As we say goodbye to Grey Presbytery and celebrate the work of Grey Presbytery and the churches within, from 1925 to 2009 and look ahead to working together as part of Northern Waters Presbytery, we can reflect on the thoughts of Revs. C. Elmer Kenny and P. T. Pilkey spoken at the first Grey Presbytery meeting at Knox United Owen Sound on September 15, 1925 ---

Rev. C. Elmer Kenny, “suggested that they would come together with candor and with courage, that they might think together for the good of all and he was sure that they would have a happy time together.”

Rev. P. T. Pilkey trusted that “all would exercise the greatest patience with each other. He hoped they would forget their self-interest in their desire to promote the best interests of the whole Presbytery”
