CHURCH NOTICES:
Presbytery - and presbytery plan:
'The congregation of Upper Clyde is cited to appear for its interest at a meeting of Presbytery called for the specific purpose of receiving and approving the draft Presbytery Mission Plan for the Presbytery of Forth Valley and Clydesdale.
As Upper Clyde is in the South Area we are cited to attend the meeting to be held on Monday 2 October 2023 at 7pm in Dalziel St Andrews Church, Motherwell and online.
Please note that at its meeting on 18 June 2022 the Presbytery agreed that ‘For practical reasons of space, determine that no more than three representatives of each of the cited congregations may appear at these Presbytery meetings seeking to achieve concurrence in the Mission Plan. For the avoidance of doubt this number is in addition to Presbyters’ and that ‘remote internet access be provided for any members of cited congregations to the Presbytery meetings on Mission Planning, in order to maximise accountability and participation in the process. For the avoidance of doubt, beyond the three nominated representatives of each cited congregation, this remote access to the meeting will not open up permission to speak.’
The representatives from Upper Clyde attending the meeting in person, at Motherwell, on behalf of our parish are: Dee Yates, Willie White, Heather Watt, and the Minister. If you have any comments or questions you wish raised, please get in touch with one of them before the meeting on 2 October.
To this end, if you wish to join in discussion with folk from Upper Clyde, Douglas Valley, and Cairngryffe parishes to reflect on the proposed plan, there will be a meeting online this week. Please get in touch with Nikki, Dee, or Janice, and we can send you the link.
