Wedding Celebrations

Oh Boy! Oh Boy!
It is the season for Weddings:

We're all getting very excited, the Church is looking wonderul, full of flowers and gleaming in the sunshine. We've already had a Chinese couple married during the week and tomorrow we will celebrate the wedding of Jen Wilson and Unisa Conteh, and the Weather Forecast is for warm sun and light winds.





I must admit that I did have to swallow a large lump in my throat when I saw Jen's Father carrying her dress in its cover into the house yesterday evening. I've known Jen and her family for all of my own married life and they are stalwarts of our own congregation here at KH.


Today a bunch of us all had a great time arranging flowers and sorting out all the little last minute things, from making sure that there are enough tables and covers, to ensuring that the 'killer' Berberis at the Vestry Path has been trimmed back.




We know that our new Organist, Willie Murray, will be playing at his first wedding for us and we will all arrive to the delights of two friends playing some Bach Violin Duets, and yet another friend will be singing some Operatic Arias. So it will also be a veritable feast of music.

Even the Hall downstairs has been decorated for the reception afterwards and I' m pretty certain that a good time will be had by all. If you do live fairly locally you may hear us once we get back to our homes up the hill and continue the party.


All in all everybody is determined to celebrate and enjoy the day with Jen and Unisa and their family and friends.

The next trick is to see how many of us make it to Church on time, on Sunday Morning!

    Some things have been happening in Kelvinside Hillhead since Jen and Unisa's wonderful occasion in mid-August, most notably a very happy and well attended united service with our pgc partners!

    Could we please have an update with informed comment, Fifi?

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.
