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!

The snow held off this morning and the Contractors were hopeful of taking down 4 'flights' of scaffold before Christmas. however it was deemed too dangerous for that this morning. 'What about the weather vane?' I asked. 'Well we;ll see how it is the afternoon and we've got a back-up with the Steeplejacks if necessary' said Hunter & Clark. Off I went on errands and on my return driving along Queen Margaret Drive I noticed that the scaffold around Oran Mor had been taken down and then I noticed a 'High -vis' figure on top of our Fleche which clothed in its scaffold looks a bit like a pineapple over the roof tops of Grosvenor Terrace. Once it was safe to do so, I of course took photos of Archie and Craig tackling the re-installation of our very own 'Chanticleer' All this was of course whilst the snow was coming down again. Hard! However the Task was successfully accomplished. Thank You both, very much. It is much appreciated by all of us at ...

Re-Dedication Service

The clean-up team have been in this week! Many thanks to them---they know who they are! The Sanctuary is looking much cleaner and shinier now. Final clean-up on Friday! We are all looking forward to the Service on Saturday which Alastair Cherry will conduct, lots of people have said they are able to come and the weather forecast is favourable. One little word, the Church is still technically a Building Site, So please pay heed to the advice of the Stewards and remain on the permitted side of any roped-off areas. Hard Hats will not be neccessary.

Return from the brink?!

Don't do it! It does seem a little strange, but I think this is the second photo of this very hardworking person "up close and personal" with a window. Although the last time we managed to have the window brought down from on high for her close inspection. Whatever, the gist of all this is; that this particular property owned by the Congregation is now ready for a new tenant. As explained during the 'At-Home Sessions' this will be an extra source of income for the Congregation. A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into achieving this, and cleaning the windows on a glorious Autumn afternoon has been just part of it.
