Session
Meeting Days: As assigned
Meeting Time: 7:30 to 10:30 pm
What happens:
The Session is an elected and ordained ruling body within the local congregation. Currently we have 15 Elders active in the Session. They are as follows:
Sue MacArthur Norm Terry Shirley Francois Dolina MacLeod Donna Frame Ruth MacLeod Anthony Wong John Hall Judy Ste Marie Karen Hamilton Alice Stephens Ann Hopkins June Stevenson
Elders have been given the responsibility to oversee all aspects of the Church. Session delegates the physical aspects, i.e. buildings to the Board of Managers, and finances to the Treasurer. This frees the Elders to concentrate upon the spiritual needs of the congregation. Each elder has a list of families to oversee. They target four visitations per year, usually prior to Communion. Elders also serve on various committees involving the Mission, Worship, Instruction, Fellowship and oversight of the Sacraments. Session is accountable to the Presbytery of Pickering. Session meetings, due to the confidentiality of the topics, are closed to the congregation.
