Garden Party 2

Rest Time!

Yesterday was another glorious day, and big thanks to all who came out and helped. An incredible amount was achieved - I'm still smiling about some people's realisation of just how big the grounds actually are. We were able to get straight into cutting grass and hedges and clearing the stuff from last weeks efforts straight into the Skip. (I'll worry about getting it out of the car park on Monday!) At an appropriate moment, Ann produced yet another batch of yummy sandwiches and she and Elizabeth made the tea and coffee and those who were there all day sat on the "ruins" of the wall and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shade.


I can't help feeling that the lure of new 'Power tools' helped to keep some of the guys interested for longer.


Boys and their Toys!
Certainly those arriving for Sunday Service will surely notice a difference.
 I wonder if we'll have lunch in the Garden today?

    The grounds should look very good for the wedding of Ros and Dom, and all hope that it happens without any hitches whatever.

    No wish to be critical, Fifi, and I know you are very busy and awaiting that exploratory op.! But it's nearly Christmas and we've had this picture since August. The world will think KH's needle is stuck!

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...
