Special Thanks to the Clerk!
George Vogel has served as the Clerk of Session at NPC for seven years. This past spring he decided
that it was time to "retire" as Clerk. As such, his last meeting as Clerk was on Tuesday, June 20.
Over the seven years that George was Clerk he took minutes at countless Session meetings as well as
at meetings of the congregation. The Clerk is also responsible for keeping the membership roll (bap-
tized, active, and affiliate members) as well as the registers of the congregation (baptisms, ordinations
and installations of deacons, elders, and pastors, accompanied by dates of service). In addition, George
read minutes from other Sessions in the Presbytery. Please say thank you to George for a job well
done!
