THE GRACE OF GIVING Be Joyful and Generous! At the Congregation Committee Meeting on Tuesday 10 February we agreed the accounts for 2014. The income showed an increase of 7.4% over 2013 and we give thanks to God for this Blessing. As the tender for the new halls is soon to be awarded we need to increase the existing income by £6,000 per month. For 300 families this represents an additional £20 per month. Please consider how your family can be part of this. The easiest method is by standing order. ALPHA Alpha continues on Monday 23 February at 7.30pm at Established Coffee in the Cathedral Quarter.

(3) In the discharge of their duties each elder should be assigned by the Kirk Session pastoral responsibilities and/or other leadership roles in the congregation. (4) The Kirk Session, along with the Minister, should seek to ensure that all elders are equipped to fulfil their duties. 31. (1) To be chosen for the office of the eldership in a congregation a person must be a voting member of that congregation and a regular attendant on its ordinances. He should be circumspect and exemplary in his conduct, both in the Church and in the world, of acknowledged piety, endeavouring to maintain the worship of God in his family and held in esteem by the people. Women shall be eligible for election on the same conditions as men. (2) A ruling elder shall not hold office in more than one congregation at the same time, except as a member of an interim Session.
