Church Board Update

Church Board Update
Two presentations were made at the Tuesday May 8th Board meeting, one on the Remits and one on Multi media and the use of screens in the sanctuary. After presenting the Remits, the Board unanimously voted to have the three doctrinal statements added to the Basis of Union. The other presentation on multimedia was received favourably; with the help of the Property and Faith &Worship committees, we will now develop an in-depth report which will be presented in the fall as part of a Board meeting or a Congregational meeting for approval. Rob Gilhooly, Chair.
