Prince Edward Island Presbytery met on the evening of February 24, 2010, at Winsloe United Church.
Some highlights follow:
1.
The
meeting opened with a worship, led by Rev. Eric Lynk, of prayer, music,
and word. Rev. Dr. Arthur Davies presented certificates to some
of the people who had completed a Racial Justice Training workshop.
2. The secretary, Sheila Gallant, reminded the court that the names of all Presbytery and Conference delegates must be submitted to her no later than March 23, 2011. She also reminded all pastoral charges to submit their Mission and Service Fund objective forms.
3. The Finance and Property Committee presented a motion to change the travel allowance rates. After debate, the motion was referred back to the committee.
4. Jim Blanchard spoke on behalf of the Church Extension Board. The Board, which was established in 1964, has carried out a particular role in assisting new churches being built and existing ones being refurbished. Table groups discussed whether the Board should continue in its existing role, or whether changes should be made. Results of the discussion were submitted to Jim.
5. The Nominating Committee reported that Elaine Palmer-Harding is the chair of the Pensions Committee.
6. Karen MacLeod-Wilkie, Faith in Action Committee, presented an information sheet showing the portion of grocery stores’ purchases from Atlantic Canadian suppliers.

7. Nigel Weaver, Christian Life and Growth Committee, announced there will be three Godly Play workshops on the Island this year. The Committee has met with the Camp Abegweit Board, and a joint task force will be formed.
