Moderator’s Report
It truly has been my
privilege to serve as the moderator of our Eastern Valley Baptist Association
this past year. I must admit that when I
accepted my name to be nominated two years ago, I had set for a goal to contact
every church in the Association. Unfortunately, I was unable to do so for a
number of reasons. I had intended to
find out why so many of our churches choose to disconnect themselves from their
sister churches in the Association. I feel we have so much to contribute to
each other’s lives and ministry together as a family than when we keep it all
to ourselves, individually.
Working together does
not mean that we all have to agree on everything. It means that we remember who we are: the
Church. And we remember who the head of
the church is: Jesus Christ. We may have
different ways of worshipping. We may
use different translation of the Scriptures.
Our songs may even be different.
But we have all been called by the same Lord and Saviour. We have been called to be His church by
virtue of our Christian faith. And we
all share in the same basic values of our Baptist traditions.
It is my hope that
our association will remain strong, doing Christ’s work in the communities we
live in and beyond. And I pray that God
will renew and increase our desire for the world to see our Lord exalted by
what we do together: supporting the Camp ministry of Kingswood, the
chaplaincies of Grandview and Dykeland, the financial support of individual
churches and supporting each other in love with encouragement and cooperation.
Thus, I echo Paul’s
prayer for the Philippians: That our love may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that we may be able to discern what is best and pure
and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God. (Philippians
1: 9- 11)

Annual
Report of Chaplaincy Committee
Of
Eastern Valley Baptist Association
November
2008
Our
Chaplaincy Committee has met throughout the year to offer support to our
chaplains at Dykeland Lodge and Grandview Manor or to discuss various needs
that arise.
Following nine years of chaplaincy work at Grandview Manor, Rev.
Elizabeth Johnson retired on June 30th.
Have a blessed and enjoyable retirement, Liz and thank you for all your
work on our behalf!
On July
1st, Mary Perkins agreed to serve as interim chaplain at Grandview Manor for
the summer months of July and August; a special thank you to Mary. Mary is known to the residents and staff as
she often volunteers to help with the services.
On
September 1, Rev. Dr. Judith Saunders began her work at Grandview Manor after a
series of interviews and meetings to discern the direction God was leading us
in the calling of a new chaplain for Grandview Manor. Welcome, Judy!
Chaplain Debra Mosher has successfully passed her examination for
ordination on August 19th in Sackville, NB; she is planning a service of
ordination soon. Congratulations,
Debra! Debra continues her work at Dykeland
Lodge serving eight hours a week to 110 residents, their families and
staff. This is a continual concern for
our association and committee, as eight hours of paid work a week seems
inadequate to meet the spiritual and emotional needs in such a short time of
onsite work.
It has
also been a concern of the need for rest and relaxation of our chaplains and
remind them to take a break from their duties, as often as needed to keep
healthy mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
We thank God for the dedication of our chaplains to His people as they
serve faithfully week by week.
We have
one new chaplain serving in Greenwood: we welcome Rev. Gordon Poley to our
association and we say congratulations to Rev. Randall Read who is training in
Gagetown, NB. Please continue to pray
for our chaplains, in the military, as well as in the nursing homes and
prisons.
We
welcome Sheila MacDonald to our committee; she is replacing Pastor Tim Bigelow
who resigned this fall. Thank you, Tim,
for all your work with this committee.
I want
to express on behalf of the association, my thanks for this committee and their
willingness to attend meetings despite having full schedules. Thank you also for praying for us; prayer
works as we have experienced God's Presence leading and guiding us throughout
this year of changes.

Evangelism committee report nov.2008
The committee organized another successful witness by
means of a booth at the exhibition held at Berwick from May 30-June 1
2008.Several churches displayed posters and had info pamphlets to hand out.
We also had posters for churches to place in public
places, such as campgrounds etc.
Kingswood camp also had a good display.
The Gideons took part by handing out New Testaments.
There was free water available, which made a good
conversation starter.
“Bridges for peace” a ministry to Jews was represented
by Rev. Clyde Lowe.
We want to thank all those folks who manned the booth,
and made this witness possible.
Respectfully yours
John Eichhorn
Kingswood
Camp
Kingswood Camp ( http://www.kingswoodcamp.ca) is an evangelical
Christian camp situated on Lake George, Kings County, Nova Scotia, owned and
operated by the Eastern Valley Baptist Association and run in cooperation with
the Annapolis-Digby Baptist Association. We seek to honour God by providing an
atmosphere where campers encounter Jesus Christ and grow as His disciples
through wholesome relationships with dedicated Christian leaders, in an
inviting outdoor setting, while participating in safe programs and activities
relevant to their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual development.
Another camping
season has passed. We give thanks to God
for His many blessings. These include
dedicated staff and volunteers, over fifty campers dedicating their lives for
the first time to Christ and over forty rededications. Wilderness Camp was held in a new location
complete with two new outhouses. We are
most fortunate to have the offer to use the land free of charge for the
Wilderness Camp and all the volunteers who run the Camp.
With careful planning
and seeking out of various opportunities, staff were able to keep well within
the budget for 2008. Even with our
reasonable fees many families of campers find it difficult to send children to
camp. If we charged the actual cost for
each person to attend, the fees would be out of reach for many who enjoy and
benefit from the camping experience.
This necessitates our reliance on the generosity of Baptist Churches and
upon individual donors to run the camp.
After the generous donations toward the capital fund in 2007, donations
have not yet reached their regular level for the current year. If you have received a blessing, please keep
your Kingswood Camp in mind.

The Camp Committee
was pleased to host the Open House and dedication of Hennigar House (the new
Cabin Complex) last spring. This house
is named after the Dean Hennigar family, one of the original families who
helped to start Kingswood Camp. Now that
the campers are not in residence, the few remaining touches will be completed
to the building. If you would like to
help or you know of anyone who would like to help, please contact Laurie
Hennigar (902) 582- 3339.
The camp has a first
class canoe for sale or to trade for several training canoes. We wish to expand opportunities of learning
for the campers and this includes the need for more canoes to train in. Plans are in place to improve the waterfront
at the camp and to build a new games field as funds are available.
As you may be aware,
the camp has struggled for some time with the water situation. Our cup runneth over with joy to announce
that the boil water order was lifted and our tap water has now received the
seal of governmental approval. The
chlorination system does require a qualified person to be at the camp property
every day that water is being used at camp.
There is a financial cost in regard to rentals as a result. Rentals are increasing as word of the camp
facilities spreads. If you are
interested in renting the camp, please contact David Longley at (902) 825-3876.
Other good news
includes the announcement that Rev. Pamela Esty is now the Executive
Director. She has completed her second
year as interim Executive Director. With
prayerful
consideration, plans are being developed for the next two years. The annual Camp Committee retreat weekend at
Kingswood Camp will take place on November 14 and 15.
Please stay “tuned”
for future announcements concerning your Camp as the incorporation process
moves forward and as we plan and advertise fund raising activities. Your assistance will be appreciated at the
spring clean up day.
We thank you for your
support of Kingswood Camp this year.
Please keep the camp and all the individuals involved in your prayers.
Please join the Camp Committee in rejoicing over what is accomplished at
camp. We offer our thanks and praise for
the continued work of the Holy Spirit.
May we all receive continued blessings for the remainder of 2008 and for
2009.

The Summer of 2008 was truly a
“Transformational” summer at Kingswood Camp.
We were excited to have 265 total campers in attendance in 9 camps.
-7-
We
also employed 20 paid staff members and saw close to 30 others volunteer at
camp (including Wilderness Camp). Again
this year, we were blessed with 6 government grants; and were pleased to reinstitute
a volunteer training program which was noticeably absent last summer.
It was a good summer, with only one emergency
situation, which was handled well by the staff resulting in a favourable
outcome for the injured camper. The
staff and volunteers worked well together, and there were many relationships
built between staff and campers. This summer’s Global Adventure’s Program was
focused on Indonesia, and the campers and staff raised over $500 to go towards
purchasing bicycles for pastors there.
What was most amazing, though, was the
relationships the campers and staff developed with Christ. This summer saw close to one-hundred
significant spiritual decisions being made by campers, including 52 first-time
commitments. I was blessed on several
occasions to see staff leading young people to Christ, and seeing children and
teens crying out to God. I have observed
that this generation is hungry for the things of God, and we, as churches
charged with sharing the Good News, have a responsibility to show them God’s
love and grace.
My biggest concern is related to how to
better connect with churches and youth leaders.
This year’s statistics show that less than one-third of our campers hear
about and are referred to camp by churches.
That’s less than one camper per church!
On the flip side,
close to 20% are referred by Family &
Children’s Service, schools, and community recreation groups. Beyond the obvious need for our churches to
better promote and support our camp, I would like to see a better follow-up
and referral system in place so that we can guide these young people who are
meeting with God at camp into a church family where they can be discipled.
These are exciting times at Camp. This past summer, we were blessed by being
able to finally utilize our new cabin complex, Hennigar House. The campers actually referred to it as
“Hennigar Hotel,” and were thrilled at the upgraded facilities. The accessible showering facilities were
greatly appreciated by those working with special needs children. Another great day at camp was the afternoon
in July when we were finally able to remove the boil order notices, having
finally been able to satisfy the concerns of the Department of Environment. We proudly boast that we now have the
cleanest water in the county, as it currently goes through two levels of
pre-treatment!
There is still much to be done, as we work to
maximize the use of this resource to create a “safe” place where young people
can come and meet Jesus. Don’t
underestimate the ongoing need and value of Christian camping. We have been
amazed to see how God works when we allow Him to have his way in our
lives. Not only is the camp seeing
children and youth come to Christ, but it has become a valuable training ground
for young leaders who are passionate about sharing God’s love. Our staff are excited about what is happening
at camp, and passionate about being a part of it. It’s been a blessing to see these young
people develop leadership skills, and watch them grow in their faith.
We need your support, both financially and in
other areas. We need people who are
-8-
passionate about building a stronger next
generation who can give some time and effort to
becoming part of one of our
subcommittees. The old adage reminds us
that “many hands make light work.” Our
camp committee is working on an expanded vision for the camp, but we can’t do
it alone. We need you to start spreading
the word about camp and encouraging others to become a part of it. There are camp committee members and staff
who would love to come and share with your congregations and church
groups. Check out our website to find
out what’s new at camp and view videos of our summer camps. And most of all, we need your prayers as we
continue to reach out to youth with the message of the gospel.
Blessings,

Sue Mosher told about
her upcoming mission trip to Brazil from August 7 to 27, 2008. She and her daughter Sarah will be working
alongside Joyce Hancock in the Free Flight ministry. Free Flight helps young people to learn
skills so that they can have meaningful jobs and not end up on the street.

Guest speakers were
David and Sherry Seller. David and
Sherry went to Rwanda as part of a CBM team in December 2007 to help with the
construction of a school. All the
construction had to be done manually without electricity.
Rwanda is described
as a country of 1000 hills. The
population of 8.7 million people is contained in land the size of Nova
Scotia. Kigali is the capital city where
60 percent of the people live without electricity and running water. There are
more women than men in the country because of the genocide. In 1994 between 800,000 and 1,000,000 people
were
killed in 100
days. Bruno and Kathleen Soucy are
currently serving in Rwanda with CBM.
An offering of
$266.60 was received. Disbursements were
$50.00 to the guest speaker and $200.00 to First Cornwallis WMS.

REPORT TO THE EASTERN VALLEY ASSOCIATION
Pastors / Churches For a period of five months I was able to report that in Region 2
there was a pastor for each pulpit. However, by February there
was a Pulpit Committee in Margaretsville and in Bridgetown (Rev. Barry Aitkin is Interim Pastor); and now the list has grown to include: Canning (Rev. Murray Shaw is Interim Pastor), Coldbrook, Billtown, Woodville (Rev. Jerry Zinck is Interim Pastor for both Billtown & Woodville), Waterville, and Annapolis Royal. In addition Wolfville has a committee looking for an Associate Minister.
Other churches have called new personnel:

Regional Working Group The RWG held a special session at ADC on July 11/08
with the Convention’s President, Dr. Margaret Munro, and
the Interim Executive Minister, Dr. Malcolm Beckett, to make recommendations regarding 2009. Following the August 20/08 meeting of the Convention Council Chairman Randy Legassie and I were informed that I was being asked to postpone my proposed retirement until June 30/09 in order to continue to serve as Regional Minister on a part-time basis for the opening six months of 2009, thereby giving time for a Search Committee to secure a successor by July 1/09. I have agreed to serve ¾ time in 2009.
The RWG met again on Tuesday, October 28/08, following the annual meeting of the Region 2 Committee whose chair, Mary Billard, takes the names of Region 2 nominees to the Convention Nominating Committee meeting on November 12/08.
Personal Many adjustments have been made in our
family as
devoted additional time to grandparenting and parenting while our son,
Peter, and our grandchildren, Nova and Quinn, have developed a new sense of normal as a single parent family. We continue to thank God, and thank you for the personal and prayerful support that has been given to us this year.

Convention Oasis 2008 was a memorable Baptist celebration. During the business
session Rev. Dave Dubois was elected President, Rev. Dr. Bob Knowles
was elected Vice-President, and Rev. Peter Reid was elected Executive Minister. Sincere
thanks was expressed to Drs. Malcolm Beckett and Bruce
Fawcett for the extra responsibilities they carried in the interim period. This fall Dr. Bruce Fawcett announced his
decision to accept a call to join the faculty at
United In
UIM contributions to the end of September (2008) from twenty-eight churches in the Eastern
Valley Association totalled $125,342 (down from $135,174 in 2007); and fifteen + twelve =
twenty-seven churches in the Annapolis-Digby Association totaled $46,375 + $17,740 = $64,115 (down from $54,586 + $18,003 = $78,979 in 2007). The CABC Treasurer’s Report to September 30/08 shows an income of $1,489,012 (down from $1,569,657 in 2007). In the final quarter of 2008 45% of the $2,625,000 UIM Goal for 2008 has yet to be achieved. When all churches within the Convention actually make a UIM contribution the goal is achievable. Therefore, we have a challenge to contribute generously to UIM for the concluding two months of 2008!
Remember: “ Stronger. Together.”
Let’s do our part!

Eastern Valley United
Baptist Association
Convention Report 2008
Oasis 2008, previously known as
Convention, met at Mount Allison University, Sackville, NB from August 20-22.
The change in name reflects a change in focus to a time of refreshing and
fellowship with others from our Atlantic Baptist Convention. The time we spent
together was filled with opportunities to worship, learn, attend to business,
and just gather for conversation and renewing acquaintances with old friends.
The worship times were a highlight
for me this year. The Penny Merchants led the
main sessions with contemporary
music, and concerts and by Marko Simmonds and Steve Bell helped to round out
the musical events. A contemplative worship service led by Dr. Harry Gardner
and Devin Johnstone was also highly spoken of by many in attendance.
A large portion of the business this
year was centered around recommended changes to the Regulations Concerning the
Ministry, and after some discussion, voting was delayed until next year in
order to give the committee time to produce a further document to be
considered. As well, the delegates present agreed in principle to continue the
process leading to incorporation of the Convention. Dr. Margaret Munro gave
able leadership throughout the business sessions. Rev. Peter Reid was elected
to a five-year term as Executive Minister as was Rev. Dale Stairs to the
position of Director of Youth and Family Ministries. Rev. David DuBois received
the nod as the new President and Dr. Robert Knowles became Vice President by
acclamation.
A wide variety of sessions were held
with many talented facilitators. The most frequent comment I heard was that
there were too many great choices, and not enough time to attend them all! The
speakers, Dr. Carson Pue, Don Simmonds, and Dr. Gary Nelson, were relevant and
thought-provoking as they encouraged us to reach out to the world around us,
and the devotionals led by Dr. Harry Gardner and Dr. Brian MacArthur challenged
us as well.
For me, Oasis was a time of
celebration and worship with God’s people. It was thrilling to have so many
pastors from our Association pass the Examining Council and be recommended to
their churches for Ordination. As well, the opportunity to speak with CBM
missionaries and other church leaders is always welcome.
I would encourage anyone who is able
to make plans to attend next year’s Oasis which is scheduled for Acadia
University from August 19-22. It is a truly awesome experience to spend a few
days with around 1000 other Baptists, praising God and intentionally working
towards expanding God’s Kingdom through His Church. Thank you to the
Association for allowing me to represent you as a delegate this past summer.

Reflections on
“Oasis
Mount Allison
University, Sackville, NB, August 20-23
~ Submitted by Pastor David Cumby, Hall’s Harbour Baptist Church
It had been approximately 15 years since
I had attended a convention at the Mt. Allison site. I could not help but be impressed by the
amount of new or renovated
residences and facilities (such as the
beautiful Dining Hall and improved meal service)
-18-
that had been constructed both in this
area and throughout the campus. I had
also forgotten how beautiful this campus was, and the warm and sunny weather
throughout most of the Convention was an added bonus!
I
want to thank the Association for choosing me as one of your delegates, as this
helped make it possible not only for my wife to attend with me (as a delegate
from our church), but Hall’s Harbour Baptist was also encouraged to have a
second delegate (Deacon Richard Parker) appointed. This was the first time in recent years the
church
had a separate delegate outside of its
pastor (or spouse). Deacon Parker gave
an
excellent Report on Convention at our
Morning church service on the 24th, which was much more interesting
for everyone then just receiving an update from their pastor. This increased involvement from our church
will hopefully set a pattern for future years.
I had seen an advance promo for the new
Oasis theme/format. While the thrust seemed positive, I had wondered if it
could live up to its advance billing.
Based on my own experience (and many I spoke with) this event definitely
broke new ground in the quality & variety of music, worship and devotional
events. From rally services with the Penny Merchants, to afternoon and evening
Christian artist concerts/cafés, to the additional 4 simultaneous Thurs.
worship options (ex. I attended a moving ‘Contemplative Journey’ service led by
Dr. Gardner in the beautiful Anglican church) and the very innovative Friday
night Christian arts and worship celebration --- there was something for all
ages and personalities.
This variety
was also seen in the selection of ministry & education seminars. I wished I could attend more than just two
[“10 things I wish my Pastor Knew” (Don Simmonds) and “Moving Your Church from
Maintenance to Mission (Regional Ministers – Guinta & Weiler)] of the more
than 30 available. Add to this the careful interspersing of business (ensuring
it did run longer than necessary) and providing for
other fellowship time (the opportunity
to both make and renew friendships) within the overall program, and the reformatted
Convention certainly has “raised the bar” for future years, as well as offering
a true “Oasis” of praise, reflection and learning for our Convention.
Challenging
40 min. keynote devotions with Dr. Gardner (on people with Gospel, Grace &
Global perspective) and Dr. MacArthur (Refreshment principles – from John ch.
4) began each Thursday and Friday session and set the tone for the later main
rally speakers. These focussed on
examining faith in a variety of contemporary settings. Wed. eve. Saw Gary Nelson from CBM (Faith,
Missions & Culture – issues looking ahead); Thurs. Eve – Don Simmonds,
entrepreneur and youth leader (Faith & Work: What can we learn from the
Marketplace?) and Fri. morning – Carson Pue, President, Arrowhead Leadership
(Faith & Leadership: Modelling Faith in God). While many
conferences will have only one or two
acclaimed Keynote speakers (who often speak several times), this entire
Conference line-up reflected spiritual quality amid diversity of perspective
and approach.
Having the
new Convention President (Rev. Dave DuBois), Executive & Regional Ministers
(and Spouses) lead us in the Closing Communion Service was as in the past a
highlight of the whole week and of my Oasis experience. Thanks again for allowing me to represent
you.

We have requested an
increase to $1500.00 as our annual budget for 2009 to cover operating costs and
honorariums for guest speakers participating in the 2009 workshops.
Saturday, March 15th marked the
date of our spring workshop at Wolfville Baptist Church on the issue of Mental
Health entitled, Out of the Shadows At Last. Rev. Jennifer Smart led this program with
assistance from Rev. Roger Cann, Rev. Judith Saunders, Rev. David Shaw and
committee member, Geraldine Browning. Presentations and personal stories were
shared to a group of approximately forty-five people.
It was approved by Association that Rev.

EVBA to the Mental Health Coalition of Nova Scotia.
November 1st
is the date scheduled for our fall workshop on Conflict Management which
will be held following the Fall Association Meeting at Avonport Baptist Church
from 1:15 pm to 3:00 pm. Dr. John Bartol will give leadership to this event and
will be assisted by Dr. Roger Cann.
As a reminder, our committee is happy to
receive suggestions of issues for social action and of ministries to meet
social needs in our Valley churches and communities.
We thank you for the support we have received
in the past and ask for your continued prayers as we go on into 2009 giving God
the glory as He so deserves.
In His Service,

STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT
NOVEMBER 1,
2008
This committee met quarterly since last year’s annual
meeting to review the financial position of our association. We are pleased with our present financial
position however have concerns with the current level of support from church
allotments. We have requested on other
occasions that churches are encouraged to remit their allotments on a monthly
basis if at all possible and quarterly at the very least. This helps to ensure a consistent cash
flow. As of October 20th we
have received less than half of the expected allotments from churches as many
are inclined to wait until year end or worse yet, until after the beginning of
the new year before making their remittances.
You can appreciate, we hope, the difficulty this creates for our
treasurer in trying to ensure all bills are paid and support is provided to
various churches and agencies as required.
We ask once again that you, the delegates from the various churches,
take back to your church treasurers and/or finance committees this request that
church allotments be sent in an orderly and timely fashion. We might also mention that the recommended
basis for church allotments is $17.00 per attending member/adherent in the
local church’s morning worship service.
During this past year our committee organized and put
on a training workshop for church treasurers which dealt specifically with the
annual charities return which has to sent in to the federal government on an
annual basis. This was not a well
attended event so none has been planned for the immediate future. If and when the needs arises for further
training, we will endeavour to arrange another such event.
We are pleased to be able to present another balanced
budget for the year 2009 although some committees may discover their requests
have been cut back a bit in order to keep within the anticipated revenues.
This committee will continue to work closely with the other
association committees to ensure that those ministries which we have committed
ourselves to are adequately funded to attain their goals.
Respectfully submitted,
P. R. (Phil) Locke,
Committee Chairman
