Northern Lights

The Lights go out on Saturday!

Aurora Borealis over North Berwick

Could be interesting, as Cathures( our resident Choir) are having their early Spring Concert on Saturday in the Sanctuary. Their Concert 'Northern Lights' starts at 19:30 and EarthHour starts at 20:30. Perhaps this could turn out be one of our most moving Concerts. We know how effective our Candlelight Carol Concert can be. A moving and emotional experience for the many people who attend.
Kelvinside Hillhead has always been at the forefront with its support of EarthHour and we have switched of our lights for the designated hour each year.  Glasgow CC and some of the definitive buildings around us are also playing their own small part. Generally it's been a very peaceful and quiet time when coffee and cake by candlelight was available for those sitting in the darkened splendour of the Sanctuary.
This year we will have beautiful music.

    And what a super concert and event it was! The blend of the music, its theme, and the wonderfully marked earthhour was quite magnificent. Fair made this old man's birthday!

    Many thanks to Cathures and to Fiona and pals for a great experience.

    Well, Fabric Convenor Fifi, I hope the event was special for everyone, and that the message got across, loud if not clear! Many thanks to Cathures for participating so readily and to you for organising the technicalies so expertly!

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...
