A grant of $5,000 was made to the PC(USA) Medical Benevolence Foundation to assist in the purchase of a 4-wheel Toyota truck to transport supplies and personnel in Kinshasa, Congo, from the Jeanne Stewart bequest. Each year a grant of $5000 is to be made to a world health mission until funds invested from this bequest are exhausted. Grants of$750 were made to the Energy Share programs of both Virginia Natural Gas and Dominion Virginia Power . 

The Fund has continued with the investment strategy of investing a portion of the funds in equities and a portion in fixed interest bearing instruments. 

In 2002 the Endowment committee proposes to continue promoting the Fund as an option in estate and retirement planning through vehicles such as bequest, Charitable Gift Annuity, Deferred Payment Gift Annuity and Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust. As well as to continue to remind our members the Endowment Fund is available to receive gifts to honor the memory of family or friends and a means to provide perpetual support to a favorite mission. 

The Endowment Committee is now considering recommendations for grants for the current year. There is approximately the same amount of money this year as last year for grants. Your suggestions are welcome.

For forty-eight years, Bayside has struggled to listen to the Voice of God and to walk faithfully in the Way. That is why I am excited to be your pastor, preacher and friend. To keep on in our pilgrimage together in 2002, my goals are: 

1. Leading meaningful services of worship and preach competent sermons for the comfort and challenge of a growing, vital, and faithful congregation.
2. Teach four of five classes, seminars or workshops with different age levels in the congregation or community.
3. Visit in the homes, places of work, or bedsides of a least 500 members and friends of the congregation to offer pastoral care and love.
4. Seek strength and renewal for myself, the staff, and the congregation through daily prayer and Bible study.
5. Take a regular day off, hike at least 25 miles on the Appalachian Trail, and keep my sense of humor.

2001 was a growing year for Christian education programs and for the Christian education staff. Church School attendance increased as well as youth participation in Youth Connection. With the youth. it was a great year in fund raising as we set our sights on Corning, NY, for our first youth mission trip. Fund raising projects included two Golf Dinners, a Mission Dinner, Yard Sale and Community Halloween Carnival, with the Yard Sale surpassing all expectations as we raised more than $3,000 for the Youth Mission Trip. Twenty-one adults and young people headed to New York in June for the Youth Mission Trip. Our projects included painting, demolition, and reconstruction of handicap ramps. It was a memorable week. 

Christian education programs this year included Church School, Wednesday Lenten programs, Summer Fun Days, Vacation Bible School (GREAT Directors with 200 children participating), Sunday Youth Connections (including an EXCEPTIONAL Y FINE Youth Sunday WRITTEN by the youth!), Summer Youth Outings and Beach & Bible, Wednesday Night Bible Studies, Thursday morning Women ' s Bible Study. We used curriculum from more than 10 different publishers with our children's Church School classes focusing on material from the PCUSA' s Covenant People. We also hired a part -time person to work with the children ' s programs. I am fortunate that I now get to see my wife more often! 

In looking back over the past year I am reminded that ALL of the programs in Christian education require volunteers. From Childcare to Teachers, VBS Directors to Youth Advisors, volunteers are the core of the leadership. It is volunteers who regularly share their faith, who weekly prepare lessons, who weekly talk with the children and adults in the classroom. With more than 100 volunteers involved in the programs, we probably reached more than 500 participants in our education programs. That is good! 

I am blessed this past year in that I had the opportunity to travel to Ukraine as part of a Mission Trip. I also had the fortune to work with and get to know many of Bayside Presbyterian Church' s members. I do believe that the sky is the limit in what we can do as a Church, and I know that, with God at the helm, we can be an AWESOME Church! What are my goals for the coming year? 

2. To continue to see the Youth and Church School program grow. 

4. To attend at least one Continuing Education event.

I have found my work this past six months to be very rewarding. Vacation Bible School was a tremendous success; Summer Fun Days (4) averaged 50 children in attendance per session. Two new summer programs were implemented this summer -Music, Movement and more and Movie Madness. 

The fall began with a wonderful increase in church attendance. I began two new groups -the 3rd grade Kids Group and 4th and 5th grade Youth Group. I also began working with Katie Grant's children's choir group, Kids of the Kingdom. I have three different age groups for Y2hour each to explore the journey to their faith. These children have sent toys to children in Honduras, collected 200 canned goods for the Food Pantry and have served at Judeo Christian Outreach. I am very proud of the accomplishments of these children. They are awesome! Also in September I taught The Lord's Supper classes to 44 parents and children. 

I began a newsletter for infants through 5th grade to keep the parents apprised to changes and new activities. In November I brought in a storyteller for children 2 through 8 to teach them about giving thanks and being thankful. In December we implemented a rotation schedule for grades I through 5 -feedback was very positive. In December I I held a Christmas workshop for children 4 through 5th grade. 

I feel very positive with my work with the children. My goals for next year are: 
I. to increase volunteers in all areas of the CE Ministry 
2. to change Kids' Fellowship to a "Children's Church" 
3 .to make the Church Library more "kid friendly" and "parent friendly" 
4. to get the children more service oriented

Bayside's Music Ministry is growing! Our Wednesday "Kids of the Kingdom" program now numbers 38 children, grades K through 5. With the help of Vel St. Onge and Kathie Roberts teaching handbells, and Lynn Wiard teaching Bible study, the children receive coordinated instruction in singing, ringing, crafts, mission projects, Bible study, and fellowship. I am grateful for the above named for their help, as well as the parents who faithfully bring their children and support our efforts. 

In addition to the handbell instruction offered to grades 3- 5, a youth handbell group meets on Sundays. Open to grades 6 through 12, the ringers are taught music reading skills as well as handbell techniques. A new group for adults has begun, and will eventually become a ringing group in its own right, as well as prepare ringers for the more advanced Bells of Bayside, an experienced bell choir that plays regularly for church services and occasional outside engagements. Bayside Presbyterian is a member of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers. 

The Sanctuary Choir has grown in numbers, I am happy to say. But more importantly, it has grown in sound and musicianship. Adult choir members are typically very committed church members, and our Sanctuary Choir is no exception. They commit to weekly rehearsals and regular attendance in Sunday worship services, and they usually wear other hats in the congregation, too. This choir is open to all interested persons from Middle School through adults. We work several weeks ahead, so when folks need to be away, they will have had a chance to practice the music at another rehearsal. 

Our Saturday Night Alive Praise Team continues to grow in ability and ensemble! We are always open to new participants, either instrumentalists or singers. From time to time the SNA team provides music for Sunday morning worship services, also. 

We continue to develop our cadre of musicians who sing solos, or play instruments. These folks sing at any of our three worship services, and other occasions as well. And at times we are enriched by invited guest musicians, such as the orchestra from Atlanta, or The Itinerant Band from Tidewater Friends of Folk Music, or musicians from the Virginia Symphony or the Virginia Beach Symphony. 

My goals for the next year include a continuation of the growth described above. For myself, I hope to continue growing as a musician, as a choral director, as a spiritual leader, as an organist, and as a jazz pianist! I will participate in the "Organ Swell" series of concerts which is part of the Virginia Waterfront Arts Festival, playing an organ recital on May 2nd at Freemason Baptist Church in Norfolk. I continue to work with the American Guild of Organists, serving on the board of the Tidewater Chapter. I hope to attend a sacred music conference during the summer months, probably in Montreat, NC. 

Through it all, God must remain at the center of our efforts, for To God Alone Be the Glory

The Task Force reviewed the book What Unites Presbyterians and paid special attention to the books emphasis upon The Book of Order and The Book of Confession. 

Over the summer months we asked the Session Elders to consider how well our ministries were currently meeting the ideals contained in the "Great ends of the Church", (Section G-1.0200 Book of Order) and "The Church and Its Mission" (Section G-3.000). We evaluated their responses along with our own evaluation of Bayside Church’s current Mission Statement (as it appears on the front of the Church Bulletin). 

Based upon these assessments and our studies, the Task Force has drafted a proposed set of Mission Statements and companion Vision Statement for Bayside Church. (A vision Statement is a description of what it takes to successfully accomplish the Mission; The Mission Statement is a statement of our purpose. It answers the Question: Why do we Exist)?

We will share our proposed set of Mission and Visions Statements with the congregation at the Annual Congregational Meeting.

Much has happened during the past year with the Education Ministry which met monthly. The committee continues to be very impressed with the work and dedication of the Director of Christian Education, Dan Wiard. During the past year an assistant Director of Christian Education, Lynn Wiard, was hired and she has also added immeasurable to the education programming. 

Our focus this year has been on increasing church school attendance both youth and adult; making the library more functional by having a child's library table and video stand constructed, and are looking to expand this space. We have purchased not only current books, reference materials, but also videos and other multimedia items along with Bible maps to be used in classrooms. 

We have seen a steady growth in attendance in all aspects of our educational programming including the preschool. The preschool will expand into providing kindergarten classes in 2002 to compliment its already flourishing program. The preschool's success is due in no small part to its director, Margaret Bobst. The innovative programming of our assistant DCE extended to our Vacation Church School where over 200 young people enjoyed a program that included an experience that mirrored life as it would have been in the time of Jesus. The senior highs had two rooms dedicated to them and in part decorated by several Girl Scouts working toward a merit badge. Several church members have donated furniture and games for these rooms. Plans are to expand the programming to meet current youth needs. These include another working mission trip like the one in 2001, where the youth did projects to underwrite much of the trip. Our DCE is redesigning the new member brochure that explains church school programs. 

Our goals for next year include continued emphasis on increasing church school attendance, expanding educational programs to include all ages, and continue library development.

In keeping with our purpose, the Presbyterian Women of Bayside are committed to many benevolent activities. Some of the charities we support are Union Theological Seminary, Makemie Woods, Zuni Presbyterian Training Center, Edmarc and Church World Services as well as our regular contribution to Fellowship of the Least Coin and our annual birthday and Thank Offerings which support many different projects which help women and children worldwide. We support our faith with a monthly Bible study at our Circle meetings. This year we are studying the Book of John. We gather monthly form September to may with some of the Circles meeting for Retreats or dinners in the summer months. Each meeting is a study of God’s word as well as leads to many meaningful relationships. In support of building an inclusive, caring community, we do that within the Church as well as with our surrounding community. We run and support the Food Pantry with the help of many church members who help shop as well as support the monthly items needed. Different Circles have projects they support such as supplying area schools with clothing for the school nurse to distribute as needed. One of our Circles collects blankets for an area Children’s Hospital and another collected items over the summer and personal kits for World Services, which they distribute in an emergency situation. Another of our Circles decorates rooms at St. Mary’s Infant Home. During the Christmas holiday season each Circle sponsors a foster Child from the Virginia Beach social Service Dept. We also give our support to the New Members Reception, Lenten Dinners and wherever the women are needed throughout the Church. 

It is through God’s blessing we can fulfill these many projects and may He keeps us all in his precious care now and throughout the coming year.
