	--------------------------------------------------------

	The Church of Scotland decided that each presbytery should allocate resources to cover the work of the national church throughout the land. Each presbytery had to prepare a plan which would indicate where the presbytery would be in ten years time. Our Presbytery approved a plan in December 2006 which stated that the congregation of Howe Trinity would continue to work towards being part of an "Area Group" of congregations which shall try to work together and share resources for the good of the Church.

	--------------------------------------------------------

	Including Howe Trinity, our area group comprises the following congregations:
