The moderator calls the shots and the elders make all the decisions, but the session clerk may be the most important person in the room during a session meeting. The clerk is essential for a CP congregation to send and receive communications, know what happened in past meetings, and keep track of... well, pretty much everything.

This resource contains everything a CP session clerk needs to know. It's essential for new clerks. Veteran clerks could use one too, just to make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to.

This book details the responsibilities of the session clerk, points out common errors, and concisely offers a ton of information including electing elders and deacons, completing the annual report, keeping minutes, maintaining membership roll, establishing and dissolving pastor-congregation relationships, and more. samples are provided for keeping minutes. There's also a concise summary of the responsibilities of each judicatory (Session, presbytery, synod, General Assembly).
