Bom Dia, Brasil!

Please don't ask me for the translation right away, Portuguese is not my strongest foreign language!

However all will be revealed at 7pm on Friday evening at Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church.
This major fundraising event for Christian Aid in Brazil will take place then -and all will be explained.
All I do know is, that there will be Food and Music, and that is always a good starting point for any party.
Especially as the music is Brazilian (and there will be dance as well!) surely a recipe for success?

Glasgow Capoeira will perform their particular type of Dance/Martial Art, always exciting to watch and music from Duo Souza e Mello as well.

With fairly-traded food and drink from both sides of the Atlantic, we're in for a most enjoyable evening.

All in a good cause,and if we raise £5000, then the EC will match it!
Our six combined Churches were able to do this for Malawi, so let's go for it again and spread the message of how unequal life can be in one of the fastest growing economies in South America.

The Slums of Sao Paolo are unlike any other -  Come along and find out more, as we do our bit to raise both money and awareness.

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.
