Annual Stated Meeting / Congregational Meeting

Annual Stated Meeting
The Annual Stated Meeting of the congregation will be held in the church hall on 21 March 2010 at 12.15pm (immediately following Sunday worship).

After the Annual Stated Meeting there will be a short break for lunch (tea, coffee and sandwiches will be provided) then a congregational meeting will follow on.

Since the congregation last met on 15 November 2009 to discuss property issues, Presbytery have received confirmation from the General Trustees of the Church of Scotland that they will fund an architect-led Feasibility Study into what could potentially be done with our church building and halls complex.

Before Presbytery give approval for the Feasibility Study to go ahead they need to assess our future plans for the congregation in respect of encouraging and developing active community involvement and participation in the building, and outreach from the building.

This is an essential part of the proposed Feasibility Study and it is necessary for these plans to be discussed and agreed by the congregation at this meeting on 21 March, prior to any submission being made to Presbytery.

So please make a special effort to attend these meetings on Sunday 21st March. You are part of the community of God’s people in Barony St John’s and this affects you – both now and in the future.
