At a properly called and duly
constituted meeting of the Congregation of Arrochar Parish Church
held in Arrochar Parish Church on Wednesday 25th. September, 2002
It was unanimously agreed:
1. that the
congregation enthusiastically agrees to become part of a Parish
Grouping with the congregations of Kilmaronock-Gartocharn, Alexandria
and Luss
2. for a pilot period
initially of five years, noting that this Parish Grouping will be
served by the Ministers of Alexandria and Arrochar with Luss and by a part-time
member of staff who may be a minister.
3. that the
congregation agrees the change of status which a Parish Grouping entails.
4. that the
congregation rejects any proposal to enlarge the Parish Grouping to
include the other congregations within the Vale of Leven; noting that
the communities served by the two groupings are intrinsically
diverse, that the mission opportunities are substantially different
and that the congregations of Luss and Arrochar look to Helensburgh
rather than the Vale for educational facilities and for local
government services.
5. that the
congregation enthusiastically embraces the opportunities for mission
and for Christian service brought about by the introduction of the
New National Park.
