stated anual meeting

We have our stated anual meeting tonight at 7.30pm. This meeting is a legal requirement for all charitable organisations. The elders and members of our Board require to approve the anual accounts which our treasurer Julie Douglas will present. Despite the hard financial climate we have continued to develop the ministries of Hilton Church, and over these past few months we have embarked on major projects to install solar panels and disabled accesses. We are grateful to God for the resources and the people we have been blessed with over the past 12 months.

These meetings are generally very spare in terms of attendance, so we'll see how many turn up tonight. It's Mike Robertson's final meeting as Chairman. Mike has been an outstanding chairman and we will miss his good humoured leadership of our meetings and activities.

It takes a great deal of commitment to lead the financial and property dimensions of a congregation's life. We are very grateful to Julie Douglas (treasurer) and Alan Brown (property team leader) who along with many others, have given so much time and effort to the life and witness of Hilton Parish Church.
