The Presbyterian Church Property Trustees: On the table in the Foyer are copies of a ‘Special newsletter” to be made available to the congregation. Comments or Objections can be made to the Assembly Executive Secretary. Further copies can be emailed or picked up from our Church Office.
The review has identified a number of older trusts where it has become impossible, impracticable, or inexpedient to carry out the purpose of the trust, or the amount of trust property is inadequate to carry out the purpose. Sometimes these are known as ‘frustrated trusts’.
Schemes set out in this newsletter propose changes to the terms of trust, while remaining as close as possible to the original purposes, so that funds can be released and put to practical use in support of the Church’s mission. In some cases, once the funds have been applied, the trusts will be wound up.
The newsletter contains public notices for nine trusts the Commission of Assembly are processing through the mechanism provided in Part 1 of the Presbyterian Church Property Amendment Act 1996.
Harvest Table – Just a reminder: We resume on 15 November so look out for bargains. We are raising funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. We look forward to any contributions you may have to bring along each Sunday, and encourage you to purchase an item for a donation. Thank you.
