Prince Edward Island Presbytery met on the evening of November 27, 2008, at South Shore United Church, Tryon.
Some highlights follow:
1.
The
meeting opened with worship led by Rev. Karen MacLeod-Wilkie.
2. Christian Life and Growth Committee: Shirley Affleck reported that there are applications for the Youth Forum at General Council in Kelowna, B.C. in August, 2009. The deadline for applications is January 22, 2009.
3. Finance and Property Committee: A motion was passed giving consent to Murray Harbour Murray River Pastoral Charge to proceed with Phase Two of their church development. Another motion was passed approving a resolution for Camp Abegweit to arrange for $175,000 in bridge financing.
4. Faith in Action Committee: Ernie Stavert reviewed the Presbytery Agriculture Awareness Event that had been held earlier in the month. A motion was passed accepting recommendations on this issue. Recommendations include developing worship resources, a letter writing campaign, and hosting an Atlantic meal.
5. Stewardship Committee: Pam Reidpath reminded the court that all pastoral charges will have received their Mission and Service forms. She also reminded us that M & S donations need to be submitted as soon as possible after the end of the year.
6. Carolyn Francis gave an update on Camp Abegweit. The camp has received some government money for erosion control, Ducks Unlimited have created three ponds, and the old lodge is being demolished. She invited all churches to make banners for the dining hall. She encouraged all churches, U.C.W.’s, and other groups to donate to the operating fund so that the camp can continue to offer low rates to campers. Camp Abegweit now has an endowment fund. The camp is now looking for staff for the 2009 season.
7. The nominations for Chair-elect were left until the February meeting.
8. The 2009 Presbytery budget of $118,785.00 was passed.
