Is that a Light?


Is that a Light?


Is that the Light? --- at the end of the Tunnel? --- or the train coming toward us?

Whatever one's viewpoint, there is no denying that yet again there are Blue Skies and many people working very hard above our heads.

It hardly seems possible that this week is even busier than last. The car park even fuller of cars and vans. Of course it all makes sense, now that we are on the final countdown to 'Contract Completion'. Then we can start to celebrate Christmas. This year; back in the Sanctuary!

But before then there is still an incredible amount of work to do.

Re-decoration;

Reinstatement of pews, carpets and other floor coverings; Reinstatement of Ceilings and plaster:

Re-hanging of the Belmont Cross and other things and general cleaning up.

Will we see much for the money spent?

Apart from a clean, and refreshed Chancel area, probably the biggest return on the investment is surely within us.
The knowledge that the roof over our heads is secure, that despite all adversity, we as a congregation have proved to ourselves and to others that we are resourceful, strong in our faith and strong in our heart. Yes, Other people are helping us to achieve our aims, but that wouldn't happen, if we didn't first believe in ourselves.

    How very aptly said, and how very true. And a great deal of the credit goes to our indefatigable Fabric Convener. AINZ

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...
