1. Moderator’s Report
Submitted by Steve Bailey, 2016-2017 Moderator
“It has been my blessing and privilege to serve you as Moderator over the past year.”
Your Executive Council listened to God’s spirit of love and desire for community, and appointed in the fall of
2015 three outstanding Committees to facilitate our transition from Jim Chapman to a then-unknown new
Senior Pastor. We will be forever grateful for the careful and thorough work of the Profile Creation
Committee for drafting a Church Profile based upon reliable and comprehensive congregational data
garnered from Dr. Jim Pence’s comprehensive and professional CAT Survey. This year, your Search
Committee carried on that good work, utilizing the Church Profile in sifting through scores of candidates in a
remarkable spirit of service and collaboration. These two committees were comprised of smart and
dedicated people who committed hundreds of hours to serving our congregation, but those commendable
human efforts do not fully account for the process and ultimate results of such efforts. These fine and
faithful people humbly (and at times, not so humbly!) bent their collective ear to the whispering of God’s
loving spirit, and, thereby enriched and strengthened our beautiful congregation of precious souls. We
gratefully acknowledge these fine servants, and we give thanks to God’s glorious love in the transition that
took place this year!
Which brings me to Reverend Anne Cubbage. We found her, she found us, and the Holy Spirit was right in
the middle of it all. Since she came to us five months ago, I have been deeply impressed to observe and work
with Anne. She is a dedicated and authentic person who has undertaken her call with energy, strength and a
servant’s heart. A true pastor. Her cute little red car is in the church parking lot early in the morning, and she
pours her considerable love and intelligence into a wide array of tasks, projects and meetings with a level of
energy that is truly remarkable. She has undertaken a conscientious and thorough effort to reach out to all
four corners of our congregation. She has attended scores of meetings with your Boards and committees
She is undertaking a clear eyed review of the church’s administrative structure. She has collaboratively
worked with Lynn and Marta and the cohesion within our Pastoral Staff has been a blessing to behold.
And Lynn and Marta ain’t chopped liver either! Our Music and Faith Formation Ministries are flourishing. The
excellence of the Worship Services remains at the highest level.
Your Executive Council has collaboratively worked this year to advance BCC’s missions. We are committed to
financial accountability and sustainability. We continue to work on improving church government and the
constitution of your Boards and Committees. In that regard, we are grateful for Dean Quaranta’s diligent
work in the areas of Board and Committee Appointments and communications among and between them.
This report would be many pages long if I were to extol the fine qualities of each of your Executive Council’s
members, so those accolades must await another time. Simply put, it has been an honor and pleasure to
work with each and every one of them.
The new members of the Boards and Committees have dedicated themselves to serving you and the broader
missions of BCC. I I am confident that your combined leadership group will, with your energy, help move our
church forward in expressing God’s love both within our congregation and outside our church’s walls.
2. On a personal note, serving on the Executive Council over the past five years has allowed me to connect with
our church in ways that would have been impossible without such service. I have been loved and nurtured in
the process. My heart is grateful for all of you.
God’s blessing all over your sweet selves,
3. Pastor’s Report
The old adage is that ‘God Loves Us Just As We Are—But Too Much To Let Us Stay That Way’.
Although it has become cliché, our faith narrative bears this out. We as a people of faith are
deeply rooted in history, intensely connected to a God who is desirous of intimate loving
relationships with all the creatures of this earth; and we are called out of our places of comfort,
to face the unknown with boldness and courage. Almost 5000 years ago, a man named Abram
was told to “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will
show you.” (Genesis 12)
Two millennia ago, Jesus charged his disciples with boldness and courage as they left all that
they had previously known in order to “
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have
leprosy, drive out demons.”
And what boldness and courage were exhibited by our pilgrim ancestors as they chose to leave
the Old World: everything they had come to know, many of their friends and some of their
revered leaders including the Rev. John Robinson who charged them to keep open minds, to
listen for God’s stillspeaking voice in even some of the most surprising packages. His
well-known words to them as they sailed towards the New World were, “I am verily persuaded
the Lord hath more truth yet to break forth out of His Holy Word.”
It is always time to ask the question, “Does God have yet more truth to break forth?” To
examine truth in this way will require us to have a great singleness of mind, to move with
boldness and courage. Are we willing to be the church that is ever moving on in the light of
God? Are we willing for God to fill us with the heart and mind of our faithful and righteous
ancestors?
What difference would it make to the community if Broadmoor UCC closed its doors as a
religious institution? What makes our viability important? If we are bold and faithful, what is it
that God has called us to do and be in this time and in this place of our history? John Wesley,
founder of Methodism said, “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways
you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as
ever you can.” Are we living out our life as a church with this purpose in mind?
Broadmoor UCC has a strong history of doing exactly this. This is one of the main reasons
Tammie and I chose you out of all the churches in the UCC. You understand that there is a
special difference between service organizations, missions,. . . and church--You are a church
that recognizes that its relationship with the community begins in its relationship with God—a
relationship exemplified as the ‘body of Christ’. We chose you because you are a church that
understands that as a people of faith we are called out of our places of comfort to face the
unknown with boldness and with courage.
My vision for Broadmoor UCC is that we will be the church that shares God’s love in a vital and
real way with ALL of our community.
4. I know that in order to bring this vision into focus we should increase our knowledge through
study & conversation, grow in our prayer and commitment of time and monetary resources,
and learn to give words to our understanding of God’s love.
In order to bring this vision into focus (to offer God’s love notes to our community) we could:
● Start a satellite church (faith & life conversation) in a non-threatening, non-traditional
space (i.e. soccer field, coffee shop, Cheyenne Mountain Park)
● Become a real presence as mentors in the local elementary school
● Offer a parents night out for the community once a month
● Create an FBI (fixers, builders, and instructors) group to assist people in need, both
inside and outside the Broadmoor family
● Purchase a church van and provide transportation for the seniors in our immediate
neighborhood.
● Become more visible and participatory in the digital community.
I have high hopes and great expectations for us as a church! I am sure that when we look at the
abundance of God’s gifts and imagine what new land God is calling us to move into, that God
has more light and truth to break forth . . . right here in Colorado Springs, right now at
Broadmoor UCC. Let us be bold and faithful as we move forward into the future, sharing God’s
light and truth in bold and courageous ways!
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Anne

9. Board of Worship and Arts
Submitted by Gary Foote, chair
Our Board is currently operating with 6 members: Gary Foote, Chair; Kaye Thompson, Arts Committee;
Pat Cole, Communion Team; Ron Evenson, Ushers; Eric Leeper; and Neika Rosenberger;
Revs. Anne Cubbage and Lynn Hurst serve as non-voting Staff Members, while our Executive Council
Liaison position is currently open.
Our Goal – ONE CHURCH through Worship, Music, and Art
Opportunities – please consider the many meaningful BOW&A activities that can add
to your involvement in and your contribution to our BCC Community.
Here is an update on the activities of the Board of Worship and Arts:
MUSIC MINISTRIES
Under the leadership of Rev. Lynn Hurst, our Music Ministries continue to blossom as an essential part
of our message and worship.
The Adult Sanctuary Choir and Bronze Bell Choir - continue to be a strong, inspirational part of our
worship experience.
Opportunity – new singers and ringers are always welcome in our Sanctuary and Bell Choir families;
you must read music to join the Bell Choir.
Music Interns - while Neika Rosenberger and Stephanie Brink continue to grace our program, this year
we have been blessed with four talented college students -- Josh, Tierre, and two Emilies! With the
occasional return of ‘Intern Alums’ these talented young musicians are a unique and wonderful part of
our church family, both musically and personally.
Children’s Choirs - we celebrate the continued growth in both numbers and talent of our children’s
choirs. Neika Rosenberger brings her unique talents to the younger Cherub Choir, while Lynn leads the
older Chapel Choir and Youth Handbell Choir.
Opportunity – introducing your children, grandchildren, or friends/ neighbors’ children to the
wonderful world of BCC Music, changes young lives and strengthens our church.
Senior Bell Choir - meanwhile, our older Church Seniors continue to pursue the joys of ringing.
Opportunity – step right up and give this a try!
10. The BCC Concert Series - Lynn continues to develop the year-round musical programs that mark
Broadmoor Community Church as a musical center for our community. While performers enjoy the
unique environment of our Sanctuary and the Glen for their concerts, we in turn get to enjoy talent from
these groups -- the Chamber Orchestra, Youth Symphony, Abendmusik, and others -- as part of our
Sunday Services.
Opportunity – we need volunteers to help set up, serve, and spruce up after Lynn’s concerts –
especially for the SIX outdoor Glen Concerts this Summer.
Music and Arts Camp - continues to grow as a community beacon attracting young families and
introducing children to the magic of music.
Accompanist Dan Scherling - is an essential part of our services and our music groups.
USHERS
We offer great thanks to Ron Evenson and our dedicated crew of regular and substitute Ushers/
Greeters for their truly faithful service. Our Ushers/ Greeters at each Service, and other events, are an
essential part of the ‘welcoming spirit’ that is a tenet of Broadmoor Community Church. Ushers also
assist in the serving of Communion to those unable to come forward.
Opportunity – we are seeking additional regular and substitute Ushers; this is an ideal way to meet
other members while serving your Church, so please consider joining us either as an individual or as a
family.
THE COMMUNION TEAM
Assisting our Pastors in the preparing and serving of Communion is a dedicated group consisting of
Lynne Proctor, Norman and Pat Cole, Peg and Joe Hunter and Mary Elizabeth Miller, under the watchful
eye of Charlie Coon.
Opportunity – we encourage more of the congregation to join this group and to participate in this
essential and meaningful church sacrament.
THE ARTS COMMITTEE
Our wonderful church art collections continue their strong historic role as a unique and inspiring part of
the Broadmoor Church experience. This past year saw the Arts Committee, under the leadership of
Thelma Peck, working closely with the Staff to integrate our art displays with church/ worship themes.
Opportunity – would you like to know more about our Collections, the Artists, and our Exhibits? Step
right up and join in the fun!

Staff member: Rev. Anne Cubbage
Executive Committee Liaison: Dean Quaranta
Since January, there have been six new members. With Anne Cubbage as our new minister we

answer questions and help visitors

Each new member has a mentor who helps guide them towards being comfortable within the
church
● Enhancing our digital presence by using digital advertising
● Having a new member party once a year. Members from BCC boards and committees
are invited to let new members know how they can become involved
● Creating a digital directory
● Helping with Membership 101
Our annual budget is $2000, and as of May, $413.45 has been spent. There will be additional
spending on advertising, the new directory and new member get- together.
This is our annual new members’ get together, with
Rev. Anne and several board members present.
15. Building and Grounds Committee
Presented by Scott Dorff, chair
The Building and Grounds (B&G) Committee is tasked with maintaining and enhancing
the church facility and its grounds. BCC is blessed with a beautiful and spacious site
overlooking Cheyenne Mountain and Big Stratton Reservoir. The Church’s design is
timeless, natural and fits harmoniously with the site.
The committee’s focus for the past year centered on the installation of new lights and
two large scale fans in the sanctuary. The lighting system needed replacement as it was
close to failing, used excessive amounts of power, and produced a significant amount of
residual heat. The heat produced by the lights exacerbated a further problem of heat
retention in the sanctuary during the summer months. With improvements in LED
lighting over the past decade as well as the efficient, aesthetically pleasing design of
recent fan technology, the committee was approved to move forward with this
multi-phase project. Substantial savings in power consumption is expected from the
new lighting system and the fans should bring significant relief to the heat of the
summer.
The other important event of the year took place on April 1st
when BCC became a victim
of arson. The fire was started just outside the kitchen, causing extensive damage to the
exterior of the building, additional damage to the kitchen area and smoke damage
through out Otto Hall. Total damage amounted to over $200, 000. At the time of this
report, work was underway to finish repairs by sometime in July 2017.
We, the committee members – Andy Lewis, Gene Sandoval, John Davis, Dave Klunder,
Don Hare and Scott Dorff -- look forward to another great year at this beautiful,
multi-use building.
16. Memorial Gifts Committee
Submitted by Kay Klunder, Chair
The Memorial Gifts Committee administers a fund that provides members and friends of
Broadmoor Community Church, UCC an opportunity to make lasting gifts to the church in memory
of loved ones. The committee consists of five individuals; a chairperson appointed by the
Executive Council, and persons representing the Board of Resource Management, Women’s
Fellowship, Meditation Glen and Arts Committee.
This past year the Memorial Gifts committee purchased the new large fans in the sanctuary and a
new 75 gallon water heater to supply hot water to the Otto Hall kitchen and the bathroom
downstairs as well as other locations. We also made a donation to Urban Peaks at the request of a
family member and purchased a printer for office use to make CDs of services.

18. Women’s Fellowship
submitted by Ginny Rosinski
The Women’s Fellowship group is open to any women of the Church and their friends and
meets from September through May. We hoped that we would have programs that
would attract other women in the Church to attend our programs but this was not as
successful as we had hoped.
In September, we had a good group for lunch at the Golden Bee. In October, Alice
Beaton’s daughter, Gail Beaton, returned to our group and did an excellent job portraying
Sara Platt Decker, who was involved with women's clubs and their legacy (public libraries,
national & state parks, hospitals, etc.). In early November we were involved with a
special show given by the Colorado Springs Chapter of Ikebana for our group and for the
public. The flower arrangements were certainly beautiful!! At our regular meeting in
November, we showed the movie ‘The Gods Must Be Crazy’ which is about “Simplicity”
(the topic of Jim Chapman’s sermons that month). In January we had a White Elephant
Swap, which is always fun. We were honored that Pastor Anne and Tammie joined us for
this event. In February, we decided to learn about Qigong and had Connie Kreider tell us
all about ‘Wisdom Healing Qigong’. In March, Lori Orwig, from Silver Key, enlightened us
on what to watch for to avoid ‘Senior Fraud’. In April, Mary Sue Wildman gave us a very
interesting tour of the Broadmoor, where we learned about the history of the hotel and
its founders. Afterwards, we had lunch at Coal Mine Dragon. We finished our program
year with lunch at Old Chicago.
We helped with several funeral receptions this year for long time members of Women’s
Fellowship.
We enjoy doing what we can for women’s and children’s groups in town. For TESSA
(which serves victims of domestic violence and sexual assault): we filled 48 Halloween
treat bags for the adults & children they serve; we made 30 Christmas cards for their
Christmas Shoppe; we filled 48 Christmas treat bags for adults and 48 Christmas treat
bags for children; we filled 36 Valentine treat bags for adults and 36 Valentine treat bags
for children. We thank YOU for donating the 215 calendars that we provided to TESSA.
We bought 1008 filled Easter eggs for the children of our Church to hunt for on Easter
morning. We gave books to the students graduating from Meadows Park Pre-School. And
finally, we bought choir robes the youth choir.
We continued to make recycled greeting cards for sale near the Fireside Room. Ginny
Rosinski leads these workshops. We do thank the congregation for their generous
donations of card fronts and for buying cards so that we have money to buy the supplies
for the various projects that we do for TESSA, Meadows Park Pre-school and our Church.
Joan Capesius was our banker again this year.
