Welcome back!
A quick resume!
Lots of local people managed to walk to KH for the Watchnight Service, and the Snow kept coming, however it was a time of good feeling all round, including heat! We had some old friends and some new we hope.
On Christmas Day!--- Communion and the snow held off and the Sun shone through the windows just as we sang 'Ye Gates' Wow! What a warm fuzzy feeling! Back for Christmas --- Achieved!
A shame that a thaw set in just as we were leaving. Not to worry the H&C lads will be back this week to try and fix the gutters which have come to the absolute end of their usefulness. The normal Sunday Service at 11am.on Sunday 27th. was, not only the last in KH for 2009, but also the last with Iain Galbraith as our Organist. All our Choir members were present; and the music and singing were really quite special.
Iain will be missed as our Master of Music, but at least he is staying as a member of our Church family. We wish him well in his new post.
The first Sunday of the New Year was given over to a Joint Service within the Parish Grouping, however I must admit that I was quite relieved that on this occasion I didn't have to worry about cutting my way through ice to allow people into our Car park, on this occasion, that was someone else's problem.
A bleak mid-winter indeed, but those of us who ventured out to evening service were rewarded with some very beautiful words and some very fine singing. making our particular journey well worthwhile.
