Presbytery Notes
Welcome to the Presbytery of Gordon. We hope that you will enjoy your time as a member of Presbytery and that the following notes of guidance may be of some use and will enable you to play your full part in the work of Presbytery.
Presbytery Meetings: Presbytery meets for ordinary business at the following locations. Presbytery starts promptly at 7.30pm except in June when it begins at 7.00pm. September, December, February- Presbytery meets in Inverurie West Church. October – Tough Church November- Ellon Church March- Inverurie St Andrews April – Foveran May – Meldrum Church June – Udny & Pitmedden Presbytery welcomes students for the full time & auxiliary ministry, readers and trainee readers usually at the June meeting of Presbytery, which is always preceded with the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Special meetings of Presbytery are arranged by appointment of Presbytery or are called by the Moderator and intimation by email will be given in such cases. General Elders are encouraged to serve for an initial period of three years to enable continuity and understanding of the procedure of Presbytery. Elders and retired ministers can claim travel expenses for their attendance at any Presbytery business. Travel claim forms are issued at the September meeting and may be submitted at any time. Ministers claim their travel costs from their congregations. Conveners of Committees can claim travel costs for extra travelling in the course of their work as Conveners. Members of Presbytery are reminded to sign the Sederunt sheets at every Presbytery meeting. Presbytery members will receive a booklet Remits to Presbyteries that contains items sent down from General Assembly. Although not used every meeting it is advisable to bring this with you at every meeting as items from it are discussed throughout the year. The Presbytery Clerk is there to answer any questions on the procedure of Presbytery and members of Presbytery should feel happy to speak to him on any subject. A book of Standing Orders which describe and legislates the way Presbytery is run is available from the Clerk for new members of Presbytery. A booklet Guide to Presbytery is also available from Parish Education

Property Matters
Presbytery Spending Limits Spending limits currently stand at £5,000 for buildings under review and £15,000 for buildings currently expected to remain in use beyond the lifetime of the Presbytery Plan. Such limits were set by Presbytery at the October 2010 meeting following consultation by the Property Committee with General Trustees. (Presbytery Plan revised Nov 2012 changed status of buildings) Repairs to Pipe Organs In May 2001 it was agreed that any congregation who wanted to refurbish their pipe organ at a cost of over £7000 had to get Presbytery permission to proceed and had first to examine the feasibility of a digital organ replacement.
Commissioners to the General Assembly
1. Each Charge is represented by the minister and one elder (not necessarily Presbytery elder) 2. Retired Ministers wishing to be a Commissioner should apply to the Clerk 3. The Clerk may be appointed as a Commissioner 4. General Assembly 2018: 19 May 2018

Presbytery Mission Statement
The Presbytery of Gordon is committed to: - a) Provide and develop fellowship and support to congregations and ministers within its bounds in their work and witness to the gospel b) Ensure proper practice in all aspects of the life and work of the charges within its bounds
Church of Scotland Vision Statement
"The vision of the Church of Scotland is to be a church which inspires the people of Scotland and beyond with the Good News of Jesus Christ through enthusiastic worshipping, witnessing, nurturing and serving communities."
Presbytery Membership
It is hoped that each member of Presbytery will play his or her part in the running of Presbytery. Ministers are expected to serve on two committees, Convenors of Committees serve on their committee and the Business Committee. Elders serve on one committee but can serve on up to two depending upon their interests. Corresponding members are welcome to share in the work of the committees of the Presbytery and should express their desire to serve to the Clerk. Whilst it is common practice for Committees to meet prior to the main meeting of Presbytery, committees are reminded that if any report is to contain contentious or complex material, that information should be sent out in the Presbytery mailing in order that Presbyters can have time to examine the details of the report. All material to be sent out should be in the hands of the Presbytery Clerk a week before Presbytery. If attendance at committee meetings is impossible please submit your apologies to the Convenor in good time.
Data Protection
The Presbytery holds registration for all the congregations under its banners and this registration is broken into four purposes 1. Staff Administration 2. Administration of membership records. 3. Fundraising.
Page 4
4. Realising the objectives of a charitable organisation or voluntary body. Which really covers everything else. It is important that congregations keep the information they gather either on computer or on written file securely and safely and do not hold information longer than is required
Church Discipline
The Presbytery is responsible for ensuring that church discipline is followed, by that we mean the law of the church is upheld and that common practise is followed. Concerns or complaints should be raised first with the Presbytery Clerk who may alleviate concerns with advice or if required will then refer the matter to the Business Committee to deal with. There are guidelines for making complaints and this is available from the Clerk.
