Trustees Annual Report (continued) Achievements and Performance Session Clerk's Report The East Mainland Church is, first and foremost, engaged in Christian witness. This could mainly be described under the heaings of Acts of Worship, Teaching and Pastoral Care in the East Mainland parish. There is Church Law and Procedure which governs the way we operate. Our financial affairs must also comply with the regulations handed down by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator After years of church rennovaions and vacancy we are now in a period of more normal conditions. It is reasonable to expect that our church building will not need much in the way of maintenance for some time. The manse and garage had repairs done on them during the last year. There is always a need for the church to interact with the wider community. The event which we chose in 2015 was a Flower Festival, over a weekend in September.This served more than one purpose; we benefitted from the expertise of other tallented individuals who put together a spectacular display of flowers on different themes, bringing in those who would not normally be within the building, and also it had a financial benefit for the church which more than compensated for the cancellation of the East Mainland Show where we would have met the public and sold food from our stand. It is always challenging to devise original verntures for our congregation. We are reliant on those who support our different groups in the congregation, whether the Guild, Suday School or choir. It is they, along with our Minister and office bearers, who make the congregation what it is. - Session Clerk Sunday School On 22 March the Sunday School held a sale of Easter cards and provided teas and waffles after the service. The fantastic sum of 119.75 was raised for Sunday School funds. The prizegiving was held on 21 June, we had the bouncy castle up in the Sunday School room to mark the end of term. For the flower display on the theme of peace which was held in September in the kirk we decorated a tree with white paper doves. For the Christmas service on 20th December we were looking for something a bit different. The idea of doing a puppet nativity was suggested. So we found a script and started making puppets. and were the narrators, and read the parts of and the angel, and read the parts for the shepherds and the wise men and helped with the puppets. We also sang Let s Go and Let s Jump with Joy. - Sunday School Teacher East_Mainland_Church_Receipts_Payments_Accounts_2015 4 03/03/2016

Trustees Annual Report (continued) The East Mainland Guild Many thanks are due to all 13 Guild members who have worked diligently throughout the year. Thanks go not only to the office bearers but to all members for their support of the Guild in so many ways. Meetings have included the Guild Theme for the next 3 years (Be Bold, Be Strong), with the material for 2015 entitled Go in Peace. Our monthly meetings included a talk on the Prison service, illustrated talks on Malawi and Poland, Yoga, Patchwork Quilting and Songs and Poems of Peace by our own members. In April it was good to meet together with Birsay, Harray and Sandwick Guild in the Milestone church. J OLM spoke about Peace and War and spoke of his love of flying. The Summer Rally was held in Orphir church when representatives from the Guilds in the county heard the address given by. The East Church was host to the Winter Rally when from the International Justice Mission gave a presentation. The Festive evening was a fine evening of food and friendship and entertainment by members. The annual Carol Service was held in the Holm Hall. The children of St Andrews School, with their headmaster r, performed some excellent singing and fiddle playing accompanied by their music teacher,. As always our Guild would welcome visitors and new members. The Guild encourages both women and men to commit their lives to Jesus Christ and enables them to express their faith in worship, prayer and action. All are very welcome. President, - Secretary. Messy Church Review During 2015 we had between 10-15 children at our Messy Kirk meetings. We had a range of different crafts and stories relating to different themes each month. Our one project was to make a banner for the kirk which was made by silk waxing which proved to be a very enjoyable task. We ended our session in June with a visit from and the ambulance. kindly came out and told us about his job and then we got to see inside the ambulance and hear what the sirens sounded like. - Co-ordinator East_Mainland_Church_Receipts_Payments_Accounts_2015 5 03/03/2016
