Prince Edward Island Presbytery met on the evening of
February 28 at Cornwall United Church.
Some highlights follow:
1.
The meeting opened with a worship of word, music, and prayer.
2. Gloria Churchill spoke about the theme for this year’s Maritime Conference Annual Meeting, which is “Living Faithfully in the Midst of Empire, A Call to Community”. General Council has resources available so we can learn more about this issue.
3. Carolyn Francis reported that the official opening of Camp Abegweit’s new lodge will be on June 22. Camp registration forms are available on the Presbytery web site. An all-ages camp, “Earth - Our Home”, will be held in June.
4. Shirley Affleck (Christian Life and Growth) read the names of the people who have applied to Intermediates at Conference and Youth Forum. A motion was passed to give each candidate $50.00.
5. Wally Ellis (Education and Students) reported that a number of discernment committees have been active. He highlighted the issue of isolation for students - local congregations need to keep in contact with the students.
6. Carol Pippy presented the annual report of the United Church Women and Ed Pearson submitted the annual report of the United Church Men.
7. A motion was passed approving the 2008 budget.
8. A motion was passed to forward, with concurrence, to Maritime Conference Executive, a proposal titled General Council Process.
9. Two motions were passed to forward two proposals, with concurrence, to Maritime Conference; one concerning a commitment to rural congregations, the other a rural ministry committee.
