The Numbers

The congregations of Appin and Trinity United Church met this morning to discuss the idea of worshipping together in the new year. The results of the respective votes were quite decisive.

In Appin, 16 voted "Yes" and 33 voted "No".
At Trinity (Glencoe), 36 voted "Yes" and 4 voted "No".

What this means is the proposal will not go forward and that things will continue as the status quo. As for next steps, we are not sure what will happen. The questions of why people voted as they did and what might be other suggestions to consider need to be answered.

The respective Sessions of the churches will re-evaluate and re-group as we continue to seek new vision for our mission in Southwest Middlesex. If anyone has ideas or input, contact any Session member, or leave a Comment below.
