The Promise of more to come--------

Today is the 'Daffodil Tea' with home baking (cream scones?) , music and good company, What more could you ask for?--------Oh! of course! some daffodils!

The Church will be open as usual in the afternoon and although the internal scaffold is still in place, the Teacher Memorial Window can be seen shining through.
The crystalline effect of some of the glass used, really does show up well in this particular window.

All are welcome in this place:

Tomorrow the 'pulpit swap' which used to happen amongst the local ministers will take place again after a long recess.
Roy Henderson of Lansdowne Church will preach for us at KH and our Locum Archie Roberson will be at Lansdowne. ----------Welcome Roy!
The remaining scaffold downtaking is on order for next week. It seems to be that the revealing of the restored window and the rest is being shown to us in small pieces at a time, and it does seem very appropriate that all of this is happening now --- at Lent.
Last year we would talk about the fact that we had 'given up' our building for Lent and so it was, that it was restored to us after Easter and then taken away again after Pentecost.
This year we do know of the promise of more to come as we wait prayerfully. The outcome to the situation we find ourselves in is not yet clear to many, but some of us feel that we know, that what we believe will be revealed.
Who still thinks that I am only talking about the building.?

    Yes, the Daffodil Tea was great, and so was Roy.

    As for revelation, I've never been a great one for it, but I hope you're right!

A Tidy Mind!

So we hit the deck running this week, First task on Monday Morning was a meeting with the Lead Architect and the Contractors to re-cap where we were when all work was put on hold and also to sort out the tidying up "Our Building Site" The Repair work at KH was originally organised around Church Life, and that will continue, the Congregation and all of the Hall Users will continue to meet in the Hall while the Contractors will carry on working upstairs in the Sanctuary. This is not the normal way of carrying out one of these major projects, I do like to think that perhaps we at KH blazed a trail. I think there is nothing worse than a Community building all wrapped up in scaffold and portacabins while the the Community who use it get lost in the busy-ness of the work. We are all in this together and hopefully we can all compromise as and when neccesary.

Catch-Up!

Abject apologies! Things have been very busy, with all Church Properties-----and the proper job! However, here is the stuff which has been sitting as a draft---- might as well have it---better late than never. 21:49 on 19 September 2009 Well the sun shone (most of the day)- The organ worked! (thank you Iain) and the Violin duets (Wilson & Jane xx) were a joy as well. 207 people came through the doors and all (bar one) were pleased with what they found. A lovely and characterful building with people inside who work very hard to keep it open for all the rest. I do hope our friends in Bellshill tonight have a good music event as well. Malcolm, our architect spoke informatively about the repair work and I know that people will assume that I'll do as well tomorrow. But for tonight--I'm off to bed. Sunday 20th.September ---- Very early before opening, I hoovered up all the leaves; this morning the Church Service was piped through the speaker system and the sun blazed through the ...

August Garden Parties

At KH there has been a tradition of having a Garden Party (or parties!) to allow members and friends to come together at the appropriate time to carry out essential works in the garden grounds. Yesterday was one of those days, and the rain did stop and the sun did come out! Firstly, many thanks to those who turned out and contributed their time and energy, and special thanks to Ann Shill for the yummy sandwiches. Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
