Working Groups


Church Meeting

A meeting, open to all members of the church, is held about 8 times a year to agree on the general policy of the local church. Recently, under the auspices of Church Meeting, 5 working groups have been set up to take forward the ideas in our Vision Statement.

The next Church Meeting is scheduled for 11.30am on Sunday 19th September, 2010, in the Rear Hall following Morning Service.

Elders’ Meeting

Elders are nominated by the Church Meeting from amongst the membership. They are ordained for life and elected to serve for specific periods, usually 3 years at a time. Their principal role is to share with the Minister in the pastoral care of the members, adherents and young people in the congregation and to co-ordinate the work of the five groups. Currently Summertown URC has 7 serving Elders and 8 non-serving Elders. The photograph shows 4 serving Elders, Don Moss (sadly now deceased), Margaret Broadbent (representing St Peter’s PCC), Ian Scargill, Beryl Knotts and Jean Stolton, meeting in Beryl’s sitting room.

The next Elders meeting is scheduled for 10.00am on Thursday 9th September, 2010 at the Manse.
