HALLELUJAH!

Now we can fix the roof!

Now we can prevent more water ingress and de-stabilisation.

Now I can phone our Architect and tell him that we don't have to put the Contractors on hold -----again!

Now I can perhaps sleep easier? Or maybe not, there is still a lot to do.

We firstly have the Re-dedication Service for the Teacher Window, and we need to clean up the Sanctuary. All hands on deck. Dusting, mopping and vacuuming and maybe just a bit of polish?
Lots to do----busy, busy, busy!

Will update later.

    I echo Ruth's Hallelujah! Everyone who supported us and prayed for us has been vindicated. Perhaps we will now be taken seriously instead of being treated (as we have been by some) as rather quaint and dispensable backwoodspeople! KHPC is here for the next ten years at least, and hopefully for a lot longer. Nonetheless we can't be complacent. A lot of hard work has got to be done to vindicate the presbytery's very massive vote of confidence. So let's keep at it, and let everyone continue to read Fiona's blog and our "Record" on the website, to keep up with our thinking.

    Well done, Fiona, in particular!

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 ...

Today the sun shone. It most definitely came out from behind its dark cloud. Once more we have been stunned and amazed by the wonderful Community we call KH. At our Daffodil Gift Day they came, and, despite all the recent economic stresses they gave.    Again and again. Whenever a need is felt; we give. Wherever? We give. But for a change, today was for us. So today we sat together and reminisced and chatted, Anna played on the Piano, Mamie supervised and sang along to the songs. We ate good, fairly traded Home baking, drank our Fairtrade teas and coffees and then at the end we counted. Yet again, we have shown that Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church is a place where wonderful things can happen; a place for nurturing and giving of our talents and our time. A place, of worship here in our Community. A place,  where all are welcome. "And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve bask...
