Pastor Mark’s Report
This year will be remembered as a special year of
celebrating a milestone anniversary at Summerside.
Historical records indicate that, in the early 20’s, a
Sunday School was started in the empty church building
on our property and a group formally organized as a
local church on September 6, 1925 (90 years ago!). This
group eventually started another church, maintaining a
Sunday School at our location. Then, as numbers grew,
they decided to restart the church and on April 8, 1956
(60 years ago), they organized as Westminster Hope
Baptist Church.
So, this year has been an ongoing celebration of our anniversary, with a focus on the theme of “renewal”. The
emphasis on personal renewal was highlighted with 15 baptisms in the spring. The emphasis on a renewal of our
mission was highlighted on our Anniversary Sunday with Dr. Rick Reed preaching, and we raised $25,000 for a fund
to help expand our internship program. Throughout our history, students have gained experience serving at our
church, and we want to continue that tradition and become a blessing to the broader church by providing
experience for future ministry leaders.
Another highlight of the year was the expansion of our summer ministry in three ways. Forest Cliff Camp offered their
new Day Camp program at Summerside to help us serve our community. We offered our own Kids Camp with a
significant number of unchurched children participating. The youth also ran a Youth Camp in the afternoon of the
Kids Camp, giving the youth an opportunity to serve at Kids Camp part of the day and have fun in the afternoon.
The rest of the reports will mention some of those details.
This will be the last report I give as the Senior Pastor of Summerside. In most circumstances, a statement like that
would be a sad one, but in this it is not sad, but exciting. I am excited about the way God has been working in and
through us to help us keep growing and changing to become the church he wants us to be. In the past years it has
become clear, in my mind, that we are growing to the point that I need to make a change in my role to allow the
church to keep moving forward. In the past year, in consultation with the Elders, a plan was developed for me to
transition out of my role as Senior Pastor. I would love to keep serving at Summerside as long as the Lord is willing
for me to do that, but in a different role than the one in which I have been serving for the past 24 years.
At the beginning of the summer, we announced that in January 2017, that the congregation would be asked to
approve Deven MacDonald as the one who will take the role of Lead Pastor of Summerside. At that point, my role
would become that of an Associate Pastor under Deven’s leadership. I am looking forward to continuing to serve in
a role I enjoy and feel better fits my gifts and capacities.

This year will be remembered as a special year in the history of Summerside. Renewal has not only been our theme;
it has been our experience. A number of individuals will look back at this year as a new start in their own lives; and,
as a church, we will look back at this year as the start of a new phase of God’s work in our midst. To him be the
Glory!
Serving Him Together,
Pastor Mark Cuthbert
Property Team
It is time again to thank our team for their work on the property. The grounds have never looked better. The
building is experiencing a few signs of age, but we are able to cope with them.
Work has been done on the roof this summer to address the leaking that affects the kitchen pass-through window
area which has occurred in the winter season. We can now repair the frame around that window with some
assurance that it won't leak again.
Our HVAC systems are now 9 years old and motors and bearings are starting to need replacement.
A lighting upgrade was completed this year to replace all of our exterior lights with LED technology. This has given
us better light levels at a much lower cost in hydro.
Modifications were also completed to the entrance to the baptistery, allowing better flow in and out of the water,
and just in time for our largest group ever baptized at once in April.
Parking capacity has been provided through a lease agreement with Z group to the east of our building. This works
as an overflow to our existing areas. Our front entrance/exit has been greatly improved thanks to the city traffic
dept. through a modification to the median. We are now able to legally exit to the west on Commissioner's Rd.
Thanks to the guys who clean and maintain the inside of the building. With the number of events the happen in the
building through the week, this is an extremely important role. The decorating team continue to do a wonderful
job... in the auditorium, particularly around the stage area.
We thank God for the facilities He has blessed us with, and are grateful for the opportunity to serve in this way.
Blessings,
Ron Harris for the Property Team

Usher & Greeter Ministry
We have great volunteers for the Usher, Greeter, and Welcome Centre ministry. This is the first point of contact for
people who are new to our church, so we are very thankful for the friendly folks who have volunteered to serve in
this important ministry.
There have been many changes in the ministry this year, the primary one being that Nathan Kuenzel, one of our
intern pastors, has taken on this ministry as part of his responsibility. We have had several meetings with all the
ushers, greeters, and welcome center folks, as well we have some new folks added to our ministry as a result.
The Ushers and Greeters are responsible for collecting the offering each Sunday. The Greeters are also responsible
to remain in the foyer during the service to greet and help orient new folks who may arrive late.
If anyone is interested in serving in this important ministry, please talk to Kevin or myself.
Kevin & I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our staff for being so faithful.

Children’s Ministry
Sundays It was my great privilege to take over the Sunday morning ministry reins from Faith in September of 2015.
This year has seen some exciting ministry growth and changes. Because of the growth in numbers, in February
2016, we added another classroom to accommodate the infants and to split up the overflowing classes in the
toddler age range. This brought some staffing challenges, but I am so thankful for an amazing team of volunteers
(new and existing) that stepped up and made it happen for our children and parents! This addition also brought
some relief to the regular volunteers in the overflowing classes and I have heard a ton of positive feedback since.
Also, this past spring, we had five volunteers accompany me to the Kid Builders conference in Brantford. We had
an amazing time and brought back new ideas and more passion for the children’s ministry at Summerside. The
ministry continues to grow with children being added to the list of “regular attenders” on a monthly basis. We now
have approximately 100 children in regular attendance from infant to Grade 2 and many more in Grades 3 to 5.
With this size ministry, administration, ministry improvement, and volunteer support and engagement has been a
challenge considering the time constraints of the position. I look forward to what the future holds as we continue to
both grow as a church and reach out to our community.

Play & Grow: We continue to open our church to babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their parents/caregivers on
Wednesday mornings (September-May). Ontario Early Years staff set up and supervise a craft, painting, and play
dough in our Preschool Classroom and end our time with singing and a story. We had several Wednesdays with
over 100 people attending. We don't count heads, but we can tell by the noise and activity level that we are over
100. Although I (Faith) am writing this report, this ministry is really coordinated by Denise Brown and I. We are
thankful to others who join with us to engage both the children and adults, and make coffee and offer snacks etc.,
5
(Grace Frith & Shirley Collins in particular), and help with the set up and clean up. Please speak to Denise or me if
you would like to join us in this ministry to families. Many relationships have started at Play & Grow and continue
through the years. We are thankful that this positive place to be on Wednesday mornings is known as the best
play group in London. We believe the love of God, demonstrated by Jesus, is evident and powerful.
32 50: This time of Bible learning and application is for children in Grades 3-5. We meet most Sundays, during
the school year, in the Kids Upper Room right after the morning service (11:15-noon). Denise Brown and I lead this
class. After a short time of free play`, we gather for 30 minutes to review the sermon with questions taken from the
Bible passage. Homework is assigned and rewarded with gift cards from Creation Bookstore. The basis of 32 50 is
that as children learn to read, they can be lead by the Holy Spirit and grow as they read and understand God's
Word. So 32 50 is really a Community Group for children in Grades 3-5. We averaged about 9 students each
week.
DC4K: Divorce Care for Kids is a new ministry at Summerside. It's for children, aged 5-12, who are dealing with
separated or divorced parents. Barbara Gordon and I led this group for 13 weeks (January-April). Five children
attended regularly. They each had a parent who was taking the Divorce Care (for adults) class at the same time.
We met on Wednesday evenings (6-8pm) but will be switching to Tuesday evenings (beginning on November 1) for
the coming school year. We were very impressed by the curriculum which proved to be very beneficial for the
children. Ultimately it was the relationships that we were able to develop because of the love of Christ, that
impacted the children's hearts. One child, in particular, was amazed by our Heavenly Father's love for her and
Jesus' demonstration of that love.
Happy to serve,
Faith Cuthbert
Emmaus Youth Ministry
This was our second year running our Sunday night program Emmaus. This year the group formed more of an
identity as we grew together towards knowing Christ. We had anywhere from 20-30 students attending Emmaus
regularly, about a quarter of which do not attend Summerside, and were either friends of students or were
connected through Summerside Youth Camp. These two factors show us that our students feel comfortable inviting
their friends and that Youth Camp was successful at incorporating new students into Emmaus. Our Sr. High group
continues to grow, but our group is dominated by Jr. Highs. Thankfully this has not been a huge barrier for unity
within our group, even though at times it holds the Sr. High group back.
We maintained a level of consistency with attendance that exceeded last year. Each night had a similar schedule,
and we completely separated Summerside NEXT and Emmaus. This year we mainly relied upon our leaders for
teaching, all ages at once, and splitting up for small group discussion and prayer. Tyler Legouffe, Nathan Kuenzel
and myself, all took turns teaching on different topics in our series. We did a series on redemptive history, on our
relationship with God, on love & relationships, worldviews (with guest speaker Scott Stein), faith, assurance, and
perseverance in the book of Hebrews, and the book of Philippians (during camping weekend).
Some of the highlights for the year were successful Jr. and Sr. High retreats. We sent boys and girls from both Jr. and
Sr. High to Bedlam and Sno Camp retreats at Muskoka Woods. Students were challenged to take their faith
6
seriously and to apply to their whole lives. We also had a fun Christmas Banquet and Overnighter that is still talked
about, and was instrumental in incorporating new students into the group. Our first end of the year Camping
Weekend was also a success as we celebrated our year and opened up the Bible together.
Our ministry depends heavily on our Youth Leaders, and they have been amazing this year in steadfastness and
perseverance. Youth Ministry is hard work and our leaders are up for the challenge and take their job seriously.
They continue to build close relationships with our students as we point them to Jesus. We will be looking to recruit
more youth leaders this Summer as a couple of our leaders will not be joining us for the whole year or part of the
year.
Blessings on the journey,
Luke Cuthbert
Adult Ministries
Men’s Ministry
Our men’s ministry continues to encourage and equip men from our church and community to walk in a manner
worthy of our calling from the Lord.
We continue to hold breakfast meetings once a month, open to men of all ages, where good food and fellowship
is shared, along with timely messages from our own men.
In cooperation with the Community Bible Church on Highway 7, we hosted a Promiskeeper’s Workshop in January
with over 75 men in attendance. The half day workshop focused on ‘Anger’ and was facilitated by Bill Innes. Many
men were set free from past anger issues and all were better equipped to handle them in the future.
Thanks to the persistence of Jon Mark Davis, we had a dozen men attend the Muskoka Bootcamp in late
September. Over 100 men from across Canada gathered to have a close encounter with Jesus, and one another.
This was my first Bootcamp trip, and it won’t be my last. I would encourage all of our men to consider attending this
life changing weekend.
Our ongoing support of our Compassion Child, Mario, who lives in Cedro Honduras, was highlighted by a visit from
our own Grace Elliott. She delivered a backpack full of items that our men had sponsored and we enjoyed her
report on the trip early in 2016. We invite you to write to Mario to encourage him and his family.
Pinery Camping -2015
Our annual trip featured all the good things we’ve come to enjoy over the 9 years we’ve been camping together
at the Pinery; lots of good food, campfires, boys of all ages enjoying the dunes, the very cold water, and heartfelt
messages from our own men. We missed a few of our regular guys as we greeted a number of new faces for the
first time. The weather was mixed on Saturday and thankfully, the rain held off until supper was done. God was
present and the more than 54 men and boys went home, longing for next year’s trip. Thanks to Ian Houghton, Kent
Nielsen and a host of others who cooked, cleaned and served one another.
7
With our church focus on community groups, we began a conversation with Pastor Deven on how we can better
coordinate the varied men’s ministry activities and opportunities, while encouraging more men to be involved in
community groups. We look forward to pursuing this in the fall of 2016.
My heartfelt thanks go out to our Men’s Ministry team, Ron Berman, Ian Houghton, Randy Kay and Ron Parfitt, who
faithfully serve the men in our church and greater community.

Men’s Ministry Coordinator
Community Groups
One of the highlights of my year was our fantastic baptism service in February. A number of the people who were
baptized made reference to the impact that their community group and group leaders made in their lives. I am so
thankful that we have gifted, committed leaders who are to helping lead and shepherd our people. I believe in the
value of Community Groups and we are seeing it demonstrated in our midst.
This year, we launched four new community groups. We’ve been doing really well at helping new people connect
rather quickly to a group. This is a significant step in helping people find relationship and accountability. Our groups
have also done a great job at carrying out the mission and being involved in their community. We had some
groups working in care homes, nursing homes, reaching out to new-comers to Canada, and sharing Christ with
friends and neighbors.
One of our Community Groups hosted a Prayer and Worship night at The Glen – a church plant building on
Thomson Road. At this event, nearly 100 people came out. It was a tremendous time of worship and prayer for the
community.
Our group ministry is growing, but we want to see even more people connected. If you are not in a Community
Group, you don’t know what you’re missing! Jesus calls us to grow in relationship with him as a part of a community.
What are you waiting for? Send me an email at [email protected] and I will get you connected.

Summerside Seniors
The fall 2015 season began with a corn roast on September 5.
October 15, the meal was catered by Lucille and Keith MacDonald and a representative from Habitat for Humanity,
Jeff Duncan was our guest speaker.
November 19, was a potluck meal and our guests were Terry and Joan Wiley, missionaries to Pakistan.
December 11, was our Christmas special with Eduard and Christine Klassen providing the entertainment.
A committee meeting for Summerside Seniors was scheduled for September 10, 2015, to plan events for the winter
and spring seasons of 2016. After a lengthy discussion regarding the health and age-related issues and the
8
inability to attract younger seniors to our group, a motion was made to disband Summerside Seniors as of
December 31, 2015. The motion was carried.
We called a meeting of the Summerside Seniors committee for November 10, 2015, to insure that after a few
weeks of reflective thought, the decision to disband was still the desire of the committee. Everyone was in
agreement to follow through with the decision of September 10. 2015.
A suggestion was made that we not completely abandon seniors’ meetings, but cut back on the number of
meetings and scale down their content. Due to unpredictable driving conditions in January and February, no
meetings would be planned. A meeting in mid-March and the Strawberry Social in mid-June would be scheduled.
Both of these meetings were well attended. At the Strawberry Social, ideas were suggested for meetings beginning
in September.

Friendship Circle
Friendship circle has met for several years now at Summerside. We are a group of women who enjoy our crafting,
but there are some women who come mainly to chat and visit. We have formed some close friendships, which has
been the overall focus of the group.
We always enjoy a show and tell at the beginning because we are excited to show off what we have
accomplished in the previous two weeks. Patterns are shared and the less experienced learn from the more
experienced (Carol, Winnie and Denise) and some have the courage to rip out stitches especially if Denise Brown is
present.
Hats, mitts and scarves are still being made for the YFC Streetlight Mission. Also hats and mitts are given to several
public schools in the "Glen "area. Socks seem to be the favourite knitting project and they roll off the needles in all
colours and sizes. Quite often, we all come in wearing our own hand knit socks .
In an attempt to avoid confusion, we changed our meeting from the second and fourth Monday to every other
Monday from 9-12.
Several new women have joined our group and add their own flavour to the conversation . Our last gathering
ended at the end of May and we enjoyed chatting and catching up with events in our lives. More sharing was
done than knitting.
We would encourage anyone who would like to build friendships and have fun with a group of great women to
come out. You would be made more then welcome.

Hospitality
The definition of hospitality is "the friendly reception and treatment of guests and strangers in a warm, friendly
generous way". This certainly is what we try to achieve at Summerside - from the welcome at the door, to the smile
from a friend, and that great cup of coffee . Our goal is to make people feel comfortable and welcomed - and
there are many ways to achieve this from fresh flowers, Dana's homemade baking, special decorating ,tablecloths
and great food. Many people are involved to make this happen. Our new motto for hospitality at Summerside is
LINGER -EAT WELL- CHAT LONG
The best example of this occurred at our last May family meeting. Families sat around tables with plates loaded
high with all varieties of potluck food, visiting with friends, and lingering over dessert. The TV was even turned on for
those who wanted to see the Knights game. A rousing game of basketball was going on outside and the foyer
was like a cozy living room. It felt good and welcoming. I liked the "hospitality" of it all.
Again this year, we recognize the work of Roger and Marilyn Decosse in stocking the kitchen and organizing a
team who prepare the coffee Sunday morning. Thank you for the hours you put in, many of which we do not see.
This year they reorganized the physical lining up for coffee in order to be more efficient.
Also, I wish to thank my team; Ron and Hazel Berman, Ellen Monteith, Dana Orchard, and Herman Meyer. Ellen
Monteith has retired from the team after seven years. We appreciate the time and energy she has spent over the
years. Two new members have been added to round out the team - Carlene Neil and Luella Blakeney.
Sherry Freeman is in charge of overseeing special events when the church is rented. She is the Summerside
representative for these events. Thank you, Sherry.
10
The kitchen is the hub of hospitality and many groups use it on a regular basis. Thank you for returning items,
washing up your dishes, and putting them where they are stored and leaving it ready for the next group. This is so
appreciated.

Worship Ministry
This year was a busy and exciting year for the Worship Team. The goals for the year was to continue improving
consistency and also begin working on sustainability. Consistency has been improved by reducing the number of
songs we do, and putting a slow, but steady, schedule for introducing new songs. Also, the digital sound board
continues to help maintain a standard of sound quality, in tandem with our audio team. We have recently
purchased a new electric piano, which gives musicians and audio techs more control of the sound type, volume
and quality. Visual consistency has also been improved with new lighting, and the launch of a stage design team.
The move towards a greater level of sustainability has begun with bringing on more musicians and worship leaders.
More needs to be done because there are times when a small percentage of our volunteers are taking on a high
percentage of the schedule and workload. The plan is to incorporate more youth volunteers in the worship ministry.
Some of the highlights for the Worship Team included a successful Christmas season. The Christmas Eve service was
a success, and so was Christmas Day. The worship team worked hard to make these days memorable and
meaningful. The same goes with our Spring events as well. This was the first time we hosted our own Good Friday
service at the church, with great success. We found we received a lot of visitors and the service was well attended.
Easter was also a great celebration that went splendidly. Also the anniversary celebration was also a Sunday that
was a highlight for the worship ministry.
The goals for this year are to recruit and train more volunteers for this ministry and give our team a clear mission
and vision that keeps us going. We will also continue to make Scripture reading a priority on Sundays and increase
the number of people are involved in this area, and other areas, in the worship service. The heart of the Worship
Team is to inspire Christ-centered worship, and we aim to do this in everything we do.

Outreach Report
Summerside Kids Camp 2015
Kids Camp 2015 was called G Force. It focused on 5 Action words that helped us to discover that “In God we live,
move and exist.” Acts 17:28a.
The words were Move, Act, Care, Follow and Share. All these things we can do because of God and for God. Our
daily bible stories directed us to learn more about God and how he works in our daily lives.
The gospel message is always the focus of our week as we are able to share the good news with our community.
We had a wonderful week with 85 campers and numerous staff and helpers. This year we had youth from grade 58 join us in helping in the morning as a service project for their own camp they attended during the afternoon. This
also included kids from the community which built a great bridge to our weekly youth program Emmaus.
11
So much planning and time goes into preparing for our week and it is an incredible privilege to serve our
community in such an intentional way. I am very thankful for all of the staff and volunteers that make camp possible.

Fun Fair
The 2015 fun fair was a high quality event with clear signage, large scale attractions (inflatables), and a fun
atmosphere. There were more than 700 people, 40+ volunteers, and the budget was $2750. The event was a
connection between Summerside as a body of believers and the community around it.
The Fun Fair is driven by the volunteers at Summerside. Some people have had a very active hand in the planning
of the Fun Fair year after year. In 2015 Marion Rowe was a huge help in coordinating volunteers and filling in
details that might have been overlooked. She was instrumental in the event’s success. The volunteers were
recruited with a survey 2 or 3 weeks in a row. It was helpful to set up a table to collect names, numbers and email
addresses of volunteers. Asking people face to face and following up with a phone call was also very helpful.
1) Kitchen / Food service: Marion Rowe was responsible for the purchasing of the food. Ron and Hazel Berman
and Randy and Brenda Kay were the food service leads. Transitioning from BBQ to boiling and storing
Hotdogs in heated coolers was done this year and seemed to work very well. Everything was put together
in the kitchen and served from the kitchen window (inside), and the kitchen door (outside). Tables from the
lobby were used as counters to serve from, and collect tickets. Approx. 6 coolers were used with foil
packages to keep the hot dogs warm. Around 10-12 people in total cooked and served food. Having
someone designated to run to the grocery store (before 6pm) to buy anything else is essential. 700 hotdogs
and 700 buns, 80+ Freezies, 66 coke, 66 diet coke, 60 Orange Pop, 60 Cream soda, 60 Root Beer, approx.
650 bags of chips, 120 Juice Boxes, 100 bottles of water. This was a hot day, and the heat undoubtedly
contributed to the increased consumption of drinks relative to last year.
2) Ticket Sales and Greeters: Ian Houghton led this area with his contribution of the tickets, cash float, and
tents. Finding 6-8 people are needed to sell tickets and a few key people were given the task of greeting
people and warmly welcoming them to the Fun Fair with information about where everything was. The
Romphfs, MacDonalds, Harris’, and O’Connell’s were encouraged to float, and engage guests. They also
encouraged people to go and check out the connection table, which explained and described the different
ministries of Summerside while offering a chance to fill out a connection card.
3) Attractions in the building: Abby Lodge led the face painting with 4-6 volunteers. Mark Cuthbert led the
balloon animal making with YouTube how to videos playing in the background. two shifts of 3-4 volunteers
at a time seemed to work. Parents were also encouraged to give it their best shot and interact with
balloons sculpting. Michael Lodge Led with Greg Sheil in the Auditorium. 4- 6 volunteers were needed to
oversee the inflatables. The obstacle course could have 2 at a time enter and the bouncy castle needed to
be regulated in batches of 6-7 for a predetermined amount of time, indicated by a hand bell. Faith
Cuthbert led and organized the Pre-School zone. The south wing is exclusively for kids in preschool and a
great place to connect with parents. Faith recruited all of her own volunteers and set up the wing. The
Gaga Ball pit was a new addition, with many kids able to enter at once. The event was led by a rotating,
and flexible volunteer base that also swapped with outside attractions.
4) Attractions Outside: Luke Cuthbert Led the 9 square in the air, and had a flexible rotating base of youth
volunteers who would swap with predetermined partner groups of inside volunteers. When the kids would
get hot they could swap with a team who was inside playing Gaga Ball. FCC oversaw the spider mountain
attraction. Dorothy Meyer led the car paint (donated by Ian Houghton) with 2 volunteers.
12
5) Set up and Clean up: Everyone who wanted to help set up arrived at around 2:30. Fred Lukianow led a
large chunk, along with Greg Sheil. Having all of the signage set up was crucial so others could know
where to put things. Many people helped to clean up and everything was completed by 8:30 pm. Marion
had the idea to sell the leftover hot dogs in packages to the volunteers.

Clean & Green
Our church continues to participate in the annual city–wide Clean & Green spring clean- up, in partnership with the
CCNL’s (Christian Churches Network of London) ‘Love London’ event. The weather is the largest factor that
determines how much support we receive from the community.
The sun shone and we had a good number of church members and Summerside residents pitch in. We have been
working in conjunction with the Summerside Optimists, who focus on the two parks in the Summerside community.
My thanks are extended to all those who participated this year.
