" In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night"
After the frights of the previous weeks , especially with the weather and the Fuel Delivery not being able to get anywhere close to us; everything now seems to be settling into an oft practised schedule.
Young Church's Christingles and Christmas Party; held for all those who share our Building
The Nativity performed by the 'wee ones' during Sunday Morning Worship - Exciting again this year, as once more we had a real live Baby Jesus:
Honestly we don't plan it that way it just happens.
The Candlelight Carol Service with all 60 or so of the East Dunbartonshire Concert Band, was the first for our new Organist Willie Murray; and, with our own Choir and a plethora of parents and friends it was a wonderful occasion.
The Band had suffered so many cancellations because of weather that they were really determined that this show would go on and they did indeed play so well.
This Carol Service is always such a lot of work and preparation, and this year we were down on people capable of helping - but - once more it passed off as a Triumph.
When the first lights went out and I heard the appreciative comments from a little group of visitors it did hearten me that it was all so worthwhile, to be able to share the building with many others...
Following on from the Morning Nativity with the 'wee ones', we are now truly on the path to the Stable

I missed Watchnight, as we always do, but the Christmas Day service was fine. And of course the candlelight carol service – originally a Belmont practice - was splendid, as always.
ReplyDeleteExcellent also was the united service for the p.g. in Hyndland on 02/11. Good to see inter alia the adoption of several liturgical practices, used by us in KHPC for many years, in a church which in my opinion has always been a bit underliturgised for a building of its potential. Ainz
