The main responsibility of the clerk of session is the accurate recording of the   minutes of the session meetings, including meetings of the congregation, and maintaining the permanent records of the Church.  Shari keeps the minutes and the church registers (various rolls) up-to-date and submits for annual review by the National Capital Presbytery when requested.  Her records are usually accepted without the need for corrections or exceptions to them.
