Session Clerk

Julie Meggat has been our Session Clerk since January 2023, after taking over from Elma Farr.

Responsibilities

The office of Session Clerk is a requisite of every congregation. To the minister she is his official contact. To the congregation, she is the link to the minister. To the other office-bearers, she is the co-ordinator among them.

Her main duties are: to oversee the functioning of the Kirk Session; to be concerned with the welfare of the congregation; to have a working knowledge of the church’s practice and procedure.

She will call and prepare for Kirk Session meetings in consultation with the minister; keep the minutes of Kirk Session meetings; attend to the correspondence of the Kirk Session and church; be responsible for all records of the church (Minute Book, Communion Roll, Supplementary Roll and Baptismal Register). She must submit all congregational records to the Presbytery annually for attestation.

She should keep her eyes and ears open as to what is going on in the congregation, bringing any relevant concerns to the minister’s attention.

She liaises with Kirk Session Conveners concerning their Kirk Session work. Preparation for communion is also within her remit.

During a vacancy she is responsible for overseeing the administration of the church in consultation with the Interim Moderator. When the vacancy is filled, she must consult with the new minister and implement his wishes as appropriate.

In the event of a union, she must ensure that all members feel part of the united congregation and are not excluded in any way.
