(from Secretary, the Rev'd Alan Knight)
Regrets: Shirley Sewell, Dawne Thomas & Kathy Noble
Opening and Welcome – Jane Cartier
The Rev’d Kristen Oliver presented a reflection on Psalm 15.
Did You Know?: Jane Cartier on the activities of Bishop Ed Leidel & the Rev’d Len Meyers on VIVA programme in St. James, Wallaceburg & the Essex Deanery coaching team led by the Ven. Kim Van Allen.
Minutes: Moved by Harvey German. Seconded by Paul Millward. Approved

Treasurer’s Report: Moved by Harvey German. Seconded by Shirley Cudmore. Approved.
Archdeacon’s Report: Presented Who Is Your Neighbour conclusions to Deanery.
Synod Motions: 5 motions reviewed.
Refugee Update: $7,500 received from 3 deanery parishes of $15,000 needed.
Deanery Budget: Rondeau $2500.00; CLAY $400.00; Youth Delegate to Synod $200.00.
Following the break, we split into two discussion groups
With the cutting of Regional Funding, what are our priorities in Kent Deanery?
- The lay group agreed that the first priority is to keep an Anglican Church presence in Rondeau Park.
- There was some agreement, but not unanimous, that our second priority should be refugees.
- Most were in agreement that workshops should be held every three to five years.
- The clergy reported they had similar discussion to the lay results.
NEW BUSINESS:
A motion was presented to allot up to $1,500.00 of Deanery funds to Grace Church, Rondeau, provided that the Parish try to raise the funds before accessing this money.
Moved by Harvey German. Seconded by Simone McGuigan. Passed.
It was suggested that we hold a Grace Church day at every Church in the Deanery where the loose offering would be sent to Grace. The Grace Church treasurer reminded everyone that parishioners could also designate offering in their envelopes and therefore get tax receipts for their givings.
The Deanery requested that the Grace Church, Rondeau treasurer send monthly updates to the Deanery webmaster so all members will know how the fund raising is progressing.
Grace Anglican Church, Rondeau, P. O. Box 1812, Blenheim, ON, N0P 1A0
