Kirk Session News – January 2023

Reverend Eric Foggitt and the Elders of St. Andrew’s meet up on average 10 times a year to discuss Church matters and take consensual decisions. The business discussed is treated with absolute discretion. However, to lift an imaginary veil of secrecy, we would like to give you a glimpse of what happened at the last Kirk session in January.

Organisation of the Burns Supper on 21st January was a key point on the agenda. A very special event to further cohesion amongst church members, especially after 3 years pandemic-related interruption. The evening represents one of our major fund-raising efforts. Beneficiaries were the Ladybrand children’s hospice in South Africa which we have supported for 20 years, Ukraine and our own Emergency Fund.

As usual, various pastoral matters were discussed, one of the recurrent items being members of the congregation who are unwell and how we can keep contact and help out, always whilst strictly ensuring privacy for everyone whom we care for.

A further item was the preparations for the visit of the International Presbytery in March. Ministers and elders from as far away as Sri Lanka & Bermuda, as well as various corners of Europe will be meeting here in Brussels. St Andrew’s will be the host this time.

We continue to need new volunteers for various jobs, not only to help with coffee/teas at the church, flower rota, but also to help with some admin jobs and organisation of church events. Please do not hesitate to contact any elder to offer your services.
