Session
Job 12 : 12
Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.
The Session
The Session at Montreal West United Church is comprised of the Elders. Elders are members in good standing who have been elected to the Session by the congregation. They serve for 5 year renewable terms. In terms of Pastoral Care, Elders are assigned to a visiting district so that each individual or family on our records has an Elder to whom they may turn in addition to the Minister. Session is responsible for Communion, as well as for approving requests for Baptism, Confirmation and Marriage that take place within the Church. It is also responsible for maintaining the Rolls, i.e. the list of members and adherents in the congregation. As a body, Session may advise the Minister, the Presbytery and General Council on such matters as may be brought before it.
