meal and a great way to catch up with friends from all over Europe that we
haven’t seen since the last meeting. There are always some new faces as
Presbytery Elders change and new Ministers are inducted. The Rev. Laurence
Twaddle from Geneva was at his first meeting since his induction in February.
At our Communion Service on Saturday morning, the Rev MacLean sang our Call
to Worship in Gaelic, and although I don’t have any notions of Gaelic myself, I
found it very moving. After Worship it was back to business and the reports
from the various Committees.
I will not go into all the business, but you will find the Presbytery Newsletter
and Deliverances on the Session notice board.
I will just report that there was a Youth Presbytery meeting held in Budapest
from the 17-19th of February and which three of our young people attended.
Many of you will have heard their enthusiastic report in church soon after their
return. The next Youth meeting will be held in Lausanne next year at a date yet
to be decided.
Sunday Worship was an uplifting service enthused with the contribution of the
Joyous Singers who warmed our hearts and had our feet tapping with their
Gospel singing. There was another delicious meal to share with the
congregation and enjoy fellowship with church members before leaving to go
our separate ways until we meet again in Malta this October.
