Harvest 2009


Harvest was early in KH this year, too early for the produce from the Allotment, however this Saturday (24th October) we are looking towards a different kind of Harvest.


KH has held a Gift Day over the last few years where we look to Gifts from within and without.

This is our opportunity for donations to be made specifically towards the upkeep of our building and its purpose within the West End. It always seems best that we should make it a social occasion as well

We are having various stalls of Charity Christmas Cards and of course our very own Fairtrade Stall (Thank You Pat!). There will be Home Baking, Coffee and Tea etc, All musically accompanied by Anna on the Piano, (playing favourite requests if we're lucky) Also a Play area for the young ones. This year the time is from 10:30 until 13:00Hrs. A most pleasant way to spend a Saturday Morning.


Then-------

In the evening starting at 19:30hrs, we welcome Cathures: " a link between the past and the present of Glasgow and a fitting name for a choir who rehearse in the city and perform music of various styles and periods"

This talented choir's Concert titled 'New Worlds' brings us a feast of choral music inspired by the Americas including 17th. Century Mexican and Peruvian polyphany and spirituals.

Admission Free - Donations more than welcome.


Both events are in the Hall, enter from Observatory Road.

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...
