ie KIRK SESSION REPORT 1977 i

Once again there is much for which we must be thankful as we
review the events of the past year.

On behalf of the congregation, we extend our appreciation to all
who have done so much for our church during the year: the organist;
the choir; the Church School staff; the ladies? groups; the Board of
‘Managers; Mrs. M. Mitchell, our typist; Mr. and Mrs. George Locker,
our caretakers; and all others who serve in their own way and remain
nameless. We extend also a special thanks to all who have given of
their worldly goods and moral support to the efforts of the church.

In 1977 our congregation accepted a figure of $2,500.00 as our
contribution to the General Assembly Budget through the tred side? of
the weekly offering envelopes. By the end of the year we had remitted
$2,931.46 to the Treasurer of the Presbyterian Church in’ Canada, in
Toronto. We commend you for your effort and encourage you to accept
and surpass the suggested allocation of $3,000.00 in 1978. -

The annual plant sale was.a successful venture under the able or-
ganization of Dr. Bob Stinson. The proceeds were forwarded to the
Board of Managers to be used in the work of our church. A special
thanks must also be extended to Mr. George McAlpine who faithfully
watered and tended the flowers planted at the front of the church by a
number of session members on the day of the plant sale.

It.is with regret that we note the resignation fron Session of
Mr, Alastair Fairbairn and Mr. Ken Eccles. Both men have served
faithfully for a nunber of years and will be missed by their fellow
elders. We mst note also that Mr. Eric Smart and Mr. Ray Currie

have been given the status of ®inactive elder? for a period of two
years. Both men retain their status as elders and members of Session
but are relieved of their duties at their request.
