GATHERINGS
Elma Harlow joined the choir of Knox PC in Georgetown, Ont., in 1936 during the reign of Edward VIII, following her seventeenth birthday. Now in her 99th year, Elma has retired from the choir after more than 81 years of faithful service. Seen here on January 21, 2018, are Elma, Pat Leigh (secretary of the choir), and the Rev. Steve Boose. Cake was served in the Lower Hall following worship, of course!
The Session and congregation of First Presbyterian Church in Pictou, N.S., recently welcomed these young people into Commu- nicant Membership by Profession of Faith, under the direction of elder Vicki Campbell. Pictured above are Myles and Klorissa Farnsworth, Chris MacDonald, Clerk of Session, Luke and Kelli MacDonald, the Rev. Lorne MacLeod, Interim Moderator.
The Presbyteries of Halifax & Lunenburg and Pictou held a special meeting led by the Rev. Dr. Clyde Ervine regarding the study and report documents from Church Doctrine and Life and Mission Agency about Human Sexuality. The group gathered at St. James, Truro, N.S., in early January.
Presbytery and Synod clerks gathered for the biennial Clerks’ Consultation from April 6–9, 2018, near Toronto. The clerks discussed a wide range of governance issues and learned about resources that are available for the benefit of ministers and congregations. Worshipping, eating and laughing together, while developing connections with one another, are some of the pleasant aspects of the consultation. Missing from the photo is the Rev. Richard Seong-Keun Kim, Clerk of the Presbytery of Eastern Han-Ca.
