MEETINGS

Meetings are an inevitable and important part of life. At Hilton Church we seek to minimise the number of meetings, and where possible we try to fit as many as possible into the one night. Last night, we had our Congregational Board Meeting at 7pm, the Stated Anual Meeting at 8pm, and after that, the Light House Management Team met! I didn't get home until 10.20pm, but the advantage is that there are no more such meetings until 19th May. We have a fantastic team on the Board. Last night the main focus was on finance with the presentation of the anual accounts by our Treasurer Scott Jeffrey. We have had another very positive year financially with our income remaining ahead of the budgeted expenditure. When one takes into account a mortagage on a manse and all the re-development work on the Light House, that is a magnificent outcome for the congregation.Scott is now standing down from the Treasurers post after 3 years. We are so grateful for his professionalism and wisdom, and also thankful that he will continue to be able to share his skills in this vital area of the church's work.
