’ “staff uplift.” The calendar
is already filling up for the coming year so I imagine
we will have another productive year of reaching out
to our congregation as well as our community. You all
make it happen every day!
God bless you all,
Becky Clegg

Co-Receptionists
Laura Koepke (pictured on the left) moved to
Coeur d’Alene from Western Washington in 2012 so
she could be closer to her two daughters, grandson
and niece. Moving is not new to Laura; her father was
in the Air Force, and she moved every three years
until marrying her late husband, Mike, in 1975. Before
taking an early retirement in 2012, Laura worked at
Central Kitsap School District as a Software Support
Specialist/Web Developer/Designer. She recently
moved to a new house in downtown CDA and enjoys
being able to walk to church and other events. She
also enjoys crossword puzzles, knitting, traveling,
and spending time with her grandson, Gavin.
Emily Rogers (pictured on the right) and her
husband Tom moved to Idaho two years ago from
Alaska, where she had lived for 41 years. After Emily
retired from teaching elementary children in Sitka
and Tom retired from banking, they moved to Tom’s
hometown of Coeur d’Alene. In November, they relocated to Rathdrum. She enjoys quilting and reading, as well as swimming
in the Golden Spike pool in her spare
time. Emily LOVES getting to know and
serving her church family!

the adult choir
with orchestra presented the
Cantata “Sing With
The Angels“ by Joel
Raney. We presented
it at three different
services 9am, 11am, and
4pm. All services were well
attended. The 4pm service allowed
many of our orchestra member’s families to attend. The
cantata was not as challenging as some of our others but
we found it to be upbeat and great fun.
The Injoy Ringers Christmas program included
drama with the bells ringing between each character. Our
drama group consisted of Zechariah (Marlan Johnson),
Mary (Carolyn Keefer), Shepherd (Derek Sumey), and
the Wise Man (Dan Brown). They all did an excellent
job of telling the Christmas story. We had many people
say it was one of our best programs. If any of you have
experience in handbell ringing please contact me. We
currently have two open positions and are in need of
your help. My phone number is 208-660-1639.
2016 is upon us and I am already beginning to
plan for the Easter Season. I am combining two Tenebrae
compositions by Joseph Martin which we will present on
Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
We are in need of singers for all four
parts and would encourage you to
participate in this upcoming event.
We begin practicing mid-January.
You can contact the church office at
208-667-8446 or Judy Flieger at 208-660-1639. I want to
thank the choir and the handbell choir for their dedication this last year. It is truly a joy and a privilege to work
with each group.
In His service,
Judy Flieger
Choir and Bell Director
From Your
I
Worship Music Specialist
t has been my joy to participate in worship with
you this year by accompanying, playing piano and
organ, and by leading our praise team ministry.
Since my first Sunday morning at First Presbyterian in
March, Arlene and I have been welcomed warmly by the
wonderful people in this body of believers.
I’ve enjoyed attending weekly sessions with the
church staff and Sunday worship planning with Pastor
Craig and Judy, and to also become part of the worship
design team.
My responsibilities include accompanying the choir
at rehearsals and on Sundays, as well as accompanying
other groups, individuals, and the hand bell choir when
needed. As director of our praise teams, I am responsible for planning, scheduling, and for weekly rehearsals.
We have been blessed with some new members on our
team this year, both vocally and instrumentally. I look
forward to additional growth on our team this coming
year, both musical and numerical.
I enjoy preparing music for gathering and benediction times on Sunday mornings, as well as music during
offering, communion, and for special services. The people
of 1stPres have been very gracious learning my musical
tastes and flavors by hearing from a new musician, and
accepting varieties of gifts of music on piano and organ.
All of us have our favorite genres and collections, and it
is my desire to bring a variety of hymns, worship songs,
tasteful varieties of styles, with appreciation for new and
old to our worship on Sundays and other gathering occasions. Music touches the heart of God and His people;
allowing our faith to build as we sing together, pulling
at our souls to listen to God, respond to His Spirit, and
to feel God’s nearness.
Thanks to Pastor Craig and Judy Flieger, our
church staff, choir, praise team, musicians, and sound
and projection team. You have all created a wonderful
environment to serve and to grow in faith. I look forward
to serving and worshiping with you in 2016.

From Your Director of
Children & Family Ministries
2
015 was a year of growth for the Children
and Family Ministries of 1stPres. with
many new programs, new children and
new families!
Sunday School ARKade was launched
in January with three age/grade classes: The
Preschool Pond; 1st & 2nd grade First Five; and
3rd – 5th grade Bible Learning Ports. Throughout
the winter and spring, the number of children
and families attending church and participating
in the S.S. ARKade increased steadily, averaging
28 children on Sundays. During the summer,
the number dropped only slightly, averaging 26
children. In the fall the number increased further,
averaging 30 children.
Downtown Palm Sunday Parade, and on Easter
Sunday children and families enjoyed creating
Easter Story Baskets with items representing the
stories of Holy Week.
In July, 36 incoming 1st – 6th graders
attended Downtown Church Day Camp. This
was an awesome week of Fun in the Son jampacked with Bible lessons, songs, crafts, snacks,
games, activities, lunch and afternoon adventures
at different downtown locations. Additionally,
four 1stPres 5th & 6th graders attended Juniors
Camp at Camp Spalding. These children had an
amazing week making friends, swimming in the
lake, horseback riding, singing, boating, rock
climbing, learning about Jesus, making crafts,
There were many other events and activities for children and families. In January, there
was Pirate Sunday with pirate games and movie
for children during the Annual Congregational
Meeting. In February, children participated in the
Bolivia Mission Trip Auction, making and serving
Bolivian desserts. In March, the children led a

playing games, shooting archery, worshiping God,
and growing in their relationship with Jesus! It
was a blessing to have Josh Wagner and Kierstie
Shellman, serve as Whitworth Summer Fellows
working with the children and youth of 1stPres.
In September, Back-to-School Sunday
included Teacher and Backpack Blessings in
worship, followed by a Parking lot BASH with
bounce house, face painting, and BBQ. In October,
Bibles were given to nine children; and 1stPres
and community children and families participated
in the 2nd annual Trunk or Treat at the corner
of 6th and Sherman. In November, Children and
Family Ministries challenged 1stPres to pack
Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. A total
of 171 shoeboxes were packed, surpassing the
149 boxes in 2014!
In December, Children and Family Ministries
hosted a Christmas Cookie Exchange. The children packed over 80 to-go boxes of cookies with
invitations to the 1stPres Christmas Eve services.
The boxes were given to the congregation to take
home or give away. The Children’s Un-Pageant
was held as part of the Family Christmas Eve
Service, and every family was given a Christmas
ornament handmade by the children. Children
and families from 1stPres and the community
were baa-lessed greatly through the Downtown
Neigh-tivity.
Throughout 2015, the Children & Families
Ministry Team facilitated quarterly Noisy Offerings

coordinated by Jane Penney with the assistance
of many volunteers.
In addition to working with the Children
and Families Team and Volunteers, I served with
the Worship Design Team, Community Outreach
Team and as a resource to the Youth Team. I also
led weekly chapel for Glory Be and facilitated
children ringing the church bell on Sundays. I also
was honored to be asked by author and church
member, Susan Nipp, to be the handler for Mudgy
the Moose, assisting with public appearances. This
is one more wonderful way that I am able to serve
the children and families of CDA.
It continues to be my honor and privilege
to serve the children and families of 1stPres and
community as together we grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

From Your
Youth Leader
W
hat a year
2015 was
for the
1st Pres Downtown
Youth Group 2.0! Our
youth have grown and
matured in their faith,
and it’s inspiring for me
to watch them walk with
purpose, with Jesus in their
hearts. It’s been a year growing in God and numbers,
and I reflect with a smile at all of the special moments
of this past year!
We dove into deeper discussion about living as
servants of Christ in a seemingly self-serving world.
Last spring, a small group of us
traveled over to the Spokane Arena
for the Rock and Worship Road
Show, getting to hear many great
Christian artists. Over the summer,
DYG 2.0 was blessed by the addition of Whitworth Fellows, which
allowed us to offer more fellowship
opportunities and small groups. Our
scavenger hunt kick-off event was a lot of fun; we sent the
youth all up and down Sherman Ave where they had to
solve riddles to find out where they were heading next.
At each stop, they had to pose for a group picture, and
we concluded as a large group, devouring 18 LARGE
scoops of ice cream which became a summer favorite! We
enjoyed roaming the Farmer’s Market with the middle
school youth on Wednesday evenings, as well as a good
cup of coffee at Bakery by the Lake Thursday mornings
with our high schoolers, as we worked our way through
The Book of James. In June, two of our 2015 graduates
traveled down to Cochabamba, Bolivia with the 1st Pres
mission team, and it was awesome to watch them grow,
be challenged, and blossom while loving those kiddos
at Niños Con Valor. We took a mid-summer trip up to
Silverwood, where we spent the full day having fun in the
sun! The youth wrapped up the summer with a lock-in
at the church, followed the next morning by blessing
the congregation with an amazing Youth Sunday! We
concluded the summer season celebrating with our
youth and families at our 2nd Annual Lake Day BBQ on
beautiful Hayden Lake. This past fall has been filled with
laughter and good times. The youth got to get competitive in a DYG 2.0 Game Night, where
they competed for gift cards. DYG
2.0 capped off a wonderful year with
an Ugly Sweater Progressive Dinner;
this was a great night full of food,
fun, and fellowship.
Again, what a year! I want
to thank all of the volunteers who’ve
graciously served the youth and made
all of these events possible. I can’t echo enough how
thankful I am to get to walk alongside all of our awesome
youth in their lives. Our youth are truly seeking to serve
our community and world with hearts and eyes wide
open; they are loving first, because He first loved us all.

and come to see themselves as capable individuals with useful skills and ideas to advance in life.
Outside of class time the children and their
families have participated in several activities this
year; a grandparent’s tea party, a Harvest party,
Thanksgiving lunch, the Christmas story and
gingerbread house making event, holiday parties,
Parent’s Nite Out events and our Graduation/
Spring program. We were able to take field trips
to two different area farms, the fire station and
to see the owls at the Coeur d’Alene fairgrounds.
The children also continued corresponding with
the children at Niño’s con Valor in Bolivia with
crafts and letters.
We received grants from the Idaho
Community Foundation and Kiwanis along with
generous contributions from First Presbyterian
Church and various church members. In addition we had wonderful support of our fundraisers
including the flower baskets and bulbs, Scholastic
book sales, and Christmas gifts. With all of these
funds we were able to touch the lives of both the
families involved in our program as well as the
Family Promise program. This year we served
over 50 families with 10 of them receiving financial help through our scholarship fund.
As we look forward we feel confident that
the Lord will continue to bless us with increased
involvement from the First Presbyterian congregation. We deeply appreciate your word of mouth
referrals, holiday project volunteers, sharing of
musical / artistic gifts, field trip volunteers, and
of course, prayers for our teachers, students and
families. We also look forward to supporting
| 21
the efforts of the task force that has been put in
place to clarify the Center’s role as a mission of
the church and to strengthen the relationship
between the congregation and Glory Be families.
This task force will report to Session with
ideas on how to fully embrace Glory Be as a
mission of the church. Examples: creating a video
- to share in church - featuring Glory Be students
and teachers; invite parents to all of the family
friendly events; create an infomercial featuring
the connection Glory Be has to: family promise,
parent’s night out, ICCP, Missions, nursey care, etc.
We praise the Lord for this last year and
look forward to another exciting year supported
by a community of believers and filled with love
and laughter.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
From Your
Community Outreach Team
Let’s find God in everything we do!
Y
our Community Outreach Team thanks
you for your extraordinary participation, spiritual energy, and altruism this
past year. Our wonderful church community of
warmth, love, and faith truly soared to increasingly share the joy of the Lord with those outside
our church walls.
We lovingly invited family, friends, and
neighbors to come “home” to First Pres with
us. In 2015, we hosted many exciting events we
thought would provide a variety of opportunities to do just that.
“Joy Sunday” celebrated the fellowship
and fun of First Pres. You invited guests, you
received a delicious coffee drink, smoothie, or
ice cream. As joyfully simple as that. Starbucks
Coffee added to the celebratory aspect of the
morning, as you can imagine. Oh, and what a
delightful Sunday of welcoming our guests to
the special energy of our church.
Another new event this past year was the
Children’s Fun Run in McEuen Field. Remember
the 100+ degree day, as we cheered for the kiddos
running their collective hearts out? Our jazzy
booth served hundreds of youth and parents
with water, games, face-painting, love, and the
ever-popular popsicles!
The very next day was the Ironman 2015
extravaganza, where we cheered for the courageous participants as well as served the spectators
fruit, cookies, snacks, and LOTS of water. Our
First Pres t-shirts helped convey our support
and appreciation for all who participated.
The festive July Day in City Park brought
many families for a day of adventures and activities as well as our famous face-painting crew!
Folks from any of our adjacent communities
participated in the day’s events.
We were thankful that we could help our
First Pres Day Campers by purchasing their artistic
T-shirts. We also provided Pirate bandanas for
our Whitworth Sunday showdown. Those special
Whitworth Fellows truly enhanced our church
community outreach activities as well as blessed
all of us with their dynamic faith.
It’s not Summer without our August
Wednesday’s Parking Lot Paloozas! Great fun for
all ages, with jumpy house, games, bubbles, facepainting, and fellowship during Farmers’ Market.
Pastor Craig is the best sidewalk emcee ever!
Such a festive Back-to-School Block Party
this year. Our church and community friends
welcomed in the school season while enjoying a
gourmet potluck; our accomplished hot dog chefs
made the day extra special. This year, we had a
cool school-bus jumpy house as well as the pirate
one; the action was non-stop.
The safest and friendliest Halloweens ever
are enjoyed at our community Trunk-or-Treat. Our
many participants braved cold winds to decorate

Such a magnificent finale to our year
of Community Outreach with the Downtown
Neigh-tivity Scene in Sherman Park. Lou’s animal
connections brought to us a majestic camel (two
humps, of course), a cute donkey, a mini-zebu
African cow, a beautiful black sheep, and adorable
goats. All ages enjoyed feeding the assorted flock.
The camel with a carrot sticking out of his mouth
was hilarious. Ron’s handsome wood stable served
as the elegant backdrop for amazing photo ops,
including costumes and props replicating our
First Holy Family. Steve was on scene capturing the magic. Hot chocolate was enjoyed by all
shivering guests. A truly memorable afternoon
was shared by so many. We will participate again
next year, so be ready…!
The secret ingredient to all of our heartwarming community outreach opportunities is you.
You volunteered, contributed, and participated
for these events with your servant hearts. We
appreciate and thank you so very much. We also
thank First Pres for being a dynamic, caring, and
committed church. We look forward to working
with you in 2016, as we continue to share the love
of Jesus Christ with our community.
Much love,

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
From Your
Missions Team
T
he Mission Team’s role is to address missional needs
and opportunities, as inspired by the Holy Spirit,
through stewarding the faithful financial support
of the congregation. While the team was steadfast in the
necessary committee activities of monthly meetings,
congregation communication (bulletin/reader boards,
website and Session updates) and planning customary
and annual events (presentations by and receptions for
mission partners, Fair Trade Festival), we are humbled
and excited to report some of the exceptional actions
made towards furthering God’s kingdom with the church’s
support and resources in 2015:
Mission Trips: Along with supporting Kierstie Shellman
(Guatemala), Kari Smith (Guatemala), and Steve Bell
(Mexico) on individual mission trips, a congregational
team of eleven went to Cochabamba, Bolivia to our
Niños Con Valor partner. This trip was made possible
through the amazing work of the auction and mission
trip planning committees and the incredible outpouring of support by the First Presbyterian Church family!
Mission Partners: Clarifying Selection of Mission Partners
and Identifying New Partners
The team determined to continue the 2014 goal
to deepen our understanding of mission partnering by
clarifying how we select mission partners. A subcommittee met with Pastor Craig for guidance, read articles
and research, and then created a list of guiding principles in selecting mission partners. This document was
adopted by the whole Missions Team, with the final
version submitted with December Session minutes. Much
appreciation for the writing gifts and time provided by
sub-committee member George Sayler for the draft, edit
and final version of the guidance document.
Three new mission partners were identified and
supported in 2015:
1. Youth Missions International (YMI) with Emily
Branch as our connection. We supported YMI work
of preparing and sending missionaries from January
until July.
2. Big Table. They first received a one-time gift after
a presentation by Kevin Finch on how Big Table
supports hospitality workers. Following the adoption
of The Dream Team’s Big Five Moves and the clear
link to the work of Big Table, they were selected as
a regular partner.
3. Kukhany’okusha Cares for Children: Non-Governmental
Organization in Swaziland Africa, brought to the
Missions Team via the Bruces, was given a onetime gift. It is to be determined if they will become
a regular partner in 2016.
Missions Team goals:
• Building on the vision of past Missions Teams (starting in 2011), the goal to dedicate 10% of total giving
will be achieved in 2016!
• We envision both an international and a local church
mission trip for 2016.
• May those who come behind us find us faithful,
seeking Christ’s will in our work.

Special Report
Bolivia Mission
By Gordy Hannigan-Luther
I
n 2015, our congregation sent a team of 11 people
to our global mission partner in Bolivia, Niños con
Valor (NCV). Our congregation has
partnered with NCV for the past five years.
In 2014, we sent a two-person
vision team to NCV. With their recommendation, the support of the Missions
team, and wide congregational support,
we took our first congregational mission
trip to NCV in June 2015. As a team, we
met monthly for the six months leading up to our trip planning our building project and children’s activities,
getting to know one another, and preparing our hearts
and minds to be open to God’s leading
us in this experience. We had a fabulous travel team, who represented
our church extremely well! Members
included John and Susanna Aalbers,
Joan Hust, Gordy Hannigan-Luther,
Shay Hannigan-Luther, Ron and
Carolyn Keefer, Kierstie Shellman,
Rebecca Smith, Derek Sumey, and Caleb Thompson.
The bulk of the funding was obtained through
congregational generosity via our auction. We also held
other fundraisers, personally contributed one-third of our
costs, and received funds from the Missions committee.
Our days in Cochabamba, Bolivia were
full. We spent time with the wonderful girls and
boys who are cared for in the two NCV homes and
one NCV transitional home. We were privileged
to attend church with the children, accompany
them on a day trip, participate in and provide
a supportive audience for their
talent show, and provide crafts and
activities similar to a vacation bible
school. In addition to wonderful
times with the children, we were
also asked by Tyson Malo, NCV
Director, to build a chicken coop
for NCV. The work was challenging, but we were gratified to know that we helped to
provide a need identified by our partner organization
and which they wouldn’t have been able to accomplish
without our partnership. One of the stated missions
of NCV is, “Transforming lives, one child at a time.”
As a mission trip team, each of us were also transformed
in many ways by this wonderful experience.

Whitworth Ekklesia Project

stPres declared January 25, 2015 “Pirate
Sunday” to honor Whitworth University
(whose mascot is a pirate) and their President,
Dr. Beck A. Taylor - who came to speak in church
that Sunday. He was making the very exciting
announcement that Whitworth University had
selected 1stPres to partner in the Ekklesia Project.

history, cultural analysis of the church’s community context, and planning and implementing
new programs to serve people in the surrounding
neighborhoods. The students work through the
summer in their selected church, and stay with a
church family as a part of the immersion process.
1stPres was selected to receive four students,
or “fellows” for the summer. This was very exciting
news, and everyone celebrated by getting into the
spirit of Pirate Sunday. There was no grog served

but pirate gear was available at the door for anyone
who showed up and wanted to join in. Many had
already come to church dressed in their finest garb,
including some local Whitworth Alum, so piratelingo, “ARRRAHS!” and related puns abounded.
During the service Pastor Craig called for, “the
offerin’ a loot n’ booty.” Unfortunately, afterward
Church bookkeeper Erica Waterman stayed mum
about how many pieces of eight were contributed.
Our fellows were Molly Roloff – who spent
the summer creating a detailed strategic plan
for Glory Be. Her CDA host family was Bob &
Diane Thornton. Next was Hannah Cobb – who
spent the summer conducting and videotaping
live interviews with church members, which she
then compiled into a video of the oral history of
1stPres. She was also hosted by the Thorntons.
Then there was Josh Wagner – who spent his
Fellowship working with the children & youth,
and his spare time contributing his musical talents
to the 1stPres Praise Team. His host family was
Allen & Leslie Miller. And finally we had our
own, home-grown Kierstie Shellman who spent
the summer working with Josh to take our youth
program, that she was already in charge of, to the
next level.
All four exceeded far beyond expectations in
their challenging summer projects. And they also
proved themselves, over and over again, willing to
go beyond what was required of them to become
involved in the life of the church. They were quick
to volunteer and help out whereever they could,
and their smiling, friendly faces became a favorite
fixture at our summer events - like the Farmer’s
Market Palooza’s, and Kids Day in the Park.
The ten weeks went by quickly, and in the
end it was clear, that at least as far as 1stPres was
concerned, the project had been an overwhelming
success. The Whitworth Fellows had significantly
enriched the life of the church, and had made a
valuable, lasting contribution. But had we done
the same in their lives? Molly put it this way: “I
felt like I was immediately welcomed into your
church family. Thank you for showing me how
to LOVE1st.”

From Your
Welcome Team
T
he Welcome Team is responsible for the smile
that greets you each Sunday as you walk into
church and for that warm welcome you receive.
We work with the greeters and ushers to ensure you are
well taken care of throughout each service. If you think
everything runs like clockwork every Sunday morning
that is good, but you should know that there are many
moving pieces that have to work together to make that
happen, and there are a lot of people, working quietly
behind the scenes, who get the job done. Each one of
us has an essential role to play in making sure everyone feels welcome. We are all a member of the 1stPres
Hospitality Team!
This year we sat down with all the ushers and
greeters and discussed ways we could improve the
Sunday morning experience for visitors and longtime members alike. Look for ways that you
can get involved in this Hospitality Ministry.
Each new visitor receives a gift
bag (church coffee mug, information about the church
and its programs, and candy) delivered by Jim Douglas
and Teresa Brown-Douglas. The Schwandt’s ChristCare
Group kindly assembles these bags for us.
We celebrate our visitors three times a year with
Newcomers’ Receptions, including newcomers as well
as church leaders. These events are typically hosted at
Seasons Grill. These have proven to be valuable opportunities for us to show hospitality and love.
This year we also worked with the Community
Outreach and the Membership teams to put together the
Back to School Bash we held in September. We enjoyed
working with the other teams. The Bash was too big for
any one group to try and take it on – so it was great to
see what we could accomplish together.
In Christ,

T
he purpose of the Membership Team is to assist
the congregation in its desire to demonstrate the
love of Christ by welcoming all that grace our
doors, by inviting and encouraging them to become
active, contributing members of the church family.
There were three membership classes this year.
Pastor Craig is the teaching elder and led the classes which
cover the history of the church and information about
our local and global goals. We changed from having three
night classes to one Saturday class. Our team supplied
lunch and some snacks for these gatherings. When the
class is complete, the people are encouraged to become
members. If they decide they want to become members,
they are presented to the Session for acceptance and then
presented to the congregation.
Our team helped the Outreach Committee with
the back-to-school bash as well as the Newcomers Meetand-Greet at Seasons.
Jody Wilson, a member of the team, organized
“Dinners at 6ish.” There are 4 groups of 8 people each
which are now meeting once a month and having a great
time of fellowship.

for the Deacons’ Christmas Families drive.
Deacons
T
he Deacons consist of 18 members representing a cross-section of 1st Presbyterian Church
members, all committed to compassionate
service to congregation members and the community at large. This year, 2015, the Deacons served by:
• Continually praying for our congregation and
community.
• Donating $300 each month to St. Vincent de Paul
Help Center.
• Visiting church members each month who cannot
make it to church and while each Deacon is assigned
a church member “shut-in”, John and Maureen
Mackesy have made it their personal mission to
visit and pray for each and every shut-in. Some
shut-ins prefer simply a phone call or card, so we
adjust our visits – respecting their wishes.
• Our Sunshine Chair sends cards of encouragement to those who are ill, have had surgery or
are grieving. Over 120 cards were sent in 2015.
• Prepare communion each month for two services,
plus Christmas Eve service, including refreshing
and cleaning up between and after services. We
continued to work closely with the Worship Team
to make sure we are preparing correctly.
• Deacon’s usher both services when the month has
a 5th Sunday. We also provide supplies and help
with Maundy Thursday Service, when requested.
• We work closely with elementary schools to pick
up lost and found coats, hoodies, shirts, hats/
scarves and gloves for our clothing give-away in
August each year. This includes not only picking
up the clothing items 3-4 times during the school
year but also sorting, washing, drying, mending
and folding items.
• The August Children’s Clothing Give-Away provides
items for approximately 150+ families who each
receive a large trash bag to fill with various clothing items, including hats/scarves/gloves, shoes
and boots and various other items to help them
along the school year. This year we were able to
give away 80+ new backpacks, each filled with
school supplies! Deacons also meet daily during
the week prior to the Give-Away to set up, sort
and prepare for the hundreds of pieces of clothing and other speciality items.
• Deacons coordinate and set up the Christmas
Family Project including: convening a committee
to contact downtown and midtown schools for
families in need, interview them, create congregational giving posters for each family, and prepare
and deliver gifts from the congregation to each
family prior to Christmas. We also purchase and
wrap any gift item needed to fulfil their requests.
Deacons are able to do this, as well as help families
beyond immediate Christmas needs because of the
generosity of the congregation. Thank you, all
of you, for your donations and prayers for each
family.
• Provide home-bound church members with rides to
church, doctors visits, markets or any other areas
of need whenever possible. Meals are taken to
those who are temporarily in need due to illness,
injury, grief or becoming a new parent.
• We hold our dedicated, hard-working office staff
up by providing special treats or gifts each month
throughout the year.
• Knitting for Warmth is an outreach program
that knits prayer shawls for those going through
chemotherapy or other illnesses. Each shawl is
knit with love and prayer from the one knitting it
with the group meeting each Friday at the church
from 10:00 am – 11:30 am. Everyone is invited
to join in – Deacons will even show you how to
knit if you don’t already know how! In 2015,
approximately 180 prayer shawls for adults and
2 for children were knit with love and prayer and
then presented to a person in need for warmth of
body and soul.
• We had a time of good and fellowship welcoming incoming Deacons and saying thank you and
good-bye to out-going Deacons.
Because of the generosity of this body of church,
Deacons have been blessed to be able to provide so
many services and needs to so many above and beyond
our immediate church family. Various individual
ministries included: purchasing blankets for the
Family Promise Program; purchasing a larger wheel
chair for church use; assisting a Family Promise family
stay at a local hotel for one night; a $200 grocery
card to a family displaced by a house fire; assisting
a grandmother (who had guardianship of her four
grandchildren) with her mortgage and car insurance
during an extreme time of need; donating $1,200 to the
1st Pres Children’s Ministry Camp Spalding Summer
Camp fund; assisting a church member with her high
medical deductible during a time of illness; purchasing
a 3-wheel bike, enabling a church member to exercise
with his wife; providing camp expense for a Family
Promise child when the program and the child’s school
calendar didn’t match and there was no place for the
child that week; assisting with an electric bill for a
former church member when she was hospitalized;
donating $650 toward false teeth for a family man,
enabling him to obtain a better paying position in
| 33
order to support his family; paying room expense
for a family who was separated from their autistic
son for the first time this Christmas, enabling them
to be with him; and providing last minute Christmas
for a church family who would otherwise not be able
to have a Christmas.
We are blessed to have Becky Clegg, Gene
Adkison, and Steve Balas, who help take pictures,
refer those in need to us, protect our Christmas Family
boxes, hang up banners, get things out, put things
away, remind us of calendar dates, create posters,
pluck out dry bread, and find hidden communion
cups. We are thankful for Pastor Craig who inspires us.
Deacons meet at the church on the second Tuesday of
each month from 5:30pm to 7:00pm, at which time we
have devotions, committee reports, problem solving,
and a chance to organize our work. We are looking
forward to 2016 to see what new ideas come forward
to continue our ministry of compassionate service.
We are grateful for the many ways we become closer
to God by serving His people.

Craig in planning for future sermon
series and ideas to enhance the messages
and titles. Some of the brainstorming
includes ideas for visuals. Steve Balas
is very good at taking our ideas and
making posters and other visual aids
to enhance the message.
“Thinking Inside the Box.” was
a recent sermon series. Joash placed
a special box in the Temple to collect
free-will offerings to restore the Temple
instead of taxing the people. This was
very successful in accomplishing his goal. We used
a box in the Sanctuary
to collect the pledges for
future giving to the church.
The box was also used to
deposit issues we want to
turn over to God. These
included things that were hurtful. Burdens we are not
meant to carry ourselves. The Advent series, “Upside/
Down” is about how Christianity teaches
the opposite of the things our society
teaches. Some examples are: “Blessed
are the poor,” and “Love your enemies.”

irst Presbyterian’s small groups program is now
approximately fifteen years old, with what are
called the ChristCare groups taking the lead. All
of those years ago, local ChristCare program founders
and long-time First Presbyterian members, Buzz & Judy
Hays argued before Session for church sponsorship of
a ChristCare program with its specific meeting format,
described below. We now have thirteen active ChristCare
groups, with several of those having been fully active
for well over ten years. New groups are being formed
all the time. Several other small groups, not officially
associated with ChristCare, have sprung up in recent
years, offering social opportunities and mission outreach.
Everyone in the church, both members and
regular attendees who are not yet members, are always
welcome to join one or more groups. But what are the
benefits of membership?
Perhaps the most important is the opportunity
to study God’s word, through study of the Bible and
other Christian sources, such as books and video, in
a group setting that is small enough to allow each and
every member the opportunity for active participation
at the level he or she chooses.
A second benefit is the opportunity to make friends
in Christ. We all have friends and associates in social,
business, military, or educational settings. But these are
often experienced under competition to perform, and
often for one’s living.
Conversely, fellowship
in a Christian smallgroup setting means
new friendship and
enjoyment in a relaxed
setting with Christian

growth being the primary objective for members.
Group meetings are usually held once or twice
per month, often in the homes of group members, at
local restaurants, or in the church’s meeting rooms. Many
of the groups have adopted the ChristCare meeting
format, eluded to above. That format has four components: prayer & worship, community building (usually
meaning social time, getting to know each other better),
Christian study (again, of the Bible or other Christian
sources), and mission activities (helping others, often
the less fortunate, outside of the group). The number of
members per group usually ranges from as few as six to
as many as sixteen or more.
If all or even some of the above sounds interesting
to you, contact Becky or Steve in the church office, and
they will head you toward us. It will then be our job to
further acquaint you with First Presbyterian’s various
small-group opportunities.
So come join one of 1stPres’ action filled small
Christian groups! You won’t regret it.

From Your
A
Women’s
Association
nother year has ended for the Presbyterian
Women’s Association as it has for more than one
hundred years in this very spot in downtown
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. We have spent our time and our
resources trying to “Love First.” In my mind, we are
Sisters in the family of God. In good times we hug in
laughter. In hard times we hug in tears. Whatever the
circumstances we just keep on keeping on.
Each year each of us donates, as possible, internationally to, “The Fellowship of the Least Coin.” As a group
we donate nationally to a “Thank Offering” in November
and a “Birthday Offering” in May. Locally we support
the many projects of our church and our community.
To fund our giving we had another “FUNdraiser.”
Our “Shop, Sup and Song” event was truly fun, and it
enabled us to have a total budget for the year of $2,160,
with the possibility of additions.
Our meetings are open to any woman. From
September through May we meet twice a month. The times
and places can be found through the Co-Moderators or
the Church office. The first meeting includes a time for
Fellowship and Dessert, a business meeting, and a study
of God’s Word. The second meeting again has time for
Fellowship and Dessert, a brief business meeting, and a
Special Speaker or Happening.
This year we both lost and gained members, so
we both mourned and rejoiced. As Sisters in the Family
of God we just keep on keeping on.

Family Promise
of North Idaho at 1stPres
Y
ou may have looked at the poster in the hall of
the Family Center that has the face of a young
child with a big smile. The words on the poster
read, “Every child deserves a home.” This child represents every child in our community and those words
are at the heart of the Family Promise endeavors to see
every child in a healthy home environment. One of
the statements made in the Family Promise volunteer
training is “many families are only one paycheck away
from being homeless.” For those of us who have a job
where our earnings allow us to build savings, a job that
wouldn’t quickly change our status to unemployed, and
have relatives we can count on to help us through a time
of crisis, it is hard to imagine that this could happen. To
find ourselves homeless with our children, where would
we begin to bring life back to normal?
Through Family Promise, families with children
(prenatal to community college) who find themselves
homeless are provided a program that leads to stable
housing – a home every child deserves. The parents
must meet the Family Promise criteria, which includes
a background check, and agree to follow the program
rules. The Family Promise staff helps the parents develop
skills they need in employment, money management,
parenting, etc.
First Presbyterian is one of many churches in the
Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Rathdrum area that have
joined in the North Idaho Family Promise network. On
a rotating schedule, for one week the hosting church
provides safe housing with breakfast, lunch, and dinner
for the families. Sunday School classrooms become
homes from 5:30 PM to 7:30 AM. The day starts with
the parents going off to their jobs and/or the children
going off to school. The Family Promise Day Center
at St. Luke’s becomes a place where the families can
receive training, do laundry, etc. In 2015, our church
hosted families five times for one week each time. As an
example, in November, we served eleven people, seven
of which were children.
1stPres helps the families on their path to ending
homelessness by giving of ourselves; hosting a dinner/
evening, being an overnight/breakfast host, preparing
meals and food, transforming the Sunday School rooms
into apartments, or doing laundry. In a perfect world,
it is estimated that there are spots for nearly 100 volunteers over the course of each week we host! Of course
there are overlaps where one person does several jobs.
Another point raised in the volunteer host training is the important role a caring and listening host plays
with the parents and children. If you want to learn more
of the host and guest family interaction, view the training video clip on the Internet at https://www.youtube.
com/watch?v=eYxru3Xq-gw.
To the many of you that have volunteered, we are
grateful and say “well done!” If you have never volunteered for Family Promise before but have a heart for
families, children and parents, we would like to work
with you in this ministry of faith in action. Every effort
is an important part of enabling a family to put the
pieces back together as they move toward having their
own home and a way to sustain themselves. For more
information, contact the church office.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
From Your
Technology Team
From Your
Stewardship Team
T
he purpose of the Stewardship Committee is to
foster a feeling of compassion and love following Christ’s leadership and promoting what the
church does as part of an entire picture of taking care
of and loving our whole congregation, church, and the
world. We want each member and attendee of the church
to help themselves and others to become better stewards
of their talents, compassions, and material wealth. The
congregation this year thoroughly embraced the ideas
and joined in the work of this church, giving their time,
talent, and money when necessary to all that the church
did and continues to do.
We continued to bring awareness of stewardship
to all people with bulletin boards in the Hunter building
and in both hallways. Activities of our congregation and
honors show us how we lead and help our congregation
and the community.
We continued to stress planned giving and
estate planning as a way to help the church by leaving
financial legacies to the church. Electronic giving of
pledges was stressed as a way of giving that is easy and
automatic, so that a person does not have to worry about
giving. It also helps the church to know that pledged
money is coming regularly and on time.
Our annual pledge drive occurred in September
and October. The theme was: “Looking Forward –Giving
Back.” This year we implemented a “thermometer” to
gage the number of people who were giving. Our goal
was 300 people! This was wonderfully demonstrated
by Warren Bakes who kept it up to date. The ending
date was November 1st, with a thank you cake for all
the members and nonmembers who had pledged in this
campaign. A letter went out to all members explaining
the campaign and how to return the pledge card. One
of our members, Lloyd Siebert, made a Joash Chest.
The pledges were dedicated during the church services
and brought down to the altar to be placed in this chest
for three Sundays. This was a wonderful way to actually pledge in an active, engaged way. We are pleased
to announce that our goal was met of 300 pledges this
year!! We are a fortunate congregation that rises to a
new challenge and joined in the campaign.
In September, there was also a call to keep up
with the pledges of the current year as our monies were
falling behind. As a result of this plea during a service,
we gained much money back from the current pledges
to help balance the budget.
We will continue to help highlight all of the
activities of the church by running announcements and
up coming events in the All Purpose room on the wall
with a projector and computer on Sundays between
services. We feel that the activities need to be placed
where people will read them and remember what is
coming, as opposed to just seeing them once during the
beginning of each service on Sunday. This way, again, we
can use the stewardship of the congregation to encourage people to be active with their talents.
Our committee this year consisted of: Glen
Armstrong, Warren Bakes, Ann Dare, Ann Johnson,
and Bill McCarty. Always helpful to our committee are
Steve Balas and Pastor Craig. Many thanks go to this
great group of people.

Margie McCoy

T
his year was busy for the Tech Team. For the
first time in many years both the Office and
Sanctuary technical needs were being handled
by a single team.
We started the year with the purchase of equipment for the Sanctuary. New wired and wireless handheld
microphones were purchased to replace aging equipment.
A new wireless headset was purchased as well. A new
computer system was built and installed in February.
This system is being used to process video and combine
all of the video inputs into a usable format.
A new HD camera was installed for use in the
Sanctuary. This improved the quality of the videos. The
camera was also used by Whitworth Fellow Hannah Cobb
to produce the videos used in her history of the church.
Pastor Craig received a new Surface tablet in
March to replace both an aging laptop and an iPad. He
has used his new tablet for writing and delivering his
messages each week.
The Tech Team has discussed ways to update
the network for the office and Sanctuary. A server was
donated and server software was purchased. This server
will be used to create a local domain and act as centralized
storage that can be secured. Network switches have also
been donated to enable us to improve and consolidate
the networking in the buildings.
We are looking forward to 2016. We have many
plans, including updating the cabling in the
Sanctuary to improve
the audio system, installing and configuring the
new server, updating the
network and continuing
to improve the technical
systems for the church.
One of our
members is finishing his
degree in IT Systems. He
will be completing his
internship by helping to
| 39
design and implement the server and network systems.
We continue to look for interested members of
the congregation that could run the audio/visual system
during services and special events.
David Johnson, Charlie Branch and Joe Lee are
the dedicated staff that are responsible for the excellent work each Sunday to provide the sound and video
systems that have become so important to our current
mode of worship.
Respectfully,
Dan Brown

From Your
Personnel Team
T
he personnel team meets each third Tuesday of
the month throughout the year. The members are:
Donna Schwandt, Bev Moss, Judy Kirking, Warren
Bakes, Eric Fehr, Bob Guenther and Steve Peterson.
Our team works in conjunction with other
teams: finance, stewardship, building and grounds,
youth ministry, children and family ministry, and the
Glory Be School, and in respect with the staff members
associated with these teams. Our team appreciates the
input and dedication from these ministries.
Changes in our staffing positions: A search
team formed to find
a Worship Music
Specialist, and, in
March, we were blessed
and rewarded with the
hiring of Ray Weaver.
In April, we added
Emily Rogers and Laura
Koepke, who share the
part-time receptionist
position. This allowed
the promotion of Becky
Clegg to the position of
Church Administrator.
Again, we have been
40 | 1stPresDowntown
blessed with the diligence and dedication these staff
members have shown.
A search team has been formed and is presently
looking for a second Youth Leader. That position will work
in conjunction with the present Youth Leader, Kierstie
Shellman, in developing the spiritual formation of our
growing numbers of middle and high school youth.
Also, a search team is being formed to begin
the process of replacing the bookkeeper position. Erica
Waterman has accepted a pastoral position and is entering a new chapter in her spiritual serving of our Lord.
Job descriptions for staff positions are in place and
annual reviews have been conducted and documented
and the results reported to the team.
Personnel is responsible for presenting salary
recommendations to the Finance Team for all the staff
for the upcoming year. This is a major portion of the
Church’s budget, and the vision of our team is to equip
our Church with the resources to accomplish the direction we have chosen with our “Big Moves.”

Personnel Chair
From Your
Adult Discipleship
Team
T
he AD committee was tasked in 2015 with
moving forward with the implementation of the
Christianity Explored series that was finalized
the previous year. The previous AD committee chaired
by Bill McCarty, explored several different video series.
Christianity Explored was felt to be the most dynamic
and captivating, encompassing not only a basic introduction to Christianity but also new and relevant enough
to engage those attending the series.
The first couple of months of the 2015, the AD
group with Pastor Craig in attendance, discussed how
this new video series should be organized, led and
presented. With the help of Steve Balas and Pastor Craig,
advertising began for the first series in March/April. It
2015 ANNUAL REPORT
was decided that Pastor Craig would lead the 1st and 7th
sessions, with the other sessions facilitated by myself,
Jamie Park and Wendy Wilson. Initial attendance for
the first series was filled with 20 attenders. By the end of
the last video session, the group’s number did decrease
slightly but attendance was still good.
Overall, the video series was well received.
Comments from those who attended was received. There
were a few comments as to confusion of the expectation of the series and what was presented, i.e. a few felt
the series should have been called an “introduction to
the Book of Mark” rather than “Christianity Explored”
which gave the impression of a more basic foundation
of Christianity to those who are new. Other comments
included ensuring the other facilitators (namely myself)
better prepared to facilitate the series, yet thoroughly
enjoyed Pastor Craig’s attendance during the first and
last session.
A follow-up meeting was held as to how to
present the next video series. It was decided to recruit
more facilitators, have a more formal training session
and have Pastor Craig attend the last video series.
Advertising once again started with help from Steve
and Pastor Craig. Unfortunately, very few signed up
for the second series and ultimately the formal training
did not happen. Personally, the Christianity Explored
series resonated with me and presented me a view of the
Bible in a way that I have never experienced. I think the
series should continue to be available. The only changes
I would suggest would be to refine the title so as to give
those who may attend, more of a concise expectation.
Sincerely and faithfully,
Travis Park

015 was a good year for B&G committee thanks
to everyone’s efforts. Special thanks to Becky and
Gene for handling the daily maintenance issues of
keeping our church home clean and operational. Also
thanks to the congregation for treating our church home
with TLC by picking up after themselves and pitching
in to help when help was needed.
The 2015 committee of Bill Welsh, John MacRae,
Rick Clutter, and Rob Felton spent a certain amount
of time surveying future facility needs and planning
for extraordinary maintenance issues. Painting of the
men’s and women’s restrooms on the second floor of
the Hunter building was completed as well and the 1st
floor women’s restroom. New floor covering for the 1st
floor women’s restroom was deferred to 2016. Painting
of the men’s restroom on the 1st floor will be completed
as a 2016 project.
The remaining two doors for the Glory Be
Pre-school on the 1st floor of the Hunter building were
converted to “Dutch” doors to better control access and
visibility into those rooms.
The Spring Cleanup Work Party planted the
flower planters in front of the church as well as spent
time cleaning out some of the overgrown vegetation at
the north end of the Fireside Room. It was good to see
a couple of our members sweat a little. Next time, we
will need to enforce mandatory breaks for those whose
only major physical activity has been driving a golf cart.
Again, thanks to everyone’s effort we should be
proud of our stewardship in maintaining God’s place in
which to worship him. We are all looking forward to 2016.

From Your
CRE (Commissioned Ruling Elder)
A
s you all know, this has been an exciting year for
me as I received my first call as Pastor of Bovill
Community Presbyterian Church in Bovill, ID.
I would be remiss if I didn’t give the Congregation credit
for all of the work that you did helping me get here. I
can’t begin to tell you just how thankful I am that God
blessed me with this Church Family to support me as I
grew into my role as a Pastor.
While I will be far away ministering with the folks
in Bovill, I won’t be leaving First Presbyterian behind. I
believe that the families that we choose make just as big
of an impact on our lives as the family God gives to us
and you all are, and always will be, a part of my family.
My girls will still be worshiping here with you and while
I’m jealous, I also have a sense of peace because I know
that you will do an excellent job helping to shape them
into strong women of God.
Please keep Bovill Community Presbyterian in
your prayers as they try and teach the new Pastor the ins
and outs of living and worshiping in a small town and
know that we hold you in our prayers as well.
God Bless,
Erica Waterman
