39 | Presbytery of Southern Kansas – Stated Meeting May 9, 2017 Camping Report – Jeremiah Lange

Documents for the Westminster Woods Camp transition were not available in time for this meeting but

will hopefully be available to the Presbytery Coordinating Team this summer for review prior to the

August Presbytery meeting.

WMW is preparing for PSK summer camps.

Lagoon work at the camp continues with developing a “wetland” area.

New “bobcat” utility vehicle was purchased.

A new seasonal dining area is being built. The deck on the back of the existing dining hall is being

expanded 28 ft. to provide more covered, weather permitting, camper dining area.

New gathering areas, and gazebos have been added and the memorial garden has been expanded.

Camp enrollment is good so far. The camp is already experiencing a high number of High School girl

campers. If you know of a High School girl wanting to attend camp, please have her call the office about

registration immediately. Enrollment of High School boys is not large so you might encourage High

School age boys to register.

Westminster Woods Financial Reports. (See Appendix C)

Presbytery Coordinating Team – Denise Pass INFORMATION:

Rev. Mark Miller (First, Hutchinson) was welcomed to PCT as the Governance Team chair.

PCT has requested that a report of attendance of ministers and churches be prepared for presbytery

information.

Continue to work with the Camp Task Force to review the process and documents to determine the

future of Westminster Woods Camp.

Rev. Denise D. Pass will be on sabbatical this summer. In her absence, PSK Moderator Steve McSpadden

will moderate the Presbytery Coordinating Team. Next meeting is May 23, 9:30am at PSK offices.

Pending action by the congregation of First Presbyterian, Larned, recommend the reduction in staff from

a full-time pastor to a part-time

PCT requests each Ministry Team review their “chunk” of the Manual of Operations and rewrite that

material to include: a. a description of the committee, b. it’s accountability and c. its responsibilities.

A motion prevailed that PSK define “quorum” for the ministry teams of the presbytery to be 50 percent

plus one of the membership of the committee, (not the total size of the committee).

Stated Clerk Report – Jim Anderson INFORMATION: At the Synod of Mid-America, stated clerks review of presbytery minutes for 2016, our minutes were received with exceptions. One exception that was noted was that when we declare a quorum present at the PSK meetings, we are to include a statement defining what constitutes a quorum. Thus at each meeting we will include the following highlighted statement taken from our Corporate Bylaws:

40 | Presbytery of Southern Kansas – Stated Meeting May 9, 2017 Quorum: The roll shall be taken at each meeting of the Presbytery by the Stated Clerk immediately following the opening prayer. The quorum of a Stated or Called (Special) Meeting of the Presbytery shall be ten percent of the eligible teaching elders and ruling elder commissioners provided that at 39 least three teaching elders are present and three different churches are represented by duly elected ruling elder commissioners. (G-3.0304) (pp 11-12, Feb. 2013) A further exception we were granted was that we did not show in our minutes that our Committee on Representation had met during 2016. Another was the lack of a presbytery statistical report for 2015. These exceptions were noted and it is our intention to correct them. On April 3-5, 2017, Jim Anderson was in attendance at the New Stated Clerks’ Orientation in Louisville. He found this event to be very helpful in the on-going tasks of the Stated Clerk. ACTION: In our meeting today, we will present the 2016 Proposed Amendments to the Book of Order for our vote as a Presbytery. A sheet from General Assembly is included in our packet. The Presbytery Coordinating Team recommends a positive vote on each with a minority comment which I will share. We will be voting on each of the proposed amendments in turn. Proposed Constitutional amendments from the 222nd General Assembly (2016) MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-A; (amendment to G-3.0106) Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-B; (amendment to G-3.0109) Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve the following Constitutional Amendments by considering all amendments in one vote: 16-C.1 (amending F-3.0202); 16-C2 (amending G-2.0102); 16-C3 (amending G.20301); 16-C4 (amending G-2.05 and G-2.0301); 16-C5 (amending G-2.0701); 16-C6 (amending G-0307) 16-C7 (amending the Directory for Worship and the Rules of Discipline); 16-C8 (amending W-4.4001a. Minority Opinion written by Mary Dusenbury regarding proposed Constitutional Amendment 16-C.7 was provided: The proposed term “commissioned pastor” is confusing. The general public, both within and without the church, often use the simple term ‘pastor’ to refer to ordained clergy. The adjective “commissioned” does nothing to modify the term except, perhaps, to Presbyterian Church administrators. The Old term “commissioned lay pastor” has more clarity. It both reflects the “important pastoral ministry of our commissioned ruling elders” (16-C, p.3) and clearly distinguishes them from ordained clergy (ministers of word and sacrament). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-D1 (amending G-2.0509) and 16-D2 (amending D-10.0401). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved.

41| Presbytery of Southern Kansas – Stated Meeting May 9, 2017 MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-E (amending G-2.1101). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-F (amending G-1.0304). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-G (amending W-2.4011a and W 2.4011b). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved. MOTION to approve Constitutional Amendment 16-H (replacing current Directory for Worship with a new directory). Moderator called for discussion. The motion was approved.

As of 4/16/2017, 73% of our churches have furnished the information that was requested in January. Trustees confirmed by consensus that the 2017 insurance report listing will be presented to the Presbytery. h. Turnover of the Neodesha facility: Ken Coryell spoke with Jon Prange, Insurance Board our local agent and he approved of letting Ron Cashman use the facility prior to closing on the sale. RATIONALE: During the signing of the contract Ron mentioned that there is a group that wants to start worship in the facility. However, the facility needs to have some cleaning. Additionally, Ron needs to get the water turned on and the gas turned on for the water heater. One of the early activities that Ron is planning is a city wide welcome/open house. Ron asked if it was okay if he put up a sign in front signage area to state “Coming Soon ~ Heartland Christian Chaplain Ministry. Request approved. Just as the Presbytery did with Calvary when the new congregation was eager to start worship, the Presbytery should encourage their initiative which is aligned with the recent guidance from the Coordinating Team. TRUSTEE ACTION: The following motion was approved by consensus: Move that Officer/Chaplain Ron Cashman, Heartland Christian Chaplain Ministry be authorized to use the Neodesha facility at no cost until the deed is signed. The Presbytery will pay all electric charges until the deed is signed. The facility will be covered by the Presbytery insurance policy with the Insurance Board. 2. PRESBYTERY ACTION: a.

Ernie Hull and Ken Coryell cleaned up the fallen ceiling tile. STATUS UPDATE: The City of Neodesha initially considered the facility for use as a city building. On 3/24/2017, Ed Truelove, City Administrator notified Ken Coryell that the City declined to purchase the facility and plan to renovate another building downtown.

c. . Presbyterian Mission Mortgage Grants ~ “From the November 15, 2016 Presbytery meeting minutes: Loan/Grant status: As briefed on the previous meeting of Presbytery, the seven loan/ grants issued by the Mission Board are still being investigated to confirm their status. The Presbyterian Investment & Loan (PILP) program loan/grant board has not provided status. The status of the loan/grants will be reported at a later Presbytery meeting. The following is from the Aug 3, 2016 Presbytery meeting minutes: “The motion to RESCIND the Presbytery May 10, 2016 motion to link the Northminster balance with New Covenant was tabled by the moderator until all actions concerning the loan/grant program have been resolved.” A letter to the Presbyterian Loan/grant Chief Executive Office was signed by Mike Kuner on Feb 6, 2017 that stated in part that no further action would be taken to resolve the location of lost mortgages since the Kansas statutes now state

56| Presbytery of Southern Kansas – Stated Meeting May 9, 2017 that mortgages dated before 1919 are void unless an affidavit certifying the mortgage validity has been filed. No such affidavit has been filed. In any case, the mortgage/grants are not due unless the church closes or leaves PCUSA. The following mortgage/grants are listed by PILP: 1. Zenith – in the amount of $500

2. Hutchinson– Northminster PC in the amount of $6,500 3. Wichita, Westwood– in the amount of $25,000 4. Wichita, Trinity - in the amount of $5,000 5. Hutchinson, KS – Forest Park PC in the amount of $24,613 (No record found by County Clerk) 6. Sterling, KS – Sterling PC in the amount of $4,080.86 (No record found by County Clerk) 7. Viola, KS – Viola PC in the amount of $7,165.91 ($4,000 record found by County Clerk)

MOTION: The following motion was unanimously approved by the Trustees in attendance: Move that no further action be taken by the Presbytery to locate the lost mortgage/grant records and that a review of the loan/grant status be done for any church that plans to sell property, close or leave PCUSA.

Appendix E Statement of Faith

Melissa Ann Krabbe

My faith is the foundation of my life, and the lens through which I see the world. At the center is my trust in our triune God. God is sovereign over all things, and does not change. I am thankful for the assurance that God’s mercy is new every morning, that God’s steadfast love endures forever, and that our Lord is slow to anger and always righteous. As Moses found when he asked God to “show me your glory,” God’s glory is goodness, and that goodness, which is revealed in God’s Word and works, brings us life. Our Creator's great goodness and love for us is most evident through the sacrifice of Jesus, God's only son. God is righteous and just, which puts us at odds with God because although we are made in the image of God, we are also sinful and fall short of that image. God’s plan of reconciliation is realized in Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. Christ is the Word made flesh. He became fully human while still being fully divine in order to reveal God to us and to accomplish our salvation through his death and resurrection. By grace through faith in Christ, we are reconciled with God. By his life and death, Christ showed us the great depth of God’s love for us, and the breadth of God’s righteousness and mercy. Jesus is the foundation and completion of our faith, and by this faith we find the full life and joy which God intends for us, including spending eternity with God. God’s work in us is accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead. The Spirit is the counselor, teacher and comforter that Jesus promised. The Holy Spirit draws us to God and guides us in our seeking. The Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t know how to pray. Through the work of the Holy Spirit we grow to understand God’s great love for us, and it is the Holy Spirit that enables us to share that love with others. Although we can have a relationship with God in Christ that is personal and individual, we cannot fully realize God’s plan by ourselves. Learning to be all that God made us to be requires that we also join with others, to encourage one another, to be accountable to one another, and to love one another. This life lived in community is the church, of which Christ is the head. Together we live out God’s commandments, including Jesus’ command to celebrate the Lord’s Supper and baptism. As we commune together, we are coming to Christ and renewing our commitment to follow him, and we are a testament to the work of the Holy Spirit in us, binding us together as one body. In baptism, the Holy Spirit binds us to our Creator. Baptism signifies our inclusion in God’s grace and our adoption as his children. Together as the church we seek God, grow in our understanding and love of God through study of his inspired Word, and endeavor to glorify and enjoy God as we also work to be God’s ambassadors to the world around us, so that others might also be reconciled in Christ and know God’s incredible love forever.


Appendix F Statement of Faith

Caitlin V. Hendrix

I believe in the Holy Trinity. The Trinity is one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The love

expressed by the members of the Trinity serves as a model for human relationship. God is love. Out of God’s

love, God moves toward relationship with creation and interacts with humanity.

I believe that God is experienced every day. People experience God in myriad ways including worship, service,

Scripture, in homes, in friendships, and in community. God is experienced in suffering, illness, trauma, mental

illness, and in death. God is also experienced in the loving and present response of human beings caring for one

another in the midst of chaos and daily life.

We are created in the image of God and deemed good by God. Humans experience brokenness and sin in

relationship with God, the world, and one another. Unable to restore the intended unity by our own power, God

enters into the human condition and restores it to wholeness through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus, fully human and fully divine, entered into and lived the human experience. In his life, teachings, death, and

resurrection, Jesus conquered humanity’s estrangement from God. Through God’s grace, God assures believers of

life eternal.

The Spirit sanctifies, guides, and enlivens the faith of all believers. The Spirit is also present in the proclamation

and hearing of the Word of God, the gathering at the Lord’s table, and in the waters of baptism. The same Spirit

that inspired the prophets moves within and sanctifies all of God’s people.

Jesus is the head of the church and believers are members of the body of the church. The church is a priesthood

of all believers who respond to God’s call to holiness and service, proclaim the good news of Jesus, and work to

bring about the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

The Bible is the Holy Word of God. Through the work and movement of the Spirit, the scriptures are a testament

of God’s presence and activity within creation. The Bible instructs, guides, encourages, and inspires believers.

We observe two sacraments in the Church: the Lord’s Supper and Baptism. When we partake in the Lord’s

Supper, we are participating in the promise of the new life found in Jesus. When we eat the bread and drink the

juice, we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are sustained on the journey, and also look toward his

return. In Baptism, we respond to God’s gift of grace with God’s gift of faith. In the waters of baptism, a believer

is restored in relationship with God. Baptism also serves as the entrance into the Church as a whole, as well as a

particular church. During baptism, the congregation acknowledges and commits to teaching, guiding, and

supporting the individual being baptized. Participants are reminded of their own baptism and our call to holiness

as individuals and as a community.
