Have we got enough Scaffolding? part 2



Some members of the congregation came to me on Sunday, very concerned because they had seen the scaffold tower being dismantled, this tower has been outside the Vestry Door for some months now. Fortunately I was able to reassure them that it had moved inside and that another tower would replace it later.

Yet another dellivery of Scaffold was due today (Tuesday) ------ and it duly arrived! Lots of it. The towers inside are stretching even further and the front entrance has some very neat piles of poles ready to go. The Grand Piano has a new position every time I look in.

Who would have believed that a wind could have done so much; to cause so much. On Monday there was an ethereal mist throughout due to the sawdust and cutting the concrete down below. Once again a new foundation has to be made for one of the new mega shores to be erected. (Truss 3)


The Congregation will be able to see the plans on Sunday, new Information Posters have arrived. and we'll be able to show the plans to visitors on Saturdays when we are open as usaul between 3 and 5pm.

    I could let you have a CD of The Scaffold's Great Hits if that would help, Fiona!

    Thanks for keeping us all posted. I'll miss the plans on Sunday but look forward to seeing them soon.

    And what about the "Stornoway Twister"? They can at least say it was a judgement for the Sunday ferry, but what did we do wrong?

    Don't answer that!

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...
