Committees of the Session:

Building and Grounds: Pastor Montgomery and Elder Doug Williams reported on the current

plans for the roof repair. Several estimates have been reviewed by the committee. A more costly

repair ($60,000.00) would include removing the roof of the old portion of the building and

resloping the roof. After inspections and review the committee has determined a less costly repair

($20,175.00) of the existing leaks and fit and finish work is the most reasonable approach. It was

noted that every option for insurance reimbursement has been exhausted. Session has budgeted

$5000.00 to be held for any future repair work. A suggestion was made from the congregation

that the Session consider retaining $5000.00 every year for future roof repair.

Pastor’s 2017 Annual Report

When raising a family…just because no big dramatic events took place…doesn’t mean a lot of really

important things didn’t take place. If at the end of the year you can say everybody learned a few new

things, and everyone matured a little more, and everybody stayed healthy, and we all got along,

well…that is a good year. 2016 has been a good year for First Presbyterian Church of Cody Wyoming.

We have proven to be a community of people who truly want to practice the grace and peace of

Jesus Christ.

We have been blessed with the ongoing good work of our many long established ministries. And our

newer endeavors have continued to grow. We were also blessed with quiet surprises, starting with the

visit of Heidi, Tony and Jack Hercus this summer...followed by the surprising growth of the Veritas school

we host.

Perhaps most of all…our sense of ourselves as a family of faith has quietly grown. And that is a beautiful

thing. I see members supporting one another during times of trial. I see a strong prayer community. I

see a strong and capable staff that shares the faith and values of our community. I see mature believers

recognizing neighbors (both within and beyond the walls of the congregation) who are struggling, and I

see these mature believers coming alongside those who struggle, to quietly embody the grace of Christ.

I think of Jesus’s story about a fellow who was badly beaten and left along the road. A couple of really

religious folks saw him and walked right on by. But a Samaritan saw him and stopped to help in

significant ways. Jesus basically said the Samaritan fellow knew what it meant to be a good neighbor.

The religious folks…not so much.

In that sense, I see our congregation as good neighbors, and I value being a part of that. It makes me

want to live up to Jesus’s definition of what it means to be a good neighbor. 2017 marks my 20th year

with our congregation. I know it will be a great one. Keep it up.

One final note…I hesitate to bring it up because finances are only one part of what we are about here

…but it is important. In 2016 we did run a financial deficit of about $17,000. We were able to cash flow

it without tapping reserves, but obviously we can’t keep that up indefinitely. Committees and staff have

all worked hard to keep cost down, but in the future we will need to either further cut cost, or increase

income. I agree with the assessment of the Session and the Stewardship, Budget and Personnel

Committee that God has provided in the past and that God will continue to provide…yet each of us

needs to carefully consider our own giving to the congregation. Thanks.

Respectfully;

Pat Montgomery

2016 Annual Report

Tammy Scott

2016 was a pretty steady year for my part with the biggest change being my

title is now Ministries Director instead of Christian Education director. This

change was made to reflect more accurately my staff role in the Christian

Education committee, Congregational Life committee, Mission and

Evangelism Committee, Deacons and Nursery Supervisor.

To help keep things simple, I would direct you to the annual reports of the

above stated committees to see what has been happening in them. If you have

any questions about a class, event, etc., please feel free to contact either

myself, the elders on that committee or Kathy Wormald who is moderator of

Deacons; we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

This year, we were called upon by session to look within our committees

and see if there was need for change in the things were doing. Perhaps it was

time to stop offering a class or event because the need for it was just not what

it was and it was beginning to feel more like an obligation rather than a joy. It

was in the hopes of letting go of the way things used to be and looking for a

way to celebrate who we are right now that I have seen new life and energy

brought in to the work done this year. I know I have heard many wonderful

ideas and plans being made that I again, look forward to being a part of the

church family life this 2017 year.

At the end of every year, I am always amazed at, not only how fast the year

went by, but how well things worked out. That is due, in no small part, by the

faithful work and dedication of every elder, committee member and Deacon.

These wonderful people gladly own the duties and responsibilities of each

task given to them by their committees or session and I am humbled and

honored to be a part of such joyful service. Some of these committees are

looking for people to join in their work as people have moved from

committee member to elder and so find themselves a little short handed.

Please prayerfully consider being part of the joyous work of our church

family.

In His service,

Tammy Scott

Congregational Life Committee

Year End Report

Throughout 2016 the Congregational Life Committee worked hard to offer a variety of events, sometimes in conjunction with other committees, to promote a greater sense of community within our church family. Committee members were active elders Cathy Aardema and Chris Bingley, staff representative Tammy Scott, as well as Susan Cory, Gayle Cory, and Vieune Revolinski.

The committee’s primary role was to plan and prepare a variety of meals offered prior to the weekly Wednesday Night classes. On average between 45-50 meals were served per week to both church members and non-members attending classes as well as individuals identified by the Board of Deacons as home bound. The committee would not have been successful in this endeavor without the assistance of the many individuals who volunteered to cook, serve, or lead the cleanup effort. Whether a person was only able to volunteer periodically or was there on a consistent basis, their efforts did not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

In addition to the Wednesday evening meals, the Congregational Life Committee planned and organized a variety of monthly social activities to encourage new and exciting ways to build and strengthen friendships within our congregation. In 2016 these activities included:

January: a cross country ski trip to Pahaska February: a “Souper Bowl” party on Super Bowl Sunday which also raised funds for the

Cody Cupboard March: a movie night April: the Mystery Dinner Theater presentation of “The Great Cupcake Caper” June: a meet and greet potluck to welcome intern Heidi Hercus July: an ice cream social August: a Luau September: the annual church picnic, complete with dance lessons October: Bunco and pizza night November : a “Joy Feast” to celebrate the conclusion of the 2017 Stewardship Drive December: a New Year’s Eve party

While some of these events were well attended while others had a lower participation rate, the Congregational Life Committee received consistent feedback that the activities were fun and met their intended purpose to promote a greater sense of connectivity within the church.

19

Some of the smaller tasks undertaken by the Congregational Life Committee include the organization of the Fellowship schedule, which was coordinated in 2016 by Gayle Cory, providing cakes or light snacks for other events, and ordering and maintaining kitchen supplies for communal use.

2016 was a great year for the Congregational Life Committee and we look forward to serving our congregation in 2017 in whatever way God lead us.

Evangelism and Mission Annual Report, 2016 Committee Members: Pat Montgomery/Tammy Scott-Staff Paula Dimler, Elder/Moderator Sarah Thomas, Elder/Co-Moderator Quincy Sondeno Otto Phillips Connie Fisher Greg Dimler The E&M committee is responsible for the development and promotion of local and worldwide mission programs. The committee is also responsible for evangelism to the community. We work closely with the Board of Deacons to provide for the needs of the poor in our community. The committee contributes financially to a number of organizations and individuals. This year we have donated funds to the following programs: Food 4 Kids, Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), ALPHA Marriage, Boys and Girls Club, and Spirit Mountain Hospice. Internationally we supported the Worldwide Mission for Syrian Refugees. The E&M committee also offers opportunities for our church members to help others in the congregation and the community through several hands-on missions. The Handy Man Mission and Move in mission support people with some of the everyday chores that they may require help to complete. We continue to support the Jubilee Mission with their building and ground improvements. Food 4 Kids involves many members of our congregation, and volunteers from throughout our community offer their help in a variety of ways. The program has expanded to include 174 school age children, who receive food over the weekend. The E&M committee also garners monies from our budget to pay for advertisements via newspaper or radio to get the word out about community outreach programs that take place throughout the year. Our total budget for 2016 was 12,250. We consider the work of our committee a vital part of the greater church and thank the committee and the congregation for all of their support.

STEWARDSHIP, BUDGET and PERSONNEL

2016 Annual Report

Elder, Tyler Henry Dennis Graham

Elder, Ole Sondeno Mary Reed

Konnie Haman Dave Shultz

Church Staff: Pat Montgomery, Pastor and Head of Staff

Rae Eckley, Administrative Assistant and Financial Secretary

Tammy Scott, CE Director and Nursery Supervisor

Wade Brown, Treasurer

Roy Bruce, Custodian

Darla Bruce, Custodian

Jonene Geile, Music Director

Wendy Corr, Worship Leader

Tim Schoessler, Pianist and Organist

The committee handles all personnel matters for the church. In this respect, we hired Wade

Brown this year as our Treasurer to replace Denise Rigby who voluntarily resigned as she felt she

couldn’t dedicate the time required of the position. No other staff changes have occurred in 2016; our

congregation is fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented staff! Thank you to all of the staff for

the extraordinary work each of you do.

The committee also reviews and approves the monthly financial reports. Bills are paid on a

weekly basis as the Treasurer’s schedule allows. Payroll was converted to a twice monthly schedule for

all staff in order to increase efficiency and standardization across all positions. The committee heads the

stewardship drive, which will become a more continual process rather than a once‐a‐year‐event. We

also propose the annual budget to Session, which then goes to the Congregation for acceptance.

The 2016 budget, as revised on February 15, 2016, projected income of $300,000.00 and

expenses of $379,913.84, thus predicting that we would use $79,913.84 of reserves. For the year ended

December 31, 2016, our income was $313,425.07 and our expenses were $328,938.60, leaving a final

deficit of $15,513.53. Our total assets as of December 31, 2016, were $376,931.83. Our reserve

account of $226,662.20 was not touched; however, our cash balance held at a local bank declined

during the year to cover our deficit spending. Our committees have continued to be excellent stewards

of the money entrusted to them, especially during these difficult financial times.

22

The 2016 budget predicts income from pledges of only $200,000, based on those received as of

December 8, 2016, ($184,124.00) and our best estimate of unpledged amounts making up the

remainder of our budgeted 2017 income of $300,000. The total dollar amount of pledged income is

down again this year, continuing the unfortunate trend of decreasing pledged income year‐upon‐year.

Pledged income for 2014 was $272,982, for 2015 was $249,796 and for 2017 was $230,000:

The total budgeted expenses for 2017 are predicted to be $337,023.95. We are budgeting that we will

spend $33,588.95 more than we receive in income, with some of the deficit being paid from various

savings and investment accounts, with the remainder coming from our general reserves. While this

committee and all the others work diligently to trim budgets every year, the reality is that without an

increase in giving, our congregation will have to take a closer look at what may be considered drastic

changes to our expenses in order to remain a financially healthy congregation. Our current budget

deficit, and those of years’ past, are not sustainable moving forward. It was with much concern that our

committee submitted yet another deficit budget for 2017 to the Session.

Amid the difficult news of declining pledged income and continued deficit budgets, God has

taken care of our congregation through the most‐recent denominational storms and we give Him thanks

and praise for all He does. We also encourage each and every one of you to seek out God’s guidance as

we move forward, together, as one family with Jesus as our leader. If you have not made a pledge for

2017, it is not too late. Please fill‐out a pledge card and simply return it to the church office.

Thank you to the committee and staff for their continued hard work.

In His name,

Tyler Henry, Elder

Ole Sondeno, Elder

2016 Worship Committee Annual Report

The 2016 Worship Committee members were: Joan Quick, Elder Moderator, Phil Farman, Elder, Kay Soulek, Vieune Revolinski and Jack Eckley. The committee had the pleasure to work with and coordinate efforts with Pastor Pat Montgomery, Jonene Geile and Wendy Corr to provide meaningful worship to an average Sunday attendance of 120 congregants. Children’s time was provided for the youth in our congregation by the wonderful group of Deb Clow, Judith Spargur, Roger Kearns, Jim McNeil, and Roy Holm. Stacey Skoric, and Karen Anderson were busy keeping the children content during service. A big thank you goes out to all of those that, through the year, covered the pulpit when Pat would take a well deserved vacation. The goal of this committee is to facilitate worship services for our members in a way that provides a variety of styles of worship and music to satisfy a dichotomous group of individuals ranging from young to old, male and female. An effort is made to keep traditional worship; but also to include some contemporary style. Work began early in the year to arrange an internship for Heidi Hercus from Scotland. Heidi and her family arrived the middle of June and stayed into August. Her gifts were felt by members of First Presbyterian Church in many aspects; but her contribution to worship was instrumental during the summer months. The Easter season was celebrated beginning with Lent. Holy Week services were held followed by Easter sunrise service and worship on Easter Sunday. Clouds made an appearance in our sanctuary this year thanks to the artistic gifts of Erik Kinkade and Coletta Kewitt along with the work of many others to install. The Christmas celebration began with Advent on December 27 and continuing through Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25. A candlelight service was held at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 24th. It has been a pleasure for the members of this committee to serve the congregants here at First Presbyterian Church – Cody. Respectfully submitted, Joan E. Quick Elder Moderator

For other nominees it was the right time and fit for them to undertake these important roles.

BOARD OF DEACONS – ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CONGREGATI0N -2016 *Dave Bensink, Hugh Currah, Amy Eckert, Joy Hall, Mary McDonald, Janalyn Shultz, *Karen Snyder,* Della Stevens, & Kathy Wormald – Welcoming: Deb Clow, Virginia Donnelly, & Quincy Sondeno for 2017 *Outgoing Deacons In 2016 the Deacons provided the following services to the congregation and community: We arranged for servers, prepared the elements, and coordinated monthly church communion. We assisted Pat with Outreach Communion once a month at Brookside Assisted Living and WPH Long Term Care Center by providing servers and gatherers. We reported the information to the clerk Special services – We coordinated several funeral luncheons, & celebrations of life by preparing, & serving lunch, coffee & cookies. We assisted the families when needed with planning and preparation for those fellowship times We offered & provided rides to church for those who were unable to drive themselves. In April we provided meals for the Volunteer Medical Clinic Staff (8-10 adults) we prepared, delivered the meal each Thursday for the month. We prayed with the staff as they began their weekly work with patients. The Card Ministry sent out anywhere from 40 - 50 cards a month - birthday, get well, sympathy & encouragement for a total of about 500. Assistant requests - we had over 70 financial assistance which were reviewed, and voted upon - we screened those applicants and investigated to determine whether we could help - we have limited our help to only rent & utilities rather than $ for cell phones or hospital expenses etc. This year because of budget constraints we have also limited the amount we provide to any one applicant to $400. The money never went to the applicant but to the utility company or a rental agency or landlord. The total allocated for financial assistance was slightly under $12,000. We worked closely with Christ Episcopal Church & St. Antony’s Catholic Church to help where we could. We collected and delivered food monthly to the Cody Cupboard – 300-400 lbs.

26

We organized food for complete Thanksgiving Dinners for 20 needy Cody families and delivered them to the DFS office. The Cody Lions Club ordered and donated the 20 turkeys for this project. Our congregation provided the rest We delivered chuck wagon meals for those who requested meals after and illness or surgery and some on a regular basis for those in need.

2016 Report of Presbyterian Women

The purpose of Presbyterian Women (P.W.) is to nurture our faith through prayer, Bible study and the

support of missions both locally and world wide. We work for justice and peace, and endeavor to build an

inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens our church and witnesses to the promise of God’s

kingdom.

Our nineteen members meet once a month on Wednesday afternoon for Bible study and fellowship. We

also have social meetings throughout the year and invite other members of our congregation to join us. We

enjoy our February Love Fest, a Birthday brunch in May, summer picnic, our October Welcome Back

luncheon and a Christmas party.

During 2016 we provided a meal for the Wednesday evening program, assisted with meals at Camp Wapiti,

hosted a birthday party in February for residents at the Long Term Care facility, and participated in the

World Day of Prayer.

Members of P.W. meet an additional time during the month to work on craft items to sell at our annual

Cookies and More held the first Saturday in November. We offer for sale numerous craft items, Christmas

decorations, plus bakery items, pies and frozen home made soup. We encourage those attending to enjoy a

complimentary beverage and cookies while they shop and visit with friends and family. In the Spring of

2016 the P.W. ladies planned and organized a garage sale in Buswell Hall accepting donations from many

congregational members. The profits from these two events, in addition to the offerings donated at our

meetings are used to fund our scholarships and support both local and world wide missions.

In 2016 the Presbyterian Women provided a college student with a scholarship of $750. And provided

financial assistance for a high school student to attend a summer mission endeavor. This year’s local

missions donation of $2200 included the Cody Cupboard, Cody School district, the Council on Aging,

Crisis Intervention Services, Food 4 Kids, Jubilee Inner Town Ministries, the Park County Library’s

Summer Reading Program and the Long Term Care Center. We also supported our church by providing 50

copies each quarter of “These Days” devotional booklets.

Our non-local missions giving totaled $1522. which included support of the Presbytery World Wide

Mission, World Vision (supporting aid to sexually exploited individuals), and the Healthy Women, Healthy

Families Program of the PC(USA) which funds fistula surgeries for women in impoverished areas.

Presbyterian Women are an important and dynamic component of the First Presbyterian Church Cody.

Mission Statement

of the First Presbyterian Church

Cody, Wyoming February, 2013

Jesus said, (Matthew 28:18-20) “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Remember, I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” In response to this charge, and aware that all that we have, all that we are, all that is good comes from God, we, the Family of First Presbyterian Church of Cody, Wyoming commit to do the following… We will live in grateful response to God’s goodness. We will live to serve God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We will respect, honor, and be good stewards of God’s creation. We will tell the story of Jesus, because he saves us. We will seek and teach God’s truth in Scripture, for it is God’s Word. We will share grace, because in Him, we receive grace. We will seek the Spirit’s guidance, because our own ways lead to destruction. We will be humble, for we are not perfect, but God is. We will pray and care for one another, for by ourselves we are lost. We will strive to see the image of God when we look at ourselves and others. We will recall Jesus’ special love for the lost, the weary, the hungry, the homeless, the prisoner, and the outcast, and We will take every opportunity to share that love.
