Now we have nothing else to do but carry out our allotted tasks of bringing the 'Good News' to all. Worship continues, 4 times a week,  upstairs in the Sanctuary and downstairs in the New Session Room. Other activities continue throughout the week; day and evening. There is always something going on at KH . Enjoy!

This week saw the first real days of warming sun, enough to start bringing out the cherry blossom around the West End. Tree buds have burst into life and birds are singing for all their worth  --- but at KH we have been cast as the cruel Landlords-- evicting prospective tenants from their favourite place. I could swear that the pigeon looking forlornly down from the east tower was watching me! and waiting! Evicted!

We at KH did our bit! so for ease I replicate the thank-you in full. "I wish to thank you and your entire congregation at Kelvinside and Hillhead Parish Church for your fantastic support for WWF’s Earth Hour 2010 – helping to increase awareness about people and wildlife threatened by climate change. Sign-ups are still being calculated but early indications suggest that a staggering one billion people took part in WWF’s Earth Hour around the world. Over 4,000 cities and towns in a record-breaking 126 countries signed up.

Essentially the other end of the photo I took from the ground in Observatory Road.

Oh! What a beautiful Morning! Oh! What a beautiful Day! Blue skies in evidence all this week except for Thursay, when we all got a little rattled. However Success at last! As is evident in the photo of the crocus and the bee, the nitty gritty of life goes on, while above our heads, great things are happening ------ And just to get all of this in perspective, Hazel kindly (bravely)stood beside one of the legs of the big Yellow Crane which finally arrived on Friday morning. With Blue skies all around; It was a very good Day.

Absolutely Typical! How is it that I am so Law abiding (or rather Blue-Meanie Fearing) that I wouldn't dream of parking anywhere near a spot with "Parking Suspended" Signs and Police Cones? Yet the wonderful commuting public decide that the signs obviously weren't meant for them and that all the clear spaces which were left by residents last night definitely were there just for them. So we try again tomorrow.
