Vacancy related matters
At its meeting on Monday 26th August, the Kirk Session discussed the feedback received regarding the composition of the Vacancy Committee which was appointed on 15th July.  While the committee was appointed in line with the practice followed in previous vacancies, the Kirk Session accepts that the appointment of the Vacancy Committee should be made at a congregational meeting. 

In anticipation of the Sustentation Fund Schedule being approved and the Development Plan being available, the Kirk Session has agreed that a congregational meeting will be held on Wednesday 18th September 2024 at 7.30 pm in the Seminary.  At this meeting, the Sustentation Fund Schedule will be presented for approval and a Vacancy Committee will be appointed. 

As Elders, we are committed to securing the full scope of congregational interest in filling the vacancy.  We encourage everyone to make it a matter of earnest prayer as we move forward with the process in the long-term interests of the gospel.
