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?

A Tidy Mind!

So we hit the deck running this week, First task on Monday Morning was a meeting with the Lead Architect and the Contractors to re-cap where we were when all work was put on hold and also to sort out the tidying up "Our Building Site" The Repair work at KH was originally organised around Church Life, and that will continue, the Congregation and all of the Hall Users will continue to meet in the Hall while the Contractors will carry on working upstairs in the Sanctuary. This is not the normal way of carrying out one of these major projects, I do like to think that perhaps we at KH blazed a trail. I think there is nothing worse than a Community building all wrapped up in scaffold and portacabins while the the Community who use it get lost in the busy-ness of the work. We are all in this together and hopefully we can all compromise as and when neccesary.

Catch-Up!

Abject apologies! Things have been very busy, with all Church Properties-----and the proper job! However, here is the stuff which has been sitting as a draft---- might as well have it---better late than never. 21:49 on 19 September 2009 Well the sun shone (most of the day)- The organ worked! (thank you Iain) and the Violin duets (Wilson & Jane xx) were a joy as well. 207 people came through the doors and all (bar one) were pleased with what they found. A lovely and characterful building with people inside who work very hard to keep it open for all the rest. I do hope our friends in Bellshill tonight have a good music event as well. Malcolm, our architect spoke informatively about the repair work and I know that people will assume that I'll do as well tomorrow. But for tonight--I'm off to bed. Sunday 20th.September ---- Very early before opening, I hoovered up all the leaves; this morning the Church Service was piped through the speaker system and the sun blazed through the ...

Today the sun shone. It most definitely came out from behind its dark cloud. Once more we have been stunned and amazed by the wonderful Community we call KH. At our Daffodil Gift Day they came, and, despite all the recent economic stresses they gave.    Again and again. Whenever a need is felt; we give. Wherever? We give. But for a change, today was for us. So today we sat together and reminisced and chatted, Anna played on the Piano, Mamie supervised and sang along to the songs. We ate good, fairly traded Home baking, drank our Fairtrade teas and coffees and then at the end we counted. Yet again, we have shown that Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church is a place where wonderful things can happen; a place for nurturing and giving of our talents and our time. A place, of worship here in our Community. A place,  where all are welcome. "And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve bask...
