Committee DescriptionsThe Buildings and Grounds Committee is responsible for all phases of the physical church plant, including replacements, repairs, and landscaping.

The Children & Family Ministries Committee provides opportunities for children to know Jesus, grow in faith, live in community with other believers and minister to others. We offer support to families as they raise their children and provide opportunities for volunteers to learn and grow in their service to others.

The Finance Committee encompasses seven major areas: stewardship education, annual budget planning, disbursement control, oversight of the Treasurer and Financial Secretary, insurance, inventory control and depreciation studies.

The Fellowship & Discipleship Committee oversees and supports all adult discipleship ministries - Sunday classes, small groups, Bible Studies, men’s and women’s ministries - so that we would grow deeper in faith. Additionally, we plan and carry-out opportunities for our church to have fellowship together so that our bonds of friendship are strengthened as well - Sundays between services, as well as special events throughout the year.

The Missions Committee reflects God’s love by encouraging, sending and/or supporting long term or short term missionaries, assisting mission boards and agencies, and developing mission awareness in members.

The Outreach Committee was implemented to acclimate visitors, find creative and effective ways to bring people to Christ and encouraging attendance and growth through becoming active members of the church.

The Personnel Committee assists the Session in fulfilling its responsibilities for the people employed by the church, and to provide counsel, support, a ready ear and a helping hand to the staff.

The Worship and Music Committee has the oversight of worship in the congregation, the development of a music program, the administration of the sacraments, special worship services, and the charting of statistics to discover trends and needs.

The Youth & Family Ministry Committee focuses on all activities, programs, curriculum and leadership designed to guide our youth into Christian growth, commitment, outreach and service.

Selections from Nehemiah 3

I am going into 2015 with a lot of optimism about the future of Rose Hill. 2014 was a year of a lot of change and transition: adjustment to two services, long-time staff leaving, new interim staff in place, a new logo, facilities updates, and the beginning of the discernment process. Much of 2014, to be honest, was challenging. 2015 will continue to have some transitions and its challenges. But I anticipate that in this year we’ll begin to feel a little more like we’re “moving forward” as opposed to “getting ready to go forward” as transitional phases tend to feel.

Here are a few things I anticipate to be themes/happenings in 2015:• Increased connection with the community around us. Some of this will be through continued personal engagement through the “Laundry Outreach,” VBS, and other endeavors like them. There will also be, however, a greater emphasis on advertising/promotions in the community. For instance, we’ve already just begun mailers to people who have purchased a home within a two-mile radius of the church in the previous month, welcoming them to the neighborhood and letting them know who and where we are. The new logo (on the front of the Annual Report) is a key component to gaining recognition and awareness and inviting people to know Jesus and join with us as His disciples here at Rose Hill.

• Increased connection with one another. If you’re not a part of a small group, Bible study, of Sunday morning discipleship class, then I encourage you to get involved. Not only will you grow in faith, but you’ll also grow in relationship with people who call Rose Hill home. And that’s important, as we encourage and support one another in faith and the challenges of life.• Continued development of Children’s and Youth Ministries. If you’re a parent of children or youth, their participation and inviting of friends to Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights, retreats, special events, etc., is vitally important. This is where they grow in faith along with their peers (as opposed to at home with their parents) and that is so important. Kids need to know that they’re in this “faith thing” together with other kids. • Updating our facilities. We really have great facilities that are showing their age in various ways and are limiting us some for church in this era. This updating work began near the end of 2014, with the changes done to the youth room, the move of the nursery to the main floor, and some consulting work done by TGB Architects. A couple recommendations are that more narthex space is needed, and a more inviting presentation of our facilities to all the people that drive by on NE 90th St. would be a big step in the right direction. These specific facilities things may not actually come to fruition in 2015, but I believe we’ll be taking more steps in this direction so that they will come about at some point down the line.

A couple people have mentioned to me that they read through Nehemiah, and they hoped I would condense some of it in our sermon series, because it gets kind of dry with the listing of lots of people’s names. It’s true, those sections are not the most engaging reading – kind of like reading the different genealogy lists found in different parts of Scripture. But, look at the importance of each of those people in chapter three and their role in the building of the wall. (Seriously, go to Nehemiah 3 and take a look!) The wall was rebuilt because of those people’s efforts. Nehemiah didn’t do it all; he had the vision, and the organizational leadership needed to coordinate everyone’s efforts.

- 8 -

And now it’s our turn to do the same here at Rose Hill. We’ve already begun, and we’re building on what others have done before us. There are so many people who make things happen around here this past year: An awesome and committed staff, Elders that lead well, Deacons who care for people, and so many others who are involved in a variety of ways. I am in deep gratitude for each person of RHPC. It’s an honor and a joy to be your pastor and to be leading this church. And I pray that in 2015, you will continue to be involved, because we all have the opportunity to be do that just as we read in Nehemiah 3.

Here are a couple specifics. First, you can start with Sunday morning participation. If you’re in town, then come be a part of worship and participate in a class. Just your presence and participation on Sundays encourages others, lets visitors (we have them almost every Sunday) know that worship is important here at RHPC, and that we’re a church that’s alive and on the move. It’s one simple way that you can help rebuild Rose Hill.

And then, as opportunities arise to connect people to Christ, go for it! Invite someone to church, to VBS, to a movie night, to a retreat…or just go out to coffee with someone and be a listening ear. Or host a neighborhood party (ask the Muilenburgs about their experience), serve at the foodbank or Laundry Outreach, or some other opportunity to bless people in our community. All of these things build up the body of Christ.

We all have a role to play in the building up of RHPC, just like the people in Nehemiah’s day all had a role to play. And as we step out in faith, trusting God to carry us and lead us along, He will do amazing things in and through us. I’m looking forward to 2015 as we serve alongside one another, bringing glory to God in our lives together!

Your Pastor,

Brian

Gwen NorthInterim Director of Children’s Ministries

I find it delightful to be able to serve the children of Rose Hill Presbyterian Church. Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I count it as an honor and a blessing. Reflecting on the past months since I became the Interim Director is a fun thing to do:

Sunday School and Children’s Church are the heartbeat of our ministry. We seek to equip and empower kids with the rich knowledge of Christ. We seek to enable them to personally encounter Christ so that they will walk with Him daily.

Kings Kids is our Wednesday Evening Discipleship Ministry. We are going through the Book of Acts. A highlight has been that the kids memorized 5 Scriptures. As a reward we went to Starbucks. We are doing Disciple Land Curriculum with this group and it is a rich teaching tool.

We also have had special Children’s Ministry events!!!!! These events are great opportunities for our church to connect with one another and with people in the community. I have enjoyed being apart of the Roller Skating Event, Carpenters Workshop, and the Christmas Pageant since I have come on staff in early September.

I enjoy leading and being apart of Special Events, Kings Kids, Sunday School, and Children’s Church. It is my prayer that God will go before us in 2015 and lead us to truth and grow us in His wisdom in Children’s ministry. May Rose Hill Presbyterian be a joyful place to worship the Risen King for all people! May the children of RHPC be blessed and nurtured by the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ...

In Christ,

Gwen

Christina Hunt/OsborneInterim Director of Youth Ministries

It has been a pleasure to serve the youth and families of Rose Hill in 2014 as the interim youth director. While 2014 has been a wonderful year it has also been one of change and transition as we bid farewell to Pastor Doug after 16 years of leadership within the church and youth ministry.

In 2014 the youth participated in Discipleship Classes on Sunday mornings and Youth Group on Wednesday nights. Our highlights for the year included snow tubing at the pass, hosting the Valentine’s lunch, Fusion winter retreat at Island Lake, and leading Youth Sunday with a focus on love and its attributes. Over the summer we attended camp at Tall Timber Ranch where we played hard, worshipped with all our heart and were challenged to trust God with every part of our life.

This Fall we restructured the format of the Youth Ministry, intentionally creating opportunities for students to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Christ, study his word, be encouraged through song, be challenged with a weekly message, have time to talk with one another in small groups and have time for fellowship and fun!

Sunday Morning Youth Discipleship is designed to be a time to dig in even deeper, as we explore the light, life and truth of God’s word. In Youth ministry we are committed to the spiritual growth and development of every student and want to be intentional with our teaching and study, ensuring that each student walks away not only knowing of, but encountering God. In September we began a study that provided us with an overarching view of the Bible and took a closer look at the themes presented in within each book.

Wednesday Night Youth kicked off in September with a new time and new design. Seeking to be purposeful with our time we restructured the format meeting downstairs in the youth rooms with a whole group activity and game, breaking with a time for snacks before turning up the volume and praising the Lord in song.

Quieting our hearts in prayer we listen to a message prepared by one of the leaders and then break into small groups with follow-up questions from the talk, allowing a time for our students to connect with one another and better translate what they have heard into their daily lives. Two new additions to our regular activities are Friday Night Hangouts (FNH) and Saturday Serve days. Friday nights are synonymous with fun and we believe it is important to provide our students with a safe space to have fun, build relationships and connect. The 3rd Friday of every month we opened up the doors to the gym and youth rooms for a time of running around, organized games, lots of noise, music, and sugar filled food. Saturday Serve days create an opportunity for our students to be involved with the community throughout the year. In September we participated in Kirkland’s Month of concern for the hungry, collecting food at grocery stores in the area to restock Hopelink’s supply before the winter. In November our students served as helpers at Carpenter’s Workshop.

The most visible change of 2014 for our youth has been the redesign of the two youth rooms downstairs. A generous donation over the summer allowed us the opportunity to reimagine our space, letting go of some of our old items and purchase many new furnishings. Repainting the rooms we were able to create a new fresh space for our students as they returned for a new year in the Fall. In December we held an end of year giving campaign to raise the additional funds needed to complete our vision, thank you to all who donated, we are excited to have the rooms finished in early 2015!

Thank you for your continued support of the youth and youth ministry here at Rose Hill. A special thanks to Kurt Thompson, Jane Maclin, Paul Osborne, Shawna Wattleworth and Angela Kull for your leadership and service throughout the year. Many thanks to Helen Tsang and Barbara Kull who faithfully serve as our Youth Committee, your support and encouragement is invaluable. Looking forward to another amazing year in 2015!

Sheryl MittleiderAdministrative Assistant

As I complete my fourth year as the Administrative Assistant for Rose Hill’s staff and family I realize that the people have become like family. It delights me to work together with you to help move the church forward in whatever way I may serve you.

The office work load increases daily as new and exciting things are added to making those necessary changes to help the growth of Rose Hill. I am grateful to those who make allowances for these growing pains and learning curves. As always, I appreciate all the eager helpers who assist with the Messenger, the bulletin, and the substitutes in the office in my absence.

I’m looking forward to another year of new and exciting days.

In service to God and His people,Sheryl Mittleider

Tim Weltz Director of Music

“Next to the Word of God, music deserves

the highest praise. The gift of language

combined with the gift of song was given

to man that he should proclaim the Word

of God through Music.” - Martin Luther

I have included this quote here before. The goal of each of our musical groups here at Rose Hill that God will use us as His instruments to convey His message through our music, whether vocal or instrumental, to our congregation. I am confident that God honors that commitment and makes us greater than who we are by adding His own voice to ours.

As music director, my job is to lead each of the following groups in their preparation and their service to the congregation of Rose Hill.

Our Chancel Choir continues to be the most amazing ‘care group’ that I have ever been privileged to be a part of. Preparing musical

messages to share with our congregation is what we do, but sharing, praying and caring for one another is who we are. Though some of the faces may change as we welcome new members, this fact remains a constant. Any new member will instantly find themselves embraced by the loving arms of this group.

While our key mission is to share an anthem in each Sunday’s service, we also prepare and share in other special services. This past year we led in a concert of worship on Palm Sunday for the Lent/Easter season and ‘An Early American Festival of Lessons and Carols’ for the Christmas season. We also performed our now traditional ‘choir favorites Sunday’ this past June.

The Praise Ringers had a challenging and successful year musically, as we prepared and performed music of a greater skill level. Unfortunately we have had to face some challenges in personnel as we have lost some members and have not as yet found new members to step in for them. We took part in worship on a monthly basis from September through May and four of us attended the Area 10 conference of the Handbell Musicians of America.

As the Praise Ringers were experiencing personnel difficulties, the BellTones were also facing their own challenges in this area. This led to a reduced role in our worship services this past year. This past fall, under the continued direction of Jeanne Harshbarger, we have tried to take a different route with this group by incorporating it into the Wednesday night Kids Ministry. We are continuing to evaluate this program, while trying to find new ways to give novice ringers the opportunity to learn to play handbells.

All of our groups had the joyful opportunity to participate in a great outreach event this past December. Many thanks to the visionary leadership of Andy Padvorac and Sue Eddy who arranged for us to share an afternoon of Christmas Music at the Safeway store on 85th. All who participated enjoyed this event, and we were well received by the store and its patrons.

- 11 -

I continue to work each week, along with Pastor Brian, in planning our 11AM worship services. I also continue to take part in the 9:30 service, working mostly in the background, but occasionally joining Lexie and the worship band.

I am so thankful for the many wonderful musicians who participate with us weekly to make the music at Rose Hill special. I am especially thankful for the work of Brad Hurte who has taken the leadership in keeping the Rose Hill Brass a part of our Advent and Easter services. We continue to be blessed by Heather Gin’s great service as organist, pianist, and choir accompanist. I look forward to walking in to the choir room each Sunday to be greeted by Sue VanderAa as she works to keep the choir library well organized.

Finally, it remains my joy to serve alongside the staff of Rose Hill and each of the members of the Worship and Music Committee.

Soli Deo GloriaTim Weltz

Lexie CalvoDirector of Modern WorshipI have been so blessed to be involved in leading the worship ministry here at Rose Hill over the past year. The start of the new contemporary service in twenty-fourteen called for an extension of our worship ministry—a contemporary worship team. A group of musicians and vocalists from within the congregation have joined together to form a pool of volunteers who make themselves available to serve on both the worship and technology teams for the contemporary service. While some of our volunteers are newly involved in this particular ministry, many are long-time members who have faithfully served the church’s worship ministry and now choose to give more of their time to be a part of this new team. I am deeply grateful for the willingness of each individual who plays a part in serving Rose Hill. We are always interested in adding more musicians to our team and invite anyone who desires to be involved to contact Tim or myself.

Over the last year we have worked together to grow in our authenticity as leaders, musical skills and abilities as a group, and love for Christ and the church. When we’re not on stage or back in the tech. booth worshipping with you, we spend one night each week praying together, rehearsing music for coming services, and enjoying each other’s company. We have also made it a priority to learn a new worship song to teach to the congregation at least once a month. Looking forward to this new year at Rose Hill it is my prayer that we as a ministry will continue to seek God’s heart through our worship. We hope that the music we create is a blessing and that it fosters an atmosphere of authentic response to God and His presence. Join with us as we pray and believe that God has great things in store for us this year as we worship Him together!

Session ReportRay Carr Clerk of Session

The Session members that God called and you elected have very faithfully and diligently worked in their leadership roles to guide our wonderful family of believers here at Rose Hill. There’s been a new ‘view’ to intentionally work with our vision of Inspire, Invite and Ignite as being the base from which ministries and activities are considered. Watching the business that is brought to the meetings, I’ve observed a new level of inter-committee coordination, providing much more cohesive planning and actions for our ministries. It is both humbling and exciting to watch God at work in so many areas where we seek Him, listen and then follow Him! Please remember, too, that your prayerful support plays a very large role in all our ministries as we continue to walk where He leads us.

Difficult decisions are a part of any leadership and your Session has faced a number this year. And it is with great admiration that I can attest to how well Session considered, discussed and prayerfully acted upon those decisions as they

- 12 -

looked to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Our growing concern with issues at the national Presbyterian level has brought us to initiate a formal process of discernment with our Seattle Presbytery. Your Session and Discernment Teams are very mindful that we look not just at disassociation, but that we look toward where God will lead us. God’s people still care about all people, and we should continue to pray as such.

This year Session also held an informal meeting with Westside Presbyterian Church’s Session to share about each other’s ministry ideas and concepts as part of our continuing affiliation with the Fellowship of Presbyterians. New ideas can come from you, too! Consider if God would have you participate and bring your thoughts to any of His ministries working from this family at Rose Hill.

We’ve had some poignant time with our family this year as well, with both our long time Associate Pastor Doug Ranney and Children’s Director Wendy Markham following God’s leading to other life-ministries. We wish them well and pray that they will continue to see God’s future work for them. And as new leadership and ideas emerge, we can praise our Lord for how He used those people to ‘grow’ us and use what they taught to help make us more effective for Him!

Session annually holds a joint meeting with your Deacons to help keep each other abreast of the ongoing ministries. It is always inspiring and a joy to hear of the servants hearts in the care not only of this family, but to others outside our doors as well. Bless your Deacons!

Sincere thanks is also due to the staff who provide support to enable your leaders decision-making: Sheryl Mittleider our talented Administrative Assistant; Barb Roetcisoender and Linda Muilenburg with their special gifts in financial operations.

For our ruling elders, those that have served their term, those that are continuing, and those who will be leading us this coming year – we lift our prayers of support, God’s protection, Christ’s love, and the Holy Spirit’s leading for God’s glory! Special gratitude also is expressed

to those families of the elders, allowing us the benefit of their work away from your home.As we begin this new year, let us be in continual prayer with our Creator: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess 5:16-18 Trusting Him,Ray Carr

Deacons’ ReportBruce MateerDeacon Moderator

Your Deacons were very busy this year filling the needs of our congregation and our community. As Deacons, it is our privilege. In doing this, we have seen the Lord answer prayer and meet needs. Our work this year fell into three areas: congregational care, community outreach, and prayer ministry. This couldn’t have been accomplished without your support and prayer.

Congregational Care

Visitations: Each month each Deacon visits one or more of our elderly members who can’t get to church anymore. There are eighteen people we visit. At Easter, we deliver Azaleas and at Christmas, we give Poinsettias to these people.

Cards & Flowers: Cards are sent to people in the hospital, experiencing a loss of a loved one, shut-ins and those on our prayer list. Plants are given to members who are hospitalized and pulpit Rose buds celebrate the birth of children. This year we sent 129 cards and delivered 10 plants.

Memorial Receptions: This year we coordinated receptions for three memorials. Parish Plan: This is a ministry that the Deacons coordinate that provides assistance to our members in need. You have provided countless meals to those

- 13 -

recuperating from an illness or loss of a loved one, as well as transportation to get to the doctor, store, bank post office, etc. Teacup Ministries: The Deacons assist the Teacup ladies with their activities. This is a group of widows and unmarried women who support one another.

Christmas Card: A Christmas time, the Deacons put a large Christmas card in the narthex so that the congregation can give what they would have spent in mailing cards to their church friends. This money is used throughout the year by the Deacons to meet congregational needs.

Community OutreachThanksgiving and Christmas Boxes: Through your generosity, the Deacons gave 13 boxes at Thanksgiving and 12 boxes at Christmas. These provide enough food for a large meal and then some. This year, a third of the boxes went to church families and the rest to hungry families at Juanita View Apartments and the Boys and Girls Club.

Angel Tree: Our participation in the Angel Tree Project is part of Prison Fellowship Ministries. One of the highest things on a parent’s mind while in prison are their children. This ministry gives children Christmas gifts from their incarcerated parent. You gave gifts for 28 children, representing 21 families.

Woodinville Storehouse: This is a Christian food bank that we support in three ways. First, the food you donate each month goes to stock the food bank shelves. We also provide $200 a month to buy perishables like eggs, vegetables, meat, etc. Secondly, we supply spiritual food, too. One Saturday a month, our team goes to the Storehouse to hand out food but most importantly, to listen to the clients and pray with them. On average, the Storehouse reaches 62 families a month. Thirdly, you were involved in providing back packs filled with school supplies that were given to thrilled and appreciative kids.Prayer Ministry

Most important in our meetings is the time spent in prayer for concerns of our congregation. Each month we pray for the comfort of those

grieving a loss and those undergoing difficult health issues and other concerns.The Deacons are very grateful for the many donations that came from your hearts this year, helping to meet so many needs in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Thank you for your caring support.

Committee ReportsBuilding & GroundsDuring 2014, the Building and Grounds committee undertook a number of projects to ensure the continued usability of the great facility we are blessed with for use by the Rose Hill family and community.

There are always unplanned events that happen, and the falling of the power pole across the driveway just before Christmas 2013 was one of those. Fortunately, Puget Sound Energy was responsible for the repairs, and those were finished and paid for by them. We also encountered some issues with the sanctuary lighting, and as a result all of the pew lighting fixtures and dimmers needed to be replaced. The upside of this project is that we now have high-efficiency long lasting LED bulbs that will significantly reduce our lighting power costs.

All of the water heaters were also evaluated and some were very old and needed replacement, as they were failing. One of those was the unit that provides hot water to the kitchen and social hall area restrooms. We were able to replace it with an on-demand high efficiency water heater that will reduce our natural gas usage.

The other building upgrades during the year were a replacement of the fire and burglar alarm systems and the installation of a building data network. The alarm systems allow for better access by both our personnel and by first responders.

- 14 -

The data network is an ongoing project to improve computer, phone, and Internet access throughout the building.

Other projects include adding a yard waste service due to restrictions of dumping clippings into the woods, all of the building drawings being scanned into a computer and the paper copies being assembled into useable sets, painting of the downstairs youth rooms, improvements to the irrigation system, and creation of a new temporary sign frame for the front of the church.

As we look toward the future Rose Hill and how the facility provides for the needs of the Rose Hill family and community and how it compares to other churches, we commissioned a study by TGB architects. Fortunately, the size of the building and parking lot meet our needs now and into the future. The study did provide some recommendations for improvement, primarily in the narthex, nursery, rest rooms and offices.

As we move through the next two years, we will be addressing projects to improve those areas of the church. All of these projects would not have been possible without the generous giving by the Rose Hill family of their time, talent and treasures and we are blessed by a great supply of each.

During the year, I came on the Building and Grounds committee as a first year elder, but with the untimely departure of Matt Gregory from the committee I had to take over leadership. I hold in high regard the untiring work done by Matt during his time as leader.

In God’s Love,Greg KullBuilding and Grounds Chairman

Children & Family MinistryJesus said, “Let the little children come

to me, and do not hinder them, for the

kingdom of heaven belongs to such as

these.” Matthew 19:14

For three of the Gospel writers (Matthew – 19:14, Mark – 10:14, and Luke -18:16) to recount the same story, using the exact same verbiage,

must mean that we are to pay attention and be obedient. This verse is the basis for the ministry carried out by the Children’s Committee at Rose Hill.

2014 was a year of tremendous change in Children’s Ministries at Rose Hill as we bid a very fond farewell to Wendy Markham as Children’s Ministry Director. Both the job description and the title have been revised, and as of this writing, Gwen North has been appointed interim Director of Children and Family Ministries while a suitable candidate pool is formed from which to interview for the permanent position.

Another signal change was adapting to the addition of our second worship service at 9:30 a.m. This affected Sunday morning programming greatly, because we aim to provide meaningful, relevant content for the children attending at each service. The challenge is to provide interesting stuff for kids who attend both, while giving a coherent message no matter which service a family attends. From the outset, the committee was cognizant that we may be called on to make changes as trends evolve, and that has definitely held true. Details are included in the Sunday morning report below.

Sunday morningsAs has been the case for several years, Discipleship classes used the “ Power Express“ rotational curriculum. In 2014, lessons included Jesus in the Temple, Jesus is Baptized, Jesus and the Children, Journey to the Cross, Easter – Go and Tell, Pentecost, Joseph, Daniel, Esther, and Isaiah. Each topic is studied for about four weeks, through a variety of means. A different way of experiencing the story is offered each week. During the first part of the year, this curriculum was presented during the 9:30 hour, moving to the 11:00 hour after summer break. Due to volunteer staffing changes, starting in the fall, the Preschool children have been included in with Elementary children.

For the first half of 2014, Godly Play was offered during the 11:00 worship time. Following summer break, the Gospel Light follow-up curriculum to Vacation Bible School was adopted for Children’s Church during the 9:30

- 15 -

Contemporary Worship service. The children, preschool age through elementary, begin the worship service with their families, then are dismissed to Children’s Church.

King’s KidsDuring the first half of 2014, King’s Kids implemented Pioneer Club curriculum to guide children through Bible verse memorization, activities and service projects to earn awards and patches. An end of year celebration provided an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the participants.

Starting in the fall, the King’s Kids meeting time was shortened, and switched to a different curriculum. The lessons incorporate scripture memory, and we have been studying early church history as we explore the adventures of the apostles in Acts.

Vacation Bible SchoolThis year, the theme of VBS was Gospel Light’s “Son Treasure Island” where the children learned about love from Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth. As in past years, an all-hands volunteer effort was shown forth by the Rose Hill family, with MANY Rose Hill members participating in some way to make this event possible.

Spirit of Adventure CampChildren and volunteer counselors from Rose Hill attended Junior Camp together at Tall Timber Ranch in Leavenworth, where they enjoyed a Celtic-themed exploration of early Christianity, with the central theme being God as creator.

Carpenter’s WorkshopOnce again, this annual event provided children the opportunity to practice the art of giving, and to experience the pride of creating the gifts to be given. Headed up by Karin and Gordy Darragh, it gave almost 70 kids from 35 families a chance to prepare for Christmas. Again, participation by 40 Rose Hill members was key in allowing this outreach to happen.

Christmas PageantThe title of this year’s pageant was “Bethlehem Bound” in which the Youth and Children collaborated to present the essential points of the Christmas story through song, dance, drama, and instrumental music. Directed by Gwen North, it featured the talents of about 20 children and youth.

As you can see, change has been woven into the fabric of the ministry throughout this year. And it will continue. Already the look of the rooms upstairs has been updated, and preschool ages have been incorporated into Sunday morning programming. Some highlights of proposed modifications in 2015 include moving the nursery to the first floor (it will be relocated to the room across from the library as a first step, and the teachers’ workroom will move downstairs to the room directly below) and hiring paid nursery workers to supplement the volunteer rolls. Different curricula are proposed, and monthly events will be incorporated.

Please continue to uphold both the children and our many volunteers in prayer as we endeavor to implant God’s Word and a desire to know Him more deeply in each child taking part in the ministry. And as always, please consider joining in the adventure of making disciples! There is room on the committee for anyone wishing to invest in the next generation of believers.

Discernment TeamThe Discernment Team for Rose Hill church was formed in October of this year in response to a Session vote in late July to begin a time of discernment regarding our church’s relationship with the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA). After notifying the Seattle Presbytery of the Session’s decision, Session was provided with the presbytery’s then recently adopted Discernment and Gracious Separation Policy, which calls for the formation of a Discernment Team consisting of four members from Rose Hill church and four members from other churches in Seattle Presbytery.

- 16 -

The four Rose Hill members of the team must all be elders, two currently serving on Session and two who have previously served. Andy Padvorac and Jim Peterson were selected from the current Session and Bob Brichoux and Elaine Weltz from previous Session classes, and these four were formally approved by the Rose Hill Session at their October meeting. Seattle Presbytery identified the other four members of the team: Luke Crook a Pastor at West Side Presbyterian Church, Sandy Hacket a pastor at Lake City Presbyterian Church, Linda Enkema an elder at Bellevue First Presbyterian Church, and Paul Harvey an elder at Overlake Park Presbyterian Church. Paul Harvey has recently had to withdraw from the team and has been replaced by Neil Bolkcom, an elder at First Presbyterian Church of Kent.

The four Rose Hill team members met twice in November to discuss our roles and how to move forward with discernment. The full team attended the November Session meeting, which was our first opportunity to meet each other. The first meeting of the full team was on December 16th, during which the Rose Hill members brought the presbytery members up-to-speed on some of the Rose Hill history and shared some of our thoughts from our earlier discussions. During that meeting the full team agreed on an approach and a series of steps to move through the discernment of Rose Hill’s denominational relationship. Those steps will begin with a congregational meeting on January 18th, after which all members of the Rose Hill congregation will be contacted for input and discussion on our denominational affiliation.

The information gathered during those contacts will be compiled and then shared and discussed with the congregation in a future meeting. The information and congregational discussion will guide the Discernment Team in developing recommendations for Rose Hill church. More details on these steps will be shared with the congregation at the January 18th meeting.

The approach and steps planned by the Discernment Team follow the intent, but not the exact letter of the Seattle Presbytery

policy. As the first church to use the new policy, the presbytery leadership has allowed us to adjust and tailor our specific steps to meet our congregation’s situation and needs. The presbytery will then use our experience to guide possible future revisions to the policy.

As we move through this time of discernment, the team asks for your continuing daily prayers for our congregation, elders, pastor and staff, and the Seattle Presbytery, and for guidance for all of the team members as we all seek to understand God’s will for His church at Rose Hill.

Neil Bolkcom, Bob Brichoux, Luke Crook, Linda Enkema, Sandy Hacket, Andy Padvorac, Jim Peterson, and Elaine Weltz

FinanceThe responsibility of the Finance Committee includes oversight of RHPC financial and business documents. In 2014, the Committee took several actions to improve the completeness and accuracy of our records.The accounting software used by our Treasurer, Linda Muilenburg, to track and generate finical information utilized by staff, Session Committees and to file reports with the Sate of Washington was updated. The updating of business critical software is necessary to maintain the performance and utility of the program.

At the recommendation of the 2013 Financial Review of accounting practices and concurrence of Session, Rose Hill Pre-School financial record keeping has been incorporated into the RHPC’s accounting and record keeping process. This move provides the pre-school with with the same financial information and support as enjoyed by all other RHPC programs and activities. Linda has worked with our Pre-School Directer, Karin Darragh, to facilitate this change.

Finally, Pam Risinger-Hurte and Danny Shaeffer completed a video inventory of the significant contents of the Church. This inventory creates a permanent record that can be used in the event of a loss for which an insurance claim must be filed. Copies of this inventory have

- 17 -

been placed at the church and at several secure outside locations.The Fiance Committee would also like to recognize the attendance and contributions at our meetings of Danny Shaeffer, Leslie Thompson, and Pastor Brian.Respectfully ,Byron Byrne,Chair; Pam Risinger-Hurtre, Elder.

Fellowship & DiscipleshipFellowship and Discipleship committee was formed in June of 2013 “to foster and promote fellowship within the church body at Rose Hill, and to provide for the nurture and growth of that body as disciples of Christ both individually and corporately, preparing us all for works of service in Christ’s name.” Ministries at Rose Hill church that fall under the purview of Fellowship & Discipleship are:• Adult classes• Fellowship Group Ministry• Men’s Ministries• Women’s Ministries• Senior’s Ministries• Piece Makers and Prayer Shawl Ministries• Monthly Social Hour• Summer Worship Coffee Hour• Rose Hill Scholarship Committee

Most of these ministries have their own leadership in place, and our committee provides Session representation and budget support and oversight for them.

One of these ministries is for our Fellowship Groups, and it is undergoing a change in leadership. The committee and I thank Roy McIntosh for his faithful service as the coordinator of fellowship groups at Rose Hill for a number of years. Roy stepped down from this position during 2014 and we are searching for a replacement. Meanwhile, the fellowship groups continue to meet as they have been, but there is an opportunity for someone to enhance this ministry at Rose Hill by acting as the new coordinator. Please contact Jim Peterson if you are interested in helping our church in this way.

The ministries for which the Fellowship & Discipleship committee provides direct

leadership are adult discipleship classes and fellowship activities, which includes social/coffee hours. These two ministry areas – adult classes and fellowship activities – underwent significant change during 2014 to support the new schedule of worship services and have been the focus of most of the committee’s work during 2014.

Our biggest fellowship event during 2014 was once again the Christmas Banquet, which was a success and well attended (praise the Lord we didn’t have a power failure this year). Our thanks go to Men’s Ministries (especially chef John Hart) and Women’s Ministries for all their help with food, decorations, and set-up. The committee did not achieve our goal of 3 major fellowship events during 2014, but we do have one planned for the end of February 2015 – a 3-day Film Festival to set us on the path of increased opportunities for fellowship in the coming year.

The most significant change in fellowship activities during 2014 was a shift away from a monthly Social Hour to a less formal weekly Coffee & Fellowship time every Sunday before, between, and after our two Sunday morning worship services. This change was intended to help maintain the fellowship connections amongst our Rose Hill family, regardless of which worship service we attend. We began this in early spring and it took a while to work out the kinks, but the popularity of the fellowship time has increased through the year, and as of December we have a cadre of folks who prepare the coffee and snacks each week on a quarterly rotation.

The adult discipleship classes also underwent a significant change when the new worship service schedule began in January, creating the opportunity for classes at both the 9:30am and 11:00am times on Sunday morning. The Bereans class led by Steve Smith remained at the 9:30 hour through June, when their study of Romans was completed. Bereans then went on hiatus for the summer and in September began a study of the Book of Revelation led by Linda Holbrook. This class will continue well into 2015. Also at the 9:30am hour starting last January Bob Lovett led a new adult class on “Keys to

- 18 -

the call of God,” that was completed in late June. After a break for the summer, this class was followed by a new discussion class “More than a Headline,” that each Sunday examines the news of the week for practical application of scripture and Christian principles. More than a Headline is continuing for the first quarter of 2015.

The class formerly known as Boomers and led by Andy Padvorac took on a new name at the end of 2013, The Outreach Lab, and moved to the 11:00 o’clock hour, continuing until October when it went on hiatus due to low attendance. Also during the 11:00am time Gwen North led an eight-session class during March and April on “The Hurried Home,” using a video and discussion format. Beginning in January of 2015, Karin Darragh will teach a class on Spiritual Family Formation during the 11am class time.

There have been several other ideas suggested for new adult classes, both on Sunday morning and mid-week, and the committee is considering a number of these for 2015. To date no mid-week class concepts have fit well with other mid-week church activities and so none have come to fruition. Sunday morning class attendance during the 11am hour has also been very low during most of 2014. The committee is working with Pastor Brian on a proposal to survey the congregation attending both services regarding their interests for future adult classes.

The Fellowship and Discipleship committee members are Jim Peterson (elder & chair), Bob Lovett (elder), Jane Peterson, and Steve Smith, with Pastor Brian attending whenever he can. There is a lot of potential for fellowship activities and adult classes during 2015, and we could use some additional members on the committee to help us pray about, plan, and organize them. If you would like to be a part of promoting fellowship and discipleship at Rose Hill, please contact one of the committee members to let us know of your interest.In His Name,Jim Peterson, elder and chairFellowship & Discipleship Committee

Mamie Kimbal Mission HouseThe Mission House was basically under utilized this year but we did have some interesting people who stayed short term. John and Shelley Bailey stayed in the house while they were here saying their goodbye’s. John and Shelley were with Wycliffe Bible Translators (Mexico branch). Ken and Kathy Keyes and their two boys were next. They serve with WBT in Central Asia. The last family was Scott and Tonia Berthiaum and daughter Emma. They were with WBT serving in Mexico. They are now heading to Dallas where Scott will work with SIL, a branch of WBT. There was no major work done on the house this year. Respectfully submitted, L.K. Gesell

MissionsWith 2014 having just wrapped up, your Missions committee would like to take some time and thank you all for your support and prayer throughout this year with the missionaries and many ministries that we have been able to support.

2014 Changes: Rose Hill began supporting three new missionaries in 2014: Jim and Gina Nie, Matt and Elizabeth Van Wart, and Karen Erickson. John and Shelley Bailey, who Rose Hill has supported for many years, retired in April and are currently residing in Tucson, Arizona. In May, we were able to celebrate their retirement with a party honoring them and their many years of service in the mission field.

The Missions Committee asked our sponsored missionaries to share their current ministries and any prayer opportunities for the Rose Hill congregation. Below is a synopsis of their responses.

Dan & Peggy Agee: Dan and Peggy were sent by Rose Hill over 30 years ago. They are members of Wycliffe Bible Translators and serve in Mexico. After 30 years of working on translating the New Testament into two Mazatec dialects, Dan and Peggy are now serving in a bigger mission of Bible translation by helping with the administration of all the Wycliffe work in Mexico. Dan is currently the Director of the Mexico Branch and Peggy serves as his assistant and Coordinator for Language

- 19 -

and Culture Learning. It brings them great joy to hear of the lives of the Mazatec people that are being changed by God’s word in their heart language. They are so thankful for the partnership of Rose Hill in this important ministry. The church is helping make it possible not only for the Mazatec people to have God’s word in their own language but also many other language groups in Mexico as well.

Sarah Agee: Sarah’s connection with Rose Hill goes back to her grandmother, Anabelle Jacobsen, long time Rose Hill member, and through her parents, Dan and Peggy, who have been supported by the church for over 30 years. Sarah works with Viña Studios in Guatemala writing scripts and lessons for a series of children’s videos made with finger puppets as the actors. These videos are made in Spanish and translated into various indigenous languages, many of which don’t have a Bible translation. Having returned to Viña after a year and half absence for graduate school, Sarah has had many exciting projects to work on. She is especially thankful for an Ecuadorian woman who is currently writing the script for a video about Naaman and the little servant girl. Also, she is thankful for a Kaqchikel (Mayan) friend who is helping write lessons to accompany the video about God and his people in the wilderness. Sarah asks that you pray for inspiration in these creative projects and also for wisdom about how to balance her time (she has also been making a lot of trips to Guatemala City to visit friends). Also pray for the future of Viña regarding funds to complete the Deditos videos and for a project she came up with called “Operation Little Fingers” which enables kids in VBS to learn about and give toward Deditos.

Jack & Nell Chinchen: The Chinchens have been supported by Rose Hill for almost 45 years in the mission field in Africa with the African Bible Colleges. They are currently in the United States because of the Ebola crisis in the area of the Liberia Campus, which is closed indefinitely. The Malawi campus has several continuing projects for additions to the college, an academy and a medical clinic. Also, a campus television station continues with preparations to go on air in 2015. Rose Hill

sent funds in November to the Malawi campus for fuel to power the generator to keep the radio station on the air to help keep people informed and educated on the current situation regarding the Ebola outbreak. Larry & Andrea Cicarelli: Larry and Andrea are supported by Rose Hill through Wycliffe’s translation efforts in Eurasia. Larry and Andrea and their two young girls serve in sensitive areas in the Middle East working on Bible translations in creative ways that speaks to the hearts and minds of the people they live among. God is doing an amazing work in this part of the world through the indigenous converts to Christ who are able to communicate God’s message of salvation from within the culture and social setting.

Tara Cox: Tara works for Operation Equip India (OEI) and is involved in launching a new disability friendly primary school in Hubli, India. The school will encourage critical thinking skills, experimental learning, and Bible teaching, a very different approach from most Hindu learning schools which encourage rote memorization and do not integrate children with disabilities. OEI also completed a boys residential hostel and kitchen (the girls residential facility was already built) making it possible for boys and girls with disabilities to stay at the OEI Center while receiving medical treatment, education, job training, and spiritual services. Tara has also recently worked on: a project bringing Awana to over 100,000 children in at least seven African countries; a project bringing food, water, medical supplies, Bibles, and shelter to Kurds fleeing the advance of ISIS near the Turkish border; serving Syrian refugees in Beirut; and a project bringing the Gospel and medical care to detained Latin American orphans at the U.S. border.

Dave & Joan Cram: The vision of Wycliffe Bible Translators is to see God’s Word accessible to all people in the Language of their heart. To accomplish this, Wycliffe works primarily through its partner organization, SIL International, to facilitate the translation of Scripture into languages where it doesn’t exist. Dave serves as SIL International’s Corporation Treasurer and as Chief Audit Executive for worldwide operations. Joan serves as his assistant and

- 20 -

together they help Wycliffe and SIL achieve this vision by maintaining good financial integrity. Pray for the internal control reviews this year, for safe travel and health for their volunteers, and that they would be a blessing and be blessed as they interact with the staff of the various offices they visit. Please also pray for volunteers for 4 reviews that are not staffed at this time.

Ray & Angie DeLange: Ray and Angie are serving the English speaking community of Guadalajara, Mexico. The beginning of November marked their family’s sixth year in Guadalajara. They have a diverse, international body of English speakers with many different needs that worship at their church, and they are continually welcoming newcomers and saying goodbye to others as most foreigners are here on a short-term basis. Ray and Angie’s two largest areas of outreach are: 1) the international medical school where they began a chapter of the Christian Medical and Dental Association to reach students and 2) the federal immigration office where they operate an information booth in English that gives them access to most foreigners living in the Guadalajara area. They have two general prayer requests: 1) Discipleship--that they would be able to minister to the needs of those who profess Christ and help them grow in their walk with Him; 2) Evangelism-that God would be working in the hearts of the people they come in contact with and provide open doors to share the Gospel with them

Karen Erickson: Karen serves with Wycliffe Associates at the International Academy of Saint Petersburg, Russia as a fourth grade teacher and head of the elementary school. She has the privilege of fulfilling the Great Commission to reach many nations in one school building as they have 12 nations represented at her school. She also has had the privilege of serving the missionary community by teaching their children, giving their parents time to minister here in the city and the surrounding environs.

She also teaches children of the business and consular communities. The school has just moved into a new six floor school building (the old school just had 3 floors) and they have

just over 130 students in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. She has appreciated the prayers these last few months as they finished their time in one school building and transitioned into the new school building. “God has been so faithful and worked many miracles in these past 5 months.”

Jim & Gina Nie: The Nie’s are in the process of relocating to Papua New Guinea with Jim’s official title as Boat Operations Manager in Wycliffe’s Asia-Pacific Region. He is responsible for assisting with boat deployment, training, safety, and scheduling. He will analyze other remote areas and recommend transportation plans and procedures. “Our ministry is to grow the maritime program here in PNG. Translators and linguists need to travel via water (open-ocean) to reach the remote islands and currently use local transportation of various kinds. This often results in death-defying situations with no safety features in place. Our role is to help establish reliable routes and provide safety and communication gear and train travelers how to use them. As new boats prepare to come online to help with this transportation need, we will hire local captains and crew to operate the vessels and then oversee the boat operations and scheduling.”

Gina’s role will be that of home school teacher for their two children, Colton and Niki. They have been in Papua New Guinea (PNG) wrapping up the in-country training required by Wycliffe. It consisted of 12 weeks of Pacific Orientation Training that included living in the remote bush of PNG with a local/national family. It was a true learning experience through which they gained understanding and compassion for PNG! They currently are completing their administrative-type training in Ukarumpa (Wycliffe HQ in PNG) before they return to their boat in Honolulu and complete the voyage to the PNG area.

Bill & Julie Odom: Bill and Julie said “We thank YOU, Rose Hill family, for your support and prayer for us in this ministry over the years!” They have had the privilege of making audio recordings of Bible translations with native narrators, thus getting the Word of God out to people groups in their heart language in a form

- 21 -

they can use and understand. Their upcoming projects include an audio recording of the New Testament in the Havasupai language from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Currently living with their family is the widow of the native Navajo Bible translator and she is helping with the work in the Navajo language. Please pray for much fruit in the lives of the hearers of the Word.

Matt & Elizabeth Van Wart: Matt and Elizabeth’s ministry for 2014 consisted of preparation for the work ahead and sharing their vision with others in an effort to raise financial and prayer support. To help prepare them for ministering in Uganda, they have been reading books picked out by their World Venture leadership. Matt has also had the opportunity to attend John Hopkins School of Public Health’s Summer Institute of Tropical Disease. They have had the opportunity to share their plans with churches and people literally from coast to coast. They look forward to 2015 with anticipation, as this is the year they will raise the remainder of their support and will move to their new home in Mbarara. Please pray for people and churches to join their team in support through prayer and finances.

The Missions committee was able to support African Bible College with a gift of $1850 in their effort to keep the college radio station in operation with monies to buy gasoline for their electric generator. The radio station is an important piece in the communication difficulties that have complicated the Ebola epidemic. We also gave a gift of $1650 to Wheelchairs for Nigeria funding 11 self-pedaled “tricycles” out of bicycle parts. These vehicles absolutely transform the lives of polio victims who are severely handicapped giving them a future and hope with a life with dignity. These gifts came out of the Missionary Undesignated budget.

We would like to thank you for the commitment you have given and continue to give to the missions of this church as we move forward in 2015. Our prayer for this New Year is for guidance as we continue to listen and discern God’s will in the area of Missions for Rose Hill.Missions Committee: Bob Harshbarger,

OutreachWe have been using the phrase “pre-Christian” to convey that all people start as unbelievers, and God uses “events” to turn their hearts to Him. Some of my events were Bible stories as a child; Sunday school teachers and youth leaders; a junior high school retreat; a friend who told me I was going to hell; and a church that showed a Christian movie one summer night. The work of your Outreach Committee is to help Rose Hill increasingly be in the middle of God providing these “events” to pre-Christians in Kirkland. In 2014, these events included:

New Visitor Follow-up; delivering homemade banana bread, church info and the love of Jesus to people who visit a worship service, usually 1-2 weeks later! This is a wonderful illustration of the friendliness between the Rose Hill family!Coin Laundry Outreach; is talking with strangers

- 22 -

about faith in Jesus while putting quarters in their washing machine. Countless blessings occurred to laundry customers and Rose Hill volunteers during these impromptu discussions of faith in God.

Summer Outreach Movie, “The Cross and the Switchblade;” several of the “guests” who attended came because they saw our advertising sign on their way to Costco! And Rose Hill volunteers who came to help were blessed by the movie’s message!

Church Logo Adopted; the logo was designed to enhance our disciple making by being simple, memorable and leaves some of the message untold so it invites discussion. You can read into the logo that: it is simple, like the Gospel is simple; it is round, like the world that the Son of God died for; people are a work in progress (the circle and the “H” are cut off); Rose Hill is coming out into the community (the RH is coming out of the circle); and the graphic is contemporary (is has a “cool” factor). Rose Hill volunteers wearing the shirts are routinely asked, “So what does RH stand for?” which provides a great opportunity for a conversation about faith. [show logo graphic]

Christmas Music at Safeway; on the first Saturday in December, about 20 Rose Hill members performed four hours of music at the grocery store on 85th Street. We had choir, bells, brass and piano. Customers were excited, taking movies and pictures, the manager was pleased to have this in his store, and all the volunteers had a blast!

Personnel2015 has been a year of transition for RHPC with the departure of two full-time staff members , Associate Pastor Doug Raney and Children’s Ministry Director Wendy Markham.

Christina Hunt Osborne has been hired on an interim basis to be the Youth and Family Ministry Director.

Gwen North has been hired on an interim basis to be the Children and Family Ministry Director. Two Search Committees are working to fill these positions on a permanent basis.

This year also saw the completion of a revision of the Personnel Manuel; a document which spells out such things as vacations, hours worked, study leaves, etc. Copies are available in the library.

Members of the Personnel Committee work as a group on Personnel Administrative matters of the church. We also liaison individually with each staff member.Ron Lince—Chris Seifert—Roy McIntosh

RHPC Scholarship Fund ReportThe Rose Hill Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund was established in 2008. The Scholarship Fund is governed by a four-member board, and one member of a three-member selection committee is elected annually at the Annual Congregational Meeting. By-laws are available for viewing on request. The first awards were made in 2009.

The purpose of the Rose Hill Presbyterian Church Scholarship is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the promotion of higher learning in students who will take the Gospel into the world through ministry, mission, and industry. The scholarship is available to members of Rose Hill Presbyterian Church who are pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies at accredited institutions of higher learning. Applicants will demonstrate:

A desire to spread the Gospel through their • participation and leadership in church ministries and missionsThe capacity to succeed in their further • educationA well-rounded life•

Donations to the fund are accepted at any time throughout the year, and are expected to be above and beyond members’ regular tithes and offerings. The amount available for distribution is determined prior to the annual Congregational Meeting, and the number and denomination of scholarships will be announced at the meeting, as well as being posted on the website. In addition, any questions will be answered and information provided as requested.

- 23 -

Each year since its inception, awards totaling $1500 have been made. In 2014, one scholarship was awarded to Mary Lovett. Mary is majoring in Music Pedagogy at Whitworth University, with a minor in psychology.

The selection committee is composed of three members serving staggered terms. Members are selected by the Nominating Committee. This year’s committee included Nancy Hartnell, Suzanne Pippel, and Nancy Knight.

The governing board members are Syd France, Brian Hackwith, Brad Hurte, and Jeanne Harshbarger.

Scholarship applications are available on the website, and are due to the office on March 31st, 2015.

Worship and Music It has been an exciting year. With two services and new sound/projector upgrades, things have been very busy for those who do the “behind the scenes” work that make our Worship services possible. I wish I could list all of the volunteers who give of their time and energy, but there is not enough room here to do that. But I will list those who have said “yes” to be the leader/ coordinator of the different “teams”.

As you can see, we still need someone to help with changing the banners for the different times of the church year. So if you feel God nudging you, please don’t be shy to step forward. In fact, most of the “teams” need more helpers to keep the load light for all. With the two services, it’s hard to keep everything covered.Of course, we don’t want to forget Tim and Elaine for all they do with the choir and bells. Rose Hill has been truly blessed by their work.

Youth Ministries The Youth Committee was presented with some big changes, challenges and opportunites to witness what God had in store. We reluctantly accepted the resignation of Pastor Doug Ranney as he felt the Lord’s leading to pursue a different career path. We honored him, thanked him more than words could express, and said farewell.

This left us with the challenge of finding someone to lead and love our teens. We are so thankful that Christina Hunt was willing and more than capable to step up to the plate and fill the position as Interim Youth Director. Even now, Christina continues to serve in this role as we continue to seek God’s direction and leading in what a permanament decision should be for this position.

We are thankful that Christina’s husband, Paul Osborn has been available to be the strong, Christian example to the young men in the Youth Group, as he has become a faithful leader on Sundays, Wednesdays, and the new Friday Night Hang-Out. Others have also come along side this couple to help lead the Middle School and High School groups.

With the changes taking place in leadership, also brought changes in style. The Youth

Ministry has put on a fresh face with a remodel of their space, bringing it new and current. This helps the kids to see in a tangible way, that they are valued and a priority at Rose Hill.

The particulars of the new types of study, opportunities to meet, activities to participate in, and hopes for the future of the youth can be read in the staff report from Christina. The committee is dedicated to following Christ’s leading for the best future for our Youth.

Program Reports

Bible StudiesLadies of the Lord (LOL)We are a women’s Bible study group that meets weekly on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11:30 in the church library. We have shared leadership and take turns bringing a morning snack. Our focus is JESUS as we study, fellowship and pray together. In 2014 we finished a study of JAMES, and one titled LIVING BEYOND YOURSELF, both by Beth Moore. Then we began studying PETER, which is the study we are currently in.

If our name LOL brings a chuckle to you, we need to let you know that we do have tears of laughter and at times mixed with tears of sorrow as we love each other with the Love of Jesus in all circumstances of life. If you are interested in joining us please contact Barbara Lince at 425-883-0740.

Friday Morning Women’s Study of EphesiansWe meet Friday mornings at 9:30 for Bible study, prayer and fellowship. This large group of ladies meet faithfully to study God’s Word.

We praise God for His continued blessings as we study together and we welcome those who would like to join us in our studies.Love in Christ, Barbara Clark

LibraryThe library is being cared for by Janet Hargett and Kristin White. Janet and Kristin have gone through about 80% of the books in the library. All that have not been checked out for 10 years or more, with the exception of classics and Bibles, are being removed. We plan to reorganize the shelves that contain research materials such as concordances and periodicals in the upcoming year. We also hope to purchase a few new items and begin to publish updates and snippets in future Messenger Newsletters.

Fellowship GroupsFellowship groups (FG’s) continue to be a vital part of the life of RHPC. FG’s are small groups of 6-12 people who meet on a regular basis to share God’s word and to grow with one another in their Christian walk. The primary purpose of the group can be Bible Study, prayer, a specific activity such as quilting, hiking or a support group. All have Christian fellowship as a cornerstone objective. Brochures titled Small Groups, which is the same as Fellowship Groups, are available in the Narthex. Approximately 150 people participate in one or more group.

Roy McIntosh has resigned from the coordinator postion. Fellowship Groups come under the organization of Fellowship and Dicsipleship Committee so if you’re interested in joining or beginning a new group, speak with Jim Peterson, Elder overseeing F & D Committee.

PieceMakersThe RoseHill Piecemakers donated 57 quilts in 2014. Ten more quilts are ready for giving in 2015. We are grateful that most of our fabrics are donated. We do purchase batting from our budget to complete our projects. In December, 2014, our sewing machine was serviced for $185.00 In 2014 we have also helped complete a quilt for Pastor Doug and Mary Beth Raney. The quilt top was done by Mary Beth and we are completing it and having it quilted to their liking. We continue in fellowship and giving to those in need of comfort as we have been doing for 25 years! Respectfully, Linda McIntosh

Prayer Shawl MinistryThe Prayer Shawl Ministry is a small group of knitters and crocheters who meet monthly to make soft, warm shawls and to fellowship together. We usually work on our shawls between meetings, also. In addition to our monthly meetings, we enjoy other fellowship times 3-4 times a year.

The shawls are presented to individuals undergoing life crises – medical, grief, etc. – as a tangible sign of God’s love, protection, and comfort. In 2014, we distributed 8 shawls to Rose Hill members, attenders, and extended family members. These included three for

Contact Linda Holbrook, 425-968-2570, if you are interested in joining the group, donating funds, providing yarn, or know of a person who would benefit from having a shawl.Linda Holbrook, Coordinator

Rose Hill BrassThe Rose Hill Brass Ensemble is a small, enthusiastic group of musicians living out Psalm 150 to the best of our abilities by playing the best instruments in the world (in our opinion anyway)! This year, we added flute to our group, thanks to Samantha Ellis. Brad Hurte (Trumpet), John Hart (Trumpet), Jim Peterson (French Horn), Clark Ellis (Trombone), and Tim Weltz (Euphonium) round out our group. As always, we’re looking for more to join us - we’re not nearly loud enough!

Rose Hill Preschool Rose Hill Christian Preschool has enrolled 47 students this year. Our students come to us from Kirkland, Bothell and Redmond. As our world becomes more diverse, the preschool student body reflects that diversity as well. Families from literally around the world are here, China, Japan, Mexico, Lebanon, Korea, as well as from all over the United States! This year we have students that speak 6 different languages. Yet, in spite of these differences we are all children of God, loved and saved by Jesus Christ. Everyday we are able to celebrate God’s creativity just by being together!

Our staff this year includes: Gwen North, Lexie Calvo, Lisa Nystrom and Nick Darragh. We are all committed to Jesus and understand that we are each called to love and nurture each and every child that comes to us daily. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing group of people to work along side each day.

Rose Hill Christian Preschool is becoming unique in the fact that the spiritual aspect of our curriculum is not separate from the preschool curriculum. Instead Bible stories and prayer are integrated into the very life

of our program. Each weekly unit we teach includes Bible stories and Godly principles. For example, when we teach about weather, the Bible stories reflect God’s presence in the midst of weather, such as: Noah, Jesus calming the storm, Paul’s shipwreck.

Our students are then able to begin to understand that God is ever present in every aspect of their daily lives. We are also learning our letter sounds through a curriculum called, Zoo Phonics. Each letter has an animal name and movement that introduces us to the letter sound. So far we are up to the letter G! By years end the entire alphabet will be taught. Our students love the songs and movements that we use to teach phonic awareness.

We continue to invite our preschool families to the life and activities here at church. Many of our preschool families have so enjoyed events such Carpenter’s Workshop and Vacation Bible School in the past and look forward to these events each year. With the addition of our new early modern worship service we pray that some of our families will feel lead to become regular attenders.

This last fall Love and Logic parenting classes again offered with 7 families attending a total of 7 sessions. Most of these families needed childcare which was provided by Gwen North and Kristin White. I am also looking forward to teaching a Sunday School class for parents beginning in January.

I would ask your prayers for us as we work daily with children and families. Our hearts desire is to be a reflection of Christ in how we care and nurture, teach and encourage. We know that as our students grow up they may not even remember their preschool experiences, yet, the foundation of knowing that Jesus loves them can last a life time and beyond. Pray with us that the seeds of God’s truth and love will be planted in each little heart that comes our way.

In Christ, Karin Darragh, Director/Teacher

Seniors This year the Senior Group averaged about 55 people at the monthly luncheons. The luncheons are held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month from October through May.

For our annual trip in June, we went to Chihuli Garden of Glass for a tour, followed by lunch at Ivar’s Fish House. We are very blessed to have so many of our group help with all our activities.Mary Lou Roetcisoender

Teacup MinistryTeacup is a ministry to widows and unmarried, adult women in the church. We support each other throughout the year by providing rides for those who no longer drive, sitting together in church, going out to lunch after the church service, and checkin in with each other.

Some of our best fun comes when we all do something fun as a group. This year we held a baseball themed party, complete with stadium menu and the movie, “A League of Their Own.” Our annual group event is to attend a hosted tea at Brittany Park Retirment Center. It’s fun to see all the different styles of tea-cups, as everyone brings their own!

Our plans for the upcoming year is an Orchestra Concert at Kirkland Performance Center and other events that will appeal to all of us.Thank you to those have helped us this year.

Women’s Book ClubEvery four to five weeks, we meet on a Monday night in different homes. (Not July or August) 8-10 ladies enjoy discussing a wide variety of books and elicit some lively discussions as we share the leadership in reviewing the books. Sue Mateer, Coordinator

Women’s MinistriesEach year the Women’s Ministries Committee prayerfully plans the events of our year with the goal of encouraging the women of Rose Hill Church in their spiritual growth through Bible Study, Fellowship and opportunities for service and outreach. This year we based our theme on the study of “Twelve Extraordinary Women,” by John Mac Arthur.

At our Kick-Off meeting in October, Jeanne Harshbarger led us in the study of Sarai (Sarah) and we spent the afternoon making hats and scarves for the women of “Mary’s Place “ a women’s shelter in Seattle.

We were blessed to have Meredith Westerside, share with us the story of Anna who was “God’s Faithful Witness to the birth of the Messiah” for our Annual Christmas Candle Light Dessert. A special thank you to Hailey North and Lissa Taylor who shared their musical talents with us as well.

Still to come are a Card making afternoon on February 7th, our Annual Spring Tea, and the high light of our year, the Women’s Retreat will once again be held at relaxing Rainbow Lodge.

Your Committee: Judi Byrne, Barbara Clark, Kendra Kleeton, Sue Eddy, Charlotte Grant, Jeanne Harshbarger, and Chris Seifert.
