Informing the Congregation.

I'm writing this as I wait for the start of the final 'At Home' The afternoon session went very well, with a very appreciative audience. (Thank You All!)
The one thing that strikes me, is how important it is, to keep people informed and also on-side. As this past week has progressed, conversations with various people, contractors, visitors and the rest have proved how useful a tool the Internet has become. Those who are far away from the Parish have found it so useful for information gathering and communication (and thanks for the e-mails telling me to keep up to date) Well, the work is still on Schedule and now I am really looking forward to Advent!

Once we've decided what we're doing with the curtains and the Cross!

    Well as you know, Fabric Convener, the Cross is from the old Belmont War Memorial and is therefore precious to me and the few other remaining Belmontians. But it is in my opinion out of proportion as a standalone focal point. I'd rather see it going on to the back (i.e. westward) wall of the Hall, and have a more conventionally proportioned one, perhaps somehow stapled under the Pilate window, as the focal point in the sanctuary. All churches should have a cross as the centre point of their chancel/apse, as it typifies as that Christianity stands for.

    As for the curtains, something will certainly be needed to back the two oak screens, but the central ones could go.

    However, I am confident you are getting advice in all the right quarters!

Staircase to Heaven

A friend mentioned The Scaffold's Greatest Hits, the musical analogy continues. Even more Scaffold has arrived. and when I visited on Thursday the men were very busy constructing a ----- Staircase to Heaven! No kidding, the front scaffolding towers are not tied in to the walls so the strengthening and buttressing supports have meant that the Contractors are able to build a Staircase and not just use ladders. Very secure it looks too, So eventually the Fabric Team will don their PPE and scale the heights. The Structural Engineer has also inspected and has declared that he is very happy with the Works Progress. Today the Concrete arrives which will be poured into the new big hole, which will form the foundation for Truss 3 N. Gosh it's all go this week.

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...
