Cornerstone No. 192, page 6
In other committees, Finance noted that the Stewardship and Finance of the
CoS were very slow to respond to the Presbytery’s questions about Mission and
Renewal and the lack of stewardship support for congregational Treasurers
within the Presbytery.
The SKL was commended for the hosting of the Youth Assembly in Lausanne
and a short presentation was given by two of the participants. The Rev Eric
Foggitt was recommended to congregations as a resource in speech training for
Bible readers and the leading of prayers.
The Saturday night evening meal was held in the Officers’ Mess close to the
hotel. This splendid building is the Naval Officers’ Mess and the food was served
by serving marines! We had a delicious meal in grand surroundings and were
serenaded by one of the Lisbon Elders accompanied on the piano by another.
We were most grateful to the Session and organisers of this meeting who
showed us a warm welcome and generous hospitality.
On Sunday we were “bussed” into Lisbon for the Worship service in their lovely
church which was followed by a very tasty and copious buffet lunch.
The next meeting in October is in Amsterdam.
Sylvia McKillop, Presbytery Elder
