As the old year comes to a close; People's thoughts are often turned to what has happened in the past year. For many it can be a time of sadness and reflection, and for others it's a time to look forward--- to many new things.
It does seem hard to believe that we are only 8 days away from the anniversary of the Great Storm which damaged our High Roof and much has been lost to us over this past year. However; in many ways we have been most fortunate, we have been tested in various ways, we have found a new fellowship and we still have a vibrant congregation who care about each other and the place in which we live, work and worship.
The coming year will see changes for many, the effects of the Global Economic Downturn is never far from the front pages of the Newspapers, we can only hope and pray that those who may suffer from this will know that we at KH care for them. It has ever been thus that when times are hardest, people will seek out truth and enlightenment; we hope to be able to offer that at the very least at KH.
On a brighter note, 'The Fabric Team' are planning their 'Annual Jaunt'-------Not to the Palais de Justice and Sainte Chapelle in Paris ( this was suggested) but merely South of the River into Ayrshire to visit the Studio of Stained Glass Design, A Work in Progress Inspection is called for and we also need to finalise the dates for the re-instatement of the Window. A very good excuse for a trip out !
Once the Window is back in place and the Scaffold is down, we will be holding a Service of Re-dedication. Watch out for the Notices! --and the Ice!
A Very Happy New Year to All!
