Zurich Citizens News, 1976-12-01, Page 23Presbytery sets budget Huron -Perth Presbytery of the United Church set its budget figure at $31,064 for 1977. Rev. Donald Beck, Hen- sall, head of the finance com- mittee, presented the financial breakdown of the eight divis- ions and committees at a meet- ing in Ontario Street United Church, Clinton, last week. The 1977 total represents an increase of approximately $4,000. The new budget works out to $1.60 per resident mem- ber, an increase of 35CC. It was stated that there were 19,283 names on the roll, a decrease of some 360 members over last year. Largest recipients of funds were Camps Bimini and Mene- setung of $9,500. The Division of Communication's budget was the largest at $5,285. Singtime from CKNX-TV and the new Resource Centre at Mitchell come under this arm of Pres- bytery. Under a new format commit- tee meetings were discontinued during presbytery to allow for a more creative and interest- ing session.;, Committees met prior to presbytery. Highlight of the all -day session was a special presenta- tion of the Division of Mission by Revs. Barry Robinson, Thames Road, Bruce Guy, 'Dashwood and Glen Wright, Exeter. A role-playing situation portrayed the problems that arise in the church when people with different approaches attempt to share their positions. Draft budget prepared Huron County Engineer J. W. Britnell is presently preparing a draft budget for 1977 consisting of the normal maintenance items plus the road and bridge con- struction items as approved by County Council in their long range construction plan. The draft is expected to be ready for the December session of County Council. According to Mr. Britnell the recent early snow storms have caused a strain on the 1976 budget but his department still forecasts that all projects can be com- pleted within the original budget and finish with a small surplus. A six per cent wage increase, across the board, was approved for employees of the County Roads Department.

The second part of the role-playing illustrated two people with different ideas, both of whom are interested in the other's position. Rev. Bruce Pierce, Crediton led a vocational presentation in which several clergymen told of their experience leading to the ministry. The purpose was to help clergy and laity be more perceptive in their encourage- ment to others to enter the full- time work of the church. The Mission and Service committee reported that 1975 givings to the local fund was 861.75 per member in the presbytery while Mission and Service received $15.75. The committee urged a more equal committment. Presbytery approved the following pastoral changes; Rev. James Reddoch, Bayfield, postponment of retirement; Rev, John Stinson transfer from Toronto Conference to List- owel; Rev. Harold Dobson, Dungannon -Nile, change in pastoral relations in June 1977 and a call to Rev. Wm. J. Moore to St. Marys from the Manitoba Conference as of July 1977.
