MINISTER’S ANNUAL REPORT 2011
As I prepared this annual report I looked back at the goals I had set for myself in 2011. The Pastoral Relations Committee had asked me to submit them during my evaluation last year. I listed four goals at that time. The first was to continue to work on our Capital Campaign with our committee to ensure that the campaign finish as successfully as it started. The second was to establish a new Adult Education Program. The third was to restart our Planned Giving Program, and the fourth was to find ways to keep my ministry fresh and vital after four decades of ministry.I think I was successful in three of the four goals I set for myself. Although we are still looking to add to the pledges for our Capital Campaign (primarily through grants), I think we all can feel good about the work we did in 2011. I also have been pleased with the Thursday night study group that has been started at our church. Last year we read Peter Gome's book, The Good Book, and this year we are reading the gospel of Luke together. As far as continuing to keep my ministry fresh and vital, I still find my ministry at our church to be challenging and exciting. The discipline of preaching, my committee work, and my relationship with all of you continue to enrich my life. I am not just saying this, and my wife Marcia will attest to this because I say this all the time; I do feel very fortunate to be your minister. Finally, I didn't restart our Planned Giving Program in 2011. After making that one of my goals for 2011, I decided that we should complete our capital campaign before bringing that program back to life.When I reflect on our church year in 2011 I also am pleased with what has happened here over the last twelve months. Of course the biggest event was replacing our steeple. As I said on our dedication Sunday, people for generations to come will look upon this effort as one of the most significant moments in our church's history. And who can forget last winter when our furnace died. We worshipped one Sunday over at St. Phillips and then in fellowship hall. Then we found a way to heat our sanctuary with a temporary heater which enabled us to return there to worship. It was all very inconvenient but in a vicarious way I think we all enjoyed “making due” under these less than ideal circumstances.Another exciting aspect of our church in 2011 was the growth of our church school. We have struggled in the past to attract young families with their children, but this year we built on 2010 and saw even more younger families come to our church. The children have certainly added to the spirit of our congregation. I think one of the high moments for our children as well as we adults was the wonderful Christmas Pageant we all enjoyed on Christmas Sunday. Many said they thought it was the best pageant ever. We certainly face challenges as we move into 2012. Having mentioned planned giving in my first paragraph, I would return to it now to say that we need to remind everyone to think of our church in their estate planning. Our endowment, although considerable, has3.declined in recent years. This is a result of the difficult financial times in our country, but also because we still use more of our endowment for our operating expenses than is prudent. The good news this year is that because our trustees managed our budget so well, we did not spend approximately $12,000 of our 2011 budget. This combined with strong financial support from our congregation left us with a deficit of only $5000.More good news is that next year our pledging total will exceed the pledging totals from 2011, which may erase our deficit entirely. However we do need to remember that even when our budget balances, it does so because of people in our past wholooked to the future and left our church monies for our ministries and programs. In sum we need to be as responsible as they were.Another challenge for this year is already underway. Our Church in Society committee will be working with our Church Council to develop a diversity statement for our church. There will be meetings and discussions relating to the topic of “what does it mean to be an inclusive church.” This process will give us all an opportunity to talk about our faith and what it means to be a Christian in these secular times. A new committee called our Committee I Future will also be working to help us define who we are and where we are going as a faith community.Last but certainly not least I want to thank you all for the work you do in the life of this congregation. We are a church of the laity and I am reminded of this every week when I come to church and see all the activity on Sunday morning. Our staff is small, but I also want to say thank you to Tammy, Cheryl and Arthur for your tireless efforts and commitment to your ministries. Mary McKinney is our new church sexton, and I know already we are grateful to have her with us.Pam definitely deserves her own paragraph. I have worked with many administrative assistants and secretaries over the years, but none have brought more to the position than Pam does. Most people know she does the bulletin and Chimes, but don’t know all the “Second mile” tasks she performs. Whether it be keeping our bulletin board updated or setting up tables for the organ society or assisting those who call our office for help, she is always faithful to her work. I personally thank her for her friendship and support.The spirit of God is alive and well at our church. I can’t believe I will complete my ninth year with you this summer, but I do look forward to new surprises and ways that God will be working in our midst in the year ahead. Let’s all look forward in eager anticipation.Faithfully yours,                                                                   John

TRUSTEESANNUAL REPORT 2011
2011 was a busy and challenging year for the Trustees as we began to fund the capital improvements to the church. The first challenge presented itself in February when the sanctuary furnace quit and we were forced to put replacing it at top of our priority list.   Many thanks go to Charlie Howe who arranged for the free loan of a bullet heater to use temporarily and to Steve Hatt who solicited the bids for a replacement furnace. We were able to purchase an energy-efficient furnace for $15,000 which is what had been allocated in the capital campaign budget. Unfortunately, we had to spend an additional $1359 for a chimney liner to bring it up to code. As pledges to the capital campaign will be coming in over a three year period and our capital campaign expenses were occurring this year, it was a challenge to fund those projects in the most cost-efficient manner. Since the cash in the endowment was earning an infinitesimal amount of interest, we voted to borrow $50,000 from the endowment which will be paid back as soon as possible. By doing this, we were able to postpone using the line of credit we have at The First which, of course, would have cost us interest. We have a new roof on the sanctuary which was completed right on budget and three sides of the church were painted under budget (thanks to church members Jon and Mary McKinney of Wicked Jewel Painting.) We were finally able to install the new steeple in October nearly five months behind schedule.   There were several reasons for this: more preparation work was needed than expected, the engineers here who were designing the base were having difficulty communicating with the company manufacturing the steeple in Texas and when that was finally resolved, the extremely hot weather in Texas made it impossible to cool the factory enough to allow the polymers to set up properly. By the time George Burgess, our steeplejack had secured and waterproofed the steeple and belfry area, it was too damp and late in the season to paint the front of the church this fall. It will be completed early next spring. George has agreed to accept the remainder of his payment for the steeple as well as payment for the painting next spring in installments over time and interest-free. This will limit the interest expense incurred by using the line of credit.The only remaining major capital campaign project is the replacement of the front steps and we agreed to postpone that at least until next spring as we wait to see what additional funds can be raised by grants and pledges to the capital campaign. $42,000 was allocated for that in the capital campaign but we feel confident that it can be done for far less.I want to thank all the members of the trustees for their support and wise counsel this year. I could not have done it without you!
Respectfully submitted,                              Anne Harris, Chair                                               Committee members: George Roth, Lillian Pease, Steve Hatt, Paul Dodson, Ted Tracy, Newt Blakesley and “clerk of the works” Charlie Howe

DiaconateAnnual Report 2011As many of you already know, the Diaconate has initiated a new Coffee Hour plan to begin in January. We will have a Committee of the Month in charge of finding individuals to run the Coffee Hour (committees have already signed up). In addition, two new subcommittees of the Diaconate have been established, the Kitchen Committee, one that will assist the Committee of the Month as they learn how Coffee Hour is set up, and the Flower Committee, to plant and take care of the planters in front of the church. The flower arrangements that are a part of the worship service will remain the responsibility of the Diaconate. Our new Bibles are here, and if you wish have one designated in honor or in memory of a loved one, Pam will accept your donation. Over the course of the past year, we have discussed ways to increase our membership, and ideas that we have put into place include Bring a Friend to Church Sunday on the last Sunday of the month, having a light supper for new families, and encouraging groups from the community to use our church for meetings and activities. A new special service this coming year will be the White Gift Service, on January 8th, 2012, one that reminds us of the three Wise Men who came bearing gifts for the baby Jesus. Anyone who has questions about any of our new programs, or would like to offer suggestions or volunteer in any way, we would welcome you to contact a member of the Diaconate. Respectfully submitted,
Beth Whitney and Jan Whitfield

CHURCH IN SOCIETYANNUAL REPORT 2011
According to the Bylaws of our church “The Church in Society Committee shall be responsible for bringing before the congregation issues of peace, justice and other social concerns in the community and the world. It will be the church’s contact with CIS organizations of the wider church.” To fulfill this mission, the committee arranges for issues of interest or concern to be presented on a quarterly basis, during the worship service: either as an extended Mission Moment or as a sermon. The topics have been posted ahead of time, and our speakers have been able to provide us with materials and also to join us after church during our coffee hour to be available for any additional questions. Many of our speakers are representatives of the organizations that our congregation helps to support through Summerfest donations.Our speakers in 2011 included Gwen Cole - on behalf of “Miles and St Andrews Home Health & Hospice”. She visited our congregation in January and spoke to us about hospice. Ted Bradbury, representing “Bread for the World”, provided us with an extended Moment of Mission. Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. Twice a year Bread has member churches write letters to members of Congress on an issue that’s important to hungry and poor people. In June, Leslie Livingston spoke to our Congregation about the organization “Healthy Kids”. Healthy Kids is a community based family and professional network, offering support and educational outreach to families throughout Lincoln County. In 2011, Church in Society members provided our Congregation the opportunity in May and in October, to participate in The Bread for the World Offering of Letters. Bread’s Mission in 2011 was more effective foreign aid. Our church members sent over ninety letters to our congressional leaders urging them to reform our foreign aid policies to make them more effective in reducing hunger and poverty.Church in Society members also continue to provide Mission Moments for our church’s Neighbors in Need and One Great Hour of Sharing Campaigns.In 2012, CIS has planned to continue our speaker series. Our first speaker of 2012 will be Rev. Susan Craig, assistant Council Minister who will speak to us about CIS’ wider mission. We also plan to have an evening potluck in February with Dean Curran- former Ambassador to Haiti. CIS will also continue to offer opportunities to our congregation to participate in Bread for the World’s Offering of Letters. Respectfully submitted,

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COMMITTEEANNUAL REPORT 2011
In 2011, the Christian Education Programs have flourished with the leadership of Tammy Delaney as Coordinator, Cheryl Dilts as Children’s Choir Director and Ed Thelander starting the Youth Group for children in grades 5-8 this fall. Many new families are coming to our church and their participation adds greatly to the focus of learning God’s word and the love in Christian fellowship. With dedicated teachers and the commitment of parents, the Sunday school has increased enrollment and attendance. The children have been active in the church in many ways. Last winter, the curriculum focused on the stories in Genesis. The Palm Sunday breakfast was a great event with all the children helping with set-up and serving parishioners. The last Sunday of the year, the children put on skits for the congregation to guess what Bible story they were acting out. Lots of Fun! During Vacation Bible School (VBS), there was an average of 24 children each day. The theme was “Island Odyssey”. They traveled around the world to many islands to learn about the disciples travels to spread the word of Christ. In addition, each day there was an island in our times to learn about, such as Jamaica and Haiti. Our craft projects, snack and music reflected the richness of these cultures. The children brought money each day for offering and gave it to the Heiffer Project. This school year, the theme for the Sunday classes is Heroes in the Bible. On Communion Sunday, the children gather in the large room to learn about communion and they partake of communion, sing a song and pray. In their new blue robes, the children’s choir has performed many times. The hand bells are a great addition to the beautiful voices when they perform. The Christmas pageant was about children to today writing letter to Mary, Joseph, the angels, shepherds, wise men and Jesus to learn about how they experienced the coming and birth of Jesus. This fall, Ed Thelander met with parents of children in grades 5-8 and opened up his home for a cookout and get together. Many enjoyed swimming in the pond, kayaking and canoeing as well as delicious food. In addition, there was a sleep-over at church of 20 adults and children with a pizza dinner, films and in the morning, a pancake breakfast. In December, 17 children and 12 adults went to see the Portland Pirate’s Hockey game. It was a fun family event! Again this year, the children have been participating in activities that show them how they too are part of the church. The children hosted, “A Thankful Luncheon,” which earned over $200.00 to be used to repair the steeple. The children also chose to spend some of their offering collected each week to support Alexander Sands and purchase the items listed on 5 gift tags from the gift wish tree this Christmas. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Lewis, Chair

PASTORAL RELATIONS COMMITTEEANNUAL REPORT 2011
In the book of Galatians the Apostle Paul, sensing a danger that could destroy the church's faith, instructs churches to "Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith." (Galatians 6: 2, 10) "Through the ministry of a Pastoral Relations Committee, ways can be found to improve or maintain the relationship between the pastor and congregation to enhance their mutual ministry, to resolve unfruitful conflict, and to assist the church in its mission and ministry. It is in this manner that the church can care personally for its pastor." (Exerted from the pamphlet, The Pastoral Relations Committee, prepared by The Parish Life and Ministry Team, United Church of Christ) The Pastoral Relations Committee of the First Congregational Church of Wiscasset is a standing committee of the church that seeks to support and maintain an open and healthy relationship between our pastor, John Potter, and members of the congregation. The committee serves in two primary ways: as an advisory group to our pastor and as support for our pastor's leadership. As an advisory group the committee shares ideas, dreams, hopes, expectations, and concerns of the congregation with our pastor. As support for him, the committee interprets his pastoral roles, functions and needs to the congregation. Thus, it can be said that the Pastoral Relations Committee aids our church in following Paul's instructions. In the past year, the Pastoral Relations Committee met four times and engaged in open and honest dialogue with our pastor, John Potter, fulfilling the committee's purpose and commitment. Also, as requested by Church Council, we provided input to be taken under their consideration for his annual evaluation. At this time, we would like to recognize two members of the committee who have served their three-year terms most diligently and faithfully: Ken Sullivan and Linda Winterberg. It is with heartfelt thanks that we bid them farewell.
Respectfully Submitted, Sandi Ballard, Elizabeth Dodson, Chair, Sally Howe, Ken Sullivan, Linda Winterberg

Stewardship CommitteeAnnual Report 2011
This year the Stewardship Committee set goals to receive 100 pledges and to increase individual pledges, when able, to decrease the amount drawn from the endowment fund. Prior to Stewardship Sunday, November 20, four church members spoke to the congregation about what stewardship and the church means to them. On Stewardship Sunday, members of the congregation were invited to make their pledges. As of January 11th, we have received 92 pledges for a total of $125,009 pledged. We continue to collect pledges into the new year. The Stewardship Committee thanks Reverend Potter for his guidance and those individuals who addressed the congregation. We are grateful for the congregation's generosity especially in these economic times. Respectfully submitted, Zoë Bigley Dewey Harris Shirley Roth Doc Schilke Greg Shaw

MEN’S FELLOWSHIP GROUP
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
The men of the church continued to meet in 2011 on the third or fourth Tuesday of the month. Some of their programs that were enjoyed by the fellowship were: a presentation by Karl Olson on surveying, a movie about the plight of the Native Americans in Maine, a presentation by Bud Lewis regarding his trip to Ireland, a cook-out at the home of Brad Adler, a film on the life and ministry of the apostle Paul and a trip through Wiscasset with the Church Belles which focused on our towns “Haunted places.” The fellowship is always looking for new members and invites all men of our church to join for a brown bag lunch and program on the designated Tuesdays.

Organ Society/Church BellesAnnual Report 2011  Since the merging of the Organ Society and Church Belles, the combined group has been very active. The Wednesday morning contingent, who works on craft items for Summerfest, has grown from a low of six or seven to 14 on one recent Wednesday. Other activities of the combined group included a pizza night in January, Peter Varns’ cooking demo in February, a potluck recipe auction to benefit the Capital Campaign in April, a trip with Peter Varns to the new Trader Joe’s in Portland in May, and a crafts table at Summerfest in July. In September, 18 women had dinner at Le Garage; in October, we had a craft table at Oktoberfest and took a haunted history tour with the Red Cloak Lady. Wreath decorating was the big event in November and the cookie and craft sale took place in December. Funds raised by the Organ Society/Belles are donated to the church, to the capital campaign and other charities. All women of the church are members of the Organ Society/Church Belles and are invited to participate in the Wednesday morning meetings (you don’t even have to know how to knit) and the special activities usually on the fourth Wednesday of the month in the afternoon or evening. The Organ Society will celebrate its 190th anniversary in 2012. Help us make it special!
       Respectfully submitted,                                                                        Martha Speed

Summerfest 2011 Annual Report
Summerfest is our annual church fair, held on the Wiscasset Town Common, the fourth Saturday of July. As you know, it is a very special event in the life of our church, where church members come together to support local charities in various ways. This year was our 28^th annual event.Church members used their gifts and talents in one way or another to make the event a fun-filled affair. This year’s event raised $6600 to support 20 local charities. We culminated the event during our Mission Program Sunday, October 23, 2011 when we conducted our distribution of funds ceremony. I want to personally thank everyone involved in Summerfest for making this a great and successful event. It truly is one of the most rewarding events we conduct every year. I am very proud and honored to be part of it and look forward to Summerfest 2012. Respectfully, Steve Hatt Summerfest Chair, 2011

HISTORIC DOCUMENTS Annual Report 2011
Great strides were made during 2011 to organize and protect our church’s historic documents and articles. A permanent location for the storage of the items was determined. That location is the Parlor and it was chosen because it had the needed space, it was centrally located and the temperature/humidity was fairly constant. The space has been enclosed with folding doors forming a closet and the cabinets that had been located there have been moved to the hall side of the room between the two doors. Very little of the floor space in the parlor was lost and no storage space was lost.A special storage cabinet was purchased to house the historic items. The new storage cabinet is fire proof, water intrusion resistant and lockable. It will act as a safe for all of the church’s historic items. The cabinet was purchased with Memorial funds. We have also purchased some special preservation boxes and materials that will help protect the historic items from deterioration. Starting in January Joan Shea will be using these materials to wrap and store the historic items in the cabinet.It is hoped that the rest of the space in the new closet will be used to store documents and items that are modern but of the type we should keep forever. In other words, it should be the place we will store items that will be considered historic sometime in the future.If you have any comments or would like to be involved in the preservation of our historic items, please let us know.
Respectfully submitted, Historic Documents Committee, Doc Schilke & Joan Shea

Capital Campaign Committee Annual Report 2011
As of the start of January 2012, the congregation has pledged $235,000. We have a bright new steeple, a new roof, a new furnace and much of the outside has been painted. The new steeple is a very visible sign that “our” historic church building will be preserved for future generations to use and enjoy. There is much to celebrate but we are still short of the total that we had hoped to raise. The Capital Campaign Committee will continue working into the New Year. There are a few grants still possible and the Committee hopes to have answers on these within the first half of the year.We have received contributions of $15,000 from TD Bank and $5,000 from the Maine Conference, UCC. Approximately $7,000 has been received from or pledged by non-member groups and individuals. The following spreadsheet shows that we have had to dip into the Endowment funds to meet expenses. We have made use of the Line Of Credit for a few months and may use it again this year but at the end of 2011 we do not have an outstanding Line Of Credit debt. There is still more work to be done and more bills to pay including bills on the steeple.The Trustees are to be commended for diligently reviewing costs, projected overruns and being proactive in resolving project costs. The Capital Campaign Committee supports the Trustee decision to delay fixing the front steps if funds are not available.The Capital Campaign Committee welcomes any questions, concerns or input from the congregation. We also encourage those who are able, to fulfill their pledges early in the year to assist with cash flow problems.
Respectfully submitted by your Capital Campaign Committee:Doc Schilke & Shirley Roth (Co-Chairs), John Potter, Charlie Howe, Bud Lewis, Eleanor Tracy, Linda Winterberg, & George Roth

OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR
As always my first order of business is to thank the committee and group chairs for submitting their Annual Reports to me is such a timely manner. Using email to forward the reports has made this difficult task so much easier. Thank you! Another year has past with its normal ups and downs that life has. Loosing members of our church family is never easy. However, I choose to remember those who have passed in a positive way: Emilie Preyer struggled until her death with ill health but she always had time to talk and to remind you that life was good. I know that the high school misses her smiling face and eagerness to help the students. Joanna Bardo, how can anyone describe this marvelous woman? Although Joanna was often quiet she made her presences know with her quick wit and her little smile. She always volunteered to do kitchen duty and to open her beach cottage to the ladies for their last meeting. When I put the chairs out on Wednesday mornings I remember all the women who have sat in the same place for years. Joanna is one of those ladies I will never forget. Jim Brown, what can I say about a man who was quiet but so strong? His knowledge of computers surpassed all of us, especially me. He was my go to guy even when he was in California or Indiana. We had communication on the internet throughout the year and our messages were always full of fun and good advice for me. I remember his last message to me was that he was excited about returning to Westport the following week. I got that message when I returned to the office a few days after Jim’s death and I knew he would be coming home. Ron Tarbox another strong man who no matter what kept on going. He and Cora didn’t return to Westport last summer but they kept in touch with folks. Ron took a special interest in the cemeteries on Westport Island and I am certain that Cora has the perfect spot to rest Ron overlooking the ocean that he loved so much. All of these faces will be missed but it will be hard to remove the spirit of these folks from our church. Our joys have been great this year with the addition of several new families as well a baptisms and marriages. We are a great church that is welcoming and cares about our community. jchapter in the church’s history. I like to call this the year the “Year of the Steeple” and John led us through some tough decisions with the success evident in the new steeple being raised. I am continuously grateful to work with John and to support him in his mission to continue to make this the best church ever. I’m looking forward to another year. Newt continues as our treasurer and does the job well. We work together well and I hope the next year will continue. Our new addition, but not a new face, of Mary McKinney as our sexton was a really good idea, which is evident in the cleanliness of the church. Mary is working hard to get those spots clean that have been missed for years. It has been eight years since Barbara Sullivan started volunteering in the office for me. She takes on any job that I set before her, sometimes with a little help from Ken. Without Barbara the church would have to look at increasing my work hours. We, especially I, own her a great debt of gratitude for being the perfect volunteer. My personal life was very good last year and the beginning of the New Year is looking promising. I’m sure there will be challenges but that is what living is all about. Life is good! Thank you all for your continued support and the joy that you all give me. I look forward to starting my 14^th year of employment here with my church family.

With Love, Pam ♥
