Mortgage Reduction Report

During 2007, we had to address some building repairs and maintenance that were necessary to help us continue to help other groups in our community without breaking our budget. If our offerings were closer to our budget, we could have made additional payments to the mortgage as we have in other years, but we were stretched too thin this year.

In 2008, we hopefully will have fewer demands from the building, but I am not budgeting any extra payments because the income from users of the building will be reduced.

2008 Building Usage Rates and Agreement

Usage Rates:

• $150 for entire building ( Extra deposit of $100 for single time users, ie. weddings )
  
• $75 for sanctuary or fellowship hall
• $50 for small group room

There are many groups that share the building at 3724 Appian Way. In order to keep the building secure, clean, comfortable, safe and usable for everyone, we have put together the following clean up and lock up responsibilities that need to be completed after each use of the building:

Sanctuary:

• Clean paper and trash out of pews. ( if trash was there before you got there, report to Jackie Eby )
• Place lost and found items in the lost and found cabinet in the basement
• Return Hymnals and Bibles to closet
• Check trash can in sound room
• Vacuum if necessary

Front Foyer

• Pick up paper and trash
  
• Place lost and found items in the lost and found cabinet in the basement
• Sweep foyer if necessary
• Check trash can by the water fountain

Bathrooms ( 2 upstairs, 4 downstairs )

• Pick up paper and trash
• Empty trash cans if more than half full

Fellowship Hall and Kitchen

• Move all chairs and tables to the wall
• Sweep with dust mop
• Pick up trash and empty trash can
• Clean kitchen if necessary

Stairways

• Make sure all stairways are completely clear of objects ( stairways are not closets)
  
• Pick up trash
  

Cleaning Room

• Put all cleaning products and tools away

Miscellaneous

• Set Thermostats to 69 Heat in Winter, 74 Cool in Summer
• Lock all doors

Thank you!

Clutter accumulating again...

The problems are not near as bad as they were last year when we broke a bunch of bad habits and drew lines about storage space but they are approaching that level. I've documented a few of the items left around the building so that people will know when they start disappearing.

Administration Meeting Minutes - July 28, 2007

Attendees:
no meeting actually held ( we seem to be transitioning to being a life-group led church )

Next Meeting:
Saturday, September 22, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Finances
Income and expenses are tracking near the projected budget. Window work is complete.

Share the load (Adjustments for 2007):
New leaders are needed for 1-6th grade and 7th-12th grade this fall.

Discipleship:
Groups have started ( North Lex, South Lex, and Nicholasville ). As the groups become more of a core of our body, we expect them to be responsible for the Discipleship, Evangelism, Service and Fellowship. The transition is occuring... Don't miss out. Join a group if you haven't already!

Building:
Now that the windows are done, the next investment of time that needs to occur is for us to re-evaluate our insurance packages. Our coverage is low, our current provider would like to drop part of our insurance profile, and various users of the building have violated several safety rules that have endangered lives, the building and expensive equipment.

Evangelism:
Commissioning a pair of missionaries to Africa would probably top my list.

Edging is finished

Adam became the first person to be paid ($15) to do the edging and the last person to do it.

The important thing is the edging is done!

While Adam was doing the last 45 feet of edging, I mowed a good portion of the outside of the tree sanctuary and trimmed the trees, so I don't think we will need another outdoor work day this summer.

Administration Meeting Minutes - May 26, 2007

Next Meeting:
Saturday, July 28th, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Finances
Expenses are under control. Improvements are occurring later than planned and coming in within budget so things cash flow is not a problem right now. Our monthly electric bill exceeded our monthly mortgage interest this month. I believe that is the first time that has occurred in Tatesbrook's 23 years of being a church. After we get the heating and cooling under control with the stationary windows, there is some potential that we can get the electric bill lower than the monthly interest, but eventually the mortgage interest will be $0 and we will have to give up.

Share the load (Adjustments for 2007):
One of the biggest transitions in work load will be Children's Church. Normally the third Sunday in May is the last Children's Church lesson of the year, but this year only, I have extended it to the 1st Sunday in June. We were one lesson short of completing our three year journey through the Bible, so I agreed to teach one lesson in the summer. I know the parents of the 1st through 6th grade are eager to try new things next year so I am looking forward to hearing great things from these kids in the coming years.

Discipleship:
Groups have started ( North Lex, South Lex, and Nicholasville ). As the groups become more of a core of our body, we expect them to be responsible for the Discipleship, Evangelism, Service and Fellowship. The transition is occuring... Don't miss out. Join a group if you haven't already!

Building:
There are a couple of transformations that are occurring with the building in the coming months that everyone will need to be aware of.
The first is VBS. On June 10th, all of the student desks and chairs in the classrooms will be piled into one room and we will transform the remaining rooms into VBS classrooms for one week. The following week, from June 18 through 21, the windows will be replaced throughout the building. On Saturday, June 23rd, we will have a work day to touch up the windows, finish some of the painting from the previous work day and trim the tree sanctuary.

Someone reported that a Black Nissan Sentra with License Plate 784-AFD has been sitting in the parking lot when no one is present at the building. This vehicle will need to be moved this week before all the summer activities start. We have friends at the TBNA that will help us remove it.

Evangelism:
VBS is a great chance for evangelism this coming month... Please see Tommie Martin about what you can do to help. We also have a few other opportunities with the community this month.

On June 9th, the Tatesbrook Neighborhood Association will be holding the 2nd Annual Ice Cream Social ( right before VBS with Firetrucks, Fireman and Police Officers ).

Starting June 11th and continuing through August 3rd, Mayor Newberry has sponsored a free, nutritious lunch program from 11:00 to 1:00 at the Appian Hill apartments. This lunch is open for all children under the age of 18.

Youth: ( Matt )
Matt is finishing up his series of Bible teaching using "Indiana Jones" as a theme. The youth group will be changing soon with the addition of several 7th graders. There are only three slots left for the B.A.S.I.C summer camp and there are former youth members that are interested in going, so please see Matt if you want to go to camp this year.

Work Day Accomplishments

I arrived at the building at 7:00 to trim some hedges before everyone got there at 8:00 and found Josh getting an early start on finishing the walls in the foyer. As far as I know, Josh was the selector of the green colors and the planner of the work in the foyer as the leader of the South Lexington Life Group.

Many members of the South Lexington Life Group contributed to prepping and painting the foyer. ( Paul and Tracy Barth, Josh and Kresta Wilson, Lynn Wilkerson and Jaren )

Other contributors were Eric Nieland, Kim Hind and Lewis Jones (seen here)

Shortly before 8:00 AM, Mike Brady rolled into the parking lot with a load of mulch, Ronnie Brock and a sledge hammer.

I had to leave at 8:50 to take Adam to a baseball game, and by that time, Kim had arrived with a sledge hammer of her own.

Kim gave Ronnie a much needed break, but really didn't break off as many bricks per hit. I don't think she spent as many hours on the baseball field.

Later, Kim and Ronnie cleaned up all the brick debris.



While Kim helped Ronnie, Matt helped Scott with the sanctuary lighting. Scott was determined to finish the job before leaving.

Scott and Matt have both worked two other days to be in position to finish the job today. Knowing the Matt had other plans later in the morning, the focused first on the assembly of all the lamps and ceiling fans so that Scott could finish the job.

After dropping Adam off at the game I returned with Becca, who helped take hedge clippings and the remains of Kim's annual "bush to tree" campaign to the water basin, pick up trash around the property and play with Cameron.

After about 90 minutes of work, she decided it would be more fun to pester Scott while he worked.

The Jones Family arrived in the heat of the day to finish Becca's job. They cleaned and swept all the paved surfaces and took trimmings to the water basin. They also did some minor fill in work where holes showed up in the lawn.

In the afternoon when I returned to finish the hedges and repair a leaking toilet, I found everything cleaned up and piled neatly. ( a trademark of the Jones Family )

Edging has begun... you need to act quickly to participate

Because of the dire shape of the water retention basin in 2005 and 2006, the city sent officials to the church grounds to make a list of the items that required attention. Edging the sidewalks was one of the items on that list.

In the 15 months since the list was presented to us. I would estimate that the church has spent 12-15 man hours discussing strategies and equipment investment strategies. During our Administration team meeting walk through yesterday, James said he would do the edging with a shovel.


This picture represents one hour of work with a shovel and a SUV. ( 30 minutes to dig, 30 minutes to pick up and move the extracted sod ) In this picture, you can also see what a dramatic improvement this will be to our community. It will be good for people to walk side by side instead of single file.

If you have a pickup truck, the would take less than an hour, but you may not dig as fast as James.

I paced off the remaining work. There is only 16 hours of work left for one person, an SUV and a shovel. You need to act quickly before this work is completely done.

Administration Meeting Minutes - April 28, 2007

Attendees:
Matt Hind, James Davis, Dan Leahy, Mike Brady, Josh Wilson

Next Meeting:
Saturday, May 26th, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Finances
Personal finance class was a success. The newest graduates are John and Theresa Holmes and Carol Davis. First quarter results are not closed, but are very close to our budget. April offerings and expenses are unknown. ( Our mission payments are a function of the first quarter offerings )

We also discussed a few other mission opportunities for this year or next year.

Share the load (Adjustments for 2007):
Tony Jones and his family are pitching in to do sound setup and Eva Leppert is doing the sound. The music team would like Eva to play bass so we could still use some more sound people.

Discipleship:
Groups have started ( North Lex, South Lex, and Nicholasville ). As the groups become more of a core of our body, we expect them to be responsible for the Discipleship, Evangelism, Service and Fellowship.

Travis is teaching Ephesians on Sunday morning. At the current pace, this class may be finished at the end of May or early summer.

Building:
A few struggles with electronic equipment, extension cords and nursery toys being "borrowed" and not returned. A few struggles with settings on the sound equipment. Additional discussion about how to better share the building in 2008 and beyond.

Evangelism:
Our body has been active in evangelism this past month. We need to have a Dare2Share for adults to take our eyes off of the circumstances that we deal with day to day and alert us to the needs of those around us and the commands that our Lord and Saviour gave to us.

Youth: ( Matt )
Attendance is down to three students per week. Much discussion about how best to serve the middle school youth.

Next Meeting:
Saturday, March 24th, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Finances
The $6,000 deficit in January was combination of lower offerings, higher quarterly giving associated with higher offerings in 4Q06, and Dare2Share tickets for 35 people that will be reimbursed in February. I will be offering a class for personal finances for those that are interested. The introduction to that class will be held at our home on Sunday, February 25th at 5:30 PM. The class will be five weeks long and it will start on March 4th. I'd like to be finished by the end of April, but it is a self paced class.

Share the load (Adjustments for 2007):
Duane Keaton has taken over the responsibility of operating the video projector on Sunday mornings. It is also good for our body to add some new responsibilities in teaching and book sales on Sunday morning. The most immediate needs will be a sound operator for the next few months and window replacement.

Discipleship:
More discussion that this month indicating that one on one accountability and discipleship in groups of three are more important for us than the classes or the groups of 12.

Evangelism:
Our body has been active in evangelism this past month. We need to have a Dare2Share for adults to take our eyes off of the circumstances that we deal with day to day and alert us to the needs of those around us and the commands that our Lord and Saviour gave to us.

Announcements:
Mike and Dan to discuss. Since many people come to the service late and many people leave early, it might be good to do the announcements before or after the fellowship session in the middle of the service.

List of repairs around the building: ( Looking for Paid Staff to remove items from the list )
Windows remain the top priority. We also added a few new items to the bottom of the list.

• A few windows in rear of building at dangerous point of falling out (LCF suggested sliding windows with screens instead of crank windows or fixed windows)
• Need to repair drywall and paint in entry way.
• Plumber: Repair the outside faucet in the rear of the building
• Plumber: Repair the leaking faucet in the upstairs men's restroom
• Plumber: Repair baptistry heater ( water heater or jacuzzi heater instead of current system)
• HVAC ( Install air return for the sanctuary, ventilation for sound room for equipment, workers and most importantly the thermostat )
• Install New Lighting: Sanctuary and foyer
• Remove brick mail box - replace with a normal mailbox in one of the community's cluster of mail boxes. Safer for drivers pulling out of driveway, elimination of an eye-sore. (need volunteer)
• Need to rebuild shed or tear it down ( need communication with users and neighbors )
• Need to replace ceiling tiles in basement
• Need to replace many fluorescent lights throughout the building ( Men's restroom in basement has no lights at all )
  
• Finish mudding and painting in the CAT Closet
• Install cabinets and counter tops in the youth room
• Minor carpentry finish work in the youth room
• Repair and reinforce our neighbor's fence
• Edge the sidewalks
• Talk with city about picking up herbies in the back instead of by the street
  

Youth: ( Matt )
Youth have been leveraging other groups this month with Dare2Share and a "Face the Giants" movie night at another church. One afternoon this week, Matt also discovered that we have many kids that are playing ball in the church parking lot even without a decent basketball goal. Matt also has a few other basketball ideas before there is a court on the property. Praying for mentors for the youth.

Administration Meeting Minutes - January 27, 2007

Attendees:
Matt Hind, James Davis, Dan Leahy, Mike Brady

Next Meeting:
Saturday, February 24th, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that can follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Administrative emphasis for 2007:
We did not discuss this at the meeting, but our behavior is still aligned with the tentative direction that was discussed by Dan at the December meeting in regard to the five fold ministries. Applying less time to Service, instead, moving time to Discipleship, and secondarily to Evangelism.

Share the load (Adjustments for 2007):
Much discussion about some people carrying heavy loads. Most of this will come out in the celebration when we talk about the opportunities with Preschool (now), Children's Church (August), Middle School (TBD)

Discipleship:
One example of that behavior would be the Ephesians class taught by Travis and the Small Group Leadership class taught by Mike on Sunday mornings in February. Everyone present agreed that one on one accountability and discipleship in groups of three are more important for us than the classes or the groups of 12.

Evangelism:
Dare2Share, Basketball, ..... this is secondary

Announcements:
A proposal was made to change the way we do announcements. Only a few people read them on the screen before or after the service. Posting them in the back is marginally better. Few people pick up a paper copy. Mike and Dan to discuss.

Finances:
No discussion of church finances today but given the move to Discipleship, I will be offering a class for personal finances for those that are interested. The introduction to that class will be held at our home on Sunday, February 25th at 5:30 PM. The class will be five weeks long and it will start on March 4th. I'd like to be finished by the end of April, but it is a self paced class.

Job Posting:
One of the goals of this team was to identify jobs that could make our ministry better and to better utilize some members that would like to contribute time and service but just don't know where to start. We have made some progress but still have a few roles to fill:

• Maintaining a list of small repairs around the building ( Looking for Staff Position )
• Mercy administrator ( need volunteer )
• Maintain a rack of pamphlets in the bookstore (see Mike if you are interested)

Building: ( Looking for Paid Staff Position )
Windows remain the top priority. We also added a few new items to the bottom of the list.

• A few windows in rear of building at dangerous point of falling out (LCF suggested sliding windows with screens instead of crank windows or fixed windows)
• Need to repair drywall and paint in entry way.
• Plumber: Repair the outside faucet in the rear of the building
• Plumber: Repair the leaking faucet in the upstairs men's restroom
• Plumber: Repair baptistry heater ( water heater or jacuzzi heater instead of current system)
• HVAC ( Install air return for the sanctuary, ventilation for sound room for equipment, workers and most importantly the thermostat )
• Install New Lighting: Sanctuary and foyer
• Remove brick mail box - replace with a normal mailbox in one of the community's cluster of mail boxes. Safer for drivers pulling out of driveway, elimination of an eye-sore. (need volunteer)
• Need to rebuild shed or tear it down ( need communication with users and neighbors )
• Need to replace ceiling tiles in basement
• Need to replace many fluorescent lights throughout the building
  
• Finish mudding and painting in the CAT Closet
• Install cabinets and counter tops in the youth room
• Minor carpentry finish work in the youth room
  

Youth: ( Matt )
Preparing for Dare2Share. Praying about a separate Middle School ministry for multiple reasons. Michael Harrington has talked with our city councilman about the basketball goal. All of us agreed that the next step would be to talk with the TBNA. Matt also has a few other basketball ideas before there is a court on the property. Praying for mentors for the youth.

New cleaning schedule for 2007

Now that we have nearly got the building organized ( only a few storage details to close on now) into shape and are able to move to the steady state of weekly cleaning, Kara has asked for an adjustment to her schedule.

I have cleared Thursday and Friday afternoons on a regular basis with Jackie and posted them to the church building calender: Regular Building Use Calendar

For special (non-regular) use of the building, please contact Jackie Eby directly so she can coordinate any changes in the building schedule
