The announcement below was made Sunday, June 14, 2015 at our Worship Service by our Clerk of Session, Kevin Russell. It will be repeated on Sunday, June 21, 2015 according to the proper procedures.
The members of MacNab Street Presbyterian Church are hereby cited to attend worship on Sunday, June 28 for the purpose of hearing a candidate who will be preaching the call for the vacant pulpit. Members are also cited to attend a congregational meeting immediately following the worship, on the same day, for the purpose of discussing and voting approval for said candidate. Adherents are also urged to participate, and will be invited to support the call, if approved. To facilitate all of this, members and adherents are invited to a “Meet and Greet” with the candidate, on Saturday June 27, from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm. This notice is given by the Interim Moderator and the Session of MacNab Street Presbyterian Church.
