Quiet Time!

It's fairly obvious that we are in the midst of Holiday time, or perhaps Vacations or even Stay-cations!
How do we know?
Because it's teeming with rain? It is after all Glasgow Fair, (also it rained on St Swithin's Day; Oops! we have 40 days of this now!)
Or perhaps, because we have had an assortment of people in the Pulpit on Sundays,  for instance, last Sunday we had Angus Kerr, the Clerk to Glasgow Presbytery leading worship, and most welcome he was too.
What is lovely is that apart from the 'working' visitors on a Sunday we have also had many other visitors,   and all have had one thing in common, --

They all had nice things to say about the Building, and about us, for just being there.

Because a little eye operation prevented  me from, not only getting to my computer, but also from doing most of the normal stuff most of us take for granted; such as getting about the place and taking photographs, driving, working, gardening,  and of course normal housework.
 (Fabric Convenor, is what I do in my spare time! Ha!).

What I have been able to do and can appreciate now, is being able to sit and take time out, to look around me and to see.

During this holiday time, it is perhaps worth remembering that;  that we make sure that we do take time for Quiet Time.

The snow held off this morning and the Contractors were hopeful of taking down 4 'flights' of scaffold before Christmas. however it was deemed too dangerous for that this morning. 'What about the weather vane?' I asked. 'Well we;ll see how it is the afternoon and we've got a back-up with the Steeplejacks if necessary' said Hunter & Clark. Off I went on errands and on my return driving along Queen Margaret Drive I noticed that the scaffold around Oran Mor had been taken down and then I noticed a 'High -vis' figure on top of our Fleche which clothed in its scaffold looks a bit like a pineapple over the roof tops of Grosvenor Terrace. Once it was safe to do so, I of course took photos of Archie and Craig tackling the re-installation of our very own 'Chanticleer' All this was of course whilst the snow was coming down again. Hard! However the Task was successfully accomplished. Thank You both, very much. It is much appreciated by all of us at ...

Re-Dedication Service

The clean-up team have been in this week! Many thanks to them---they know who they are! The Sanctuary is looking much cleaner and shinier now. Final clean-up on Friday! We are all looking forward to the Service on Saturday which Alastair Cherry will conduct, lots of people have said they are able to come and the weather forecast is favourable. One little word, the Church is still technically a Building Site, So please pay heed to the advice of the Stewards and remain on the permitted side of any roped-off areas. Hard Hats will not be neccessary.

Return from the brink?!

Don't do it! It does seem a little strange, but I think this is the second photo of this very hardworking person "up close and personal" with a window. Although the last time we managed to have the window brought down from on high for her close inspection. Whatever, the gist of all this is; that this particular property owned by the Congregation is now ready for a new tenant. As explained during the 'At-Home Sessions' this will be an extra source of income for the Congregation. A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into achieving this, and cleaning the windows on a glorious Autumn afternoon has been just part of it.
