Inverness-Guysborough Presbytery

The September meeting was held at Alexander Grant United Church, East Lake Ainslie. An interesting report of the activities of the pastoral charge was given by Cathy MacLean. The treasurer, Dave Chapman, reported that $1,000.00 had been sent to Tatatmagouche Centre. This completes our commitment of $500.00 per year for three years to assist with renovations at the Centre.

The Moderator, Rev. David Giuliano, visited our Presbytery on September 15th. There were two sessions (afternoon and evening) held at Cameron Hall, Whycocomagh and both were well attended.

On October 19th, a covenanting service was held at West Bay United for E. Wayne Yorke, DLM. There was a good representation of Presbytery members and members of West Bay Pastoral Charge.

The October meeting was at Wesley United, Guysborough. The Rev. Heather Manuel requested that anyone interested in, or knowing of anyone interested in assisting with Intermediates at Conference at the Annual Meeting in May 2009 to please contact her.
