PARISH
CHURCH MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2009
FROM THE MANSE
Dear Friends
Walt
Whitman once wrote these beautiful and thought-provoking words,
“The powerful play
goes on, and you will contribute a verse.”
It
is a salutary thought that each of us, no matter how small and
insignificant we sometimes feel, has a contribution to make to the “play”
which we call life. No more so than
at this time of year are we conscious of the role that so many others play
in our lives, many of whom are unknown to us. Of course, we are thinking especially of
those who fought and died in the two world wars of the last century, along
with those who continue to serve our country in the Armed Forces and who
fight for the ideals of freedom, justice and peace which we hold dear.
John
Greenleaf Whittier wrote these words,
“For of all sad words of tongue
and pen,
The saddest
are these, “It might have been I.”
We
remember those who died without fulfilling their potential, who died too
soon in the field of battle and who made the ultimate sacrifice. Now we stand as their heirs and we
remember what they did and what they gave, as well as continue to give of
their very selves. However, Remembrance
cannot simply be a requiem, a looking back to the past, it must also bring
the past into the present and inform both word and action.
This
year we saw the Inauguration of President Barack Obama whose oratory skills
are without question. Throughout his
campaign and especially whilst giving a speech in Chicago he used the phrase,
“Change we can believe in.”
It
is a typically anodyne slogan but it has a theological flavour to it. As those who seek to follow Jesus we must
believe in hope for the future, in God and that things can indeed change,
that the past need not simply be repeated, mistakes and all. In the book of Revelation Jesus is quoted
as saying,
“Behold I make all things new.”
Here
is the hope of our faith in Jesus Christ, that He can make all things new,
that out of war peace can come, that out of conflict there can be healing,
that out of despair which blights so many there can be hope.
We
each have a part to play, each has a verse to contribute to the play of
life and we pray that it will be such a part that we leave this world a
better place than we found it. As we
come to another Remembrance we give thanks for those who gave so much and
we renew our faith in Jesus, who gave His all and who promised to give us
the hope that all things can be made new, that change for the better can
come.
With
every blessing
Gillian
PAUSE
FOR PRAYER
God of the seasons, You are there at our
going out and coming in.
As
the days of life unfold and the moments of life tick by, You remain
constant in Your loving care and generous in Your giving us sustenance.
As
autumn gives way to winter, let us be warmed by Your love and guided
through the dark days by the light of Your Word.
Grant
us Your peace within our hearts and homes.
Spread
your peace throughout the world and continue to raise up people who will
work to overcome the forces of evil and violence which so threaten to
overwhelm us.
Remind
us now and always that Your purposes will eventually triumph and that
Your will shall be done.
Amen

THE
FAMILY CEILIDH – FRIDAY 6 NOVEMBER
Tickets,
Adults £6 and children £3, may still be available. Find out via the church office.
MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT – Carousel Supper and Coffee Morning
A
BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who made a contribution by supporting in some way
the Macmillan Cancer Support Carousel Supper and Coffee Morning at Whinfell
House which raised the wonderful sum of £2,520.47.
Thanks
to those who kindly opened the envelopes and counted the supper monies and
then others who on the Friday counted the coffee morning monies and
discovered that with gift aid added the grand total is just under
£3,000.
Marilyn Stenhouse
HARVEST
LUNCH WORKERS
This cheery bunch and all who contributed and attended made
the Harvest Lunch successful and most enjoyable.
A
total of £1338.93 was donated to “Mary’s Meals”, £74.03 arising from the
Harvest Lunch, £502.47 from the Harvest Thanksgiving Service retiring
offering and £762.43 from the Summer Coffee Mornings – all in all a super
effort.
TRAIDCRAFT
Fair
trade seeks to transform the lives of poor producers in the developing
world by enabling them to use their skills and resources to trade their way
out of poverty.
Fetching
water is quicker and safer for
Doricca and Mary now they have a borehole,
paid
for with the Fairtrade premium on locally
grown sugar
By
buying your sugar at the Traidcraft Stall
you
are making the world a better place.
A
Traidcraft Christmas Fayre where cards, gifts and wrapping paper will be
sold is to be held from 10.30 to 12.30 on 7th November at the
Stirling Rowing Club in Riverside.
Alternatively
come along to the Christian Aid Coffee morning on 14th November.
By buying just one packet of cards you will be helping to raise the
£225,000 required to support, amongst others, cotton farmers and textile
workers in India, beekeepers in Kenya and jute farmers in Bangladesh.
Liz Colman
STIRLING
STREET PASTORS
The continuing success of this initiative was recently
reported via the Presbytery. A BBC
Scotland report had also noted the success, referring to a young Stirling
clubber who had said how much better things were and how safer she felt
when emerging from a club to be met by Street Pastors who looked after her.
“SINE
NOBILITATE”
On
the 11th October the title of the sermon was “Sine
Nobilitate”. Gillian explained how
when commoners were first admitted to the elite society of Oxford and
Cambridge universities this term was used to distinguish them from the
aristocracy with titles. It became
shortened to snob and was used of anyone with ideas above his station.
But
this is not God’s way. He doesn’t
differentiate or seek qualifications.
His grace is limitless and for all.
Rumi
says: “You can’t imagine how weak you are; you don’t know how much you need
grace. It surges over the human soul
like the everlasting waves of the ocean beating on the beach.”
The
Indian philosopher, Radhakrishnam says: “The wind of grace blows all around
you, but you must hoist your sails to catch it.”

CHRISTIAN AID NEWS
Coffee Morning Saturday 14th November (10am – 12noon)
Christian
Aid will be holding a coffee morning and invite everyone to come. Tickets
£1.50 (50p for children) from the committee or on the door. There will be
the usual stalls of books, home baking and a tombola. Please look out any
suitable items for the tombola (unwanted presents etc) and hand them in to
the office or to Chris or Andy Kippen. Donations of home baking or books
can be handed in on the day. All donations are appreciated. This is a great
opportunity to get together with friends over a coffee on a wintry morning
so please come along.
Present
Aid.
We all have difficulty
buying presents for someone who has everything. When it comes to buying a
present it’s the thought that counts. The Christian Aid Present Aid
catalogue has some wonderful ideas such as three pigs for £24, 16 ducks for
£25 or three mosquito nets for £15. These are just examples and gifts cost
from £9 for a football to £1,400 for a bridge (just what you have always
wanted!).
How
does it work? You choose a present you’d like to give in the name of a
friend or relative and some of the poorest people will benefit. After
Christian Aid receive your order they send you or your chosen friend an
attractive gift card with details about your gift and whom it will benefit.
You can choose your own gift card and personalise it with your own message.
With
every Present Aid gift you’ll be making a difference to the lives of some
of the world’s poorest people. You’ll be helping them to tackle poverty and
injustice ….. that’s quite a gift to give anyone.
To
find out more come along to the coffee morning (14th November) or contact
one of the committee members.

All welcome.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
At the time of writing the
Sunday School are busy collecting articles to fill their shoeboxes for the
Shoebox Appeal 2009 and have already amassed quite a number of colourfully
wrapped boxes. These will be delivered to the Glasgow depot to await
checking by Blythewood who will add a Biblical storybook for children,
a book for teenagers or a calendar with Bible verses for
adults.
The latest date for handing
these boxes in was Sunday, November Ist so if you have not done
so please keep the goods for next year!
To all the congregation who
have helped the Sunday School in their efforts to support the Shoebox
Appeal we would like to say THANK YOU. We hope everyone has enjoyed
working with us and that those involved with the Sunday School
children have found it a rewarding project.
Our weekly themes this
term have revolved around who we are, who do we live with, who is the
Church, the World and at Harvest time thinking about welcoming everyone
home. Since then the schools have been on half term but Sunday
School continues to meet, although a little depleted in numbers, and has
been busy drawing and colouring pictures for the Church Christmas Post.
Our efforts, like last year, will be reduced in size to become
colourful stamps which will be available to purchase for the internal
christmas post and our thanks to Douglas Stuart who we hope will manage
to produce stamps from our efforts again this year.
During the next few
weeks we shall be looking at being a neighbour, asking who is my neighbour,
remembering the gift of others at Remembrance Sunday, talking about love in
action before thinking about Christmas. As we prepare for the
Nativity Play we shall be thinking about how Christmas started, who heard
about it and who came, with our overall theme for this church year being
'Gifts'.
Instead of having
separate Sunday Schools parties this year with Sunbeams partying in the
hall and Sunday Bunch and Cool Crew going bowling we have decided to
combine together for a Family
Christmas Party. This will take place on Friday, 11th
December from 7pm until 8.30pm in the Chalmers Hall. We hope that the older
Sunday School children will be involved with the younger ones and
that all sections of the Sunday School and their families will
be encouraged to get together for the party fun and games. More
details later!
Marilyn Stenhouse
THE 'OLDER FOLKS' CHRISTMAS PARTY
Following on from last
year's successful party we look forward to welcoming friends
and neighbours, especially those who receive tapes, on
Saturday afternoon, 6th December at 2.30 - 4.30pm in the Chalmers Hall.
We shall begin with a
little sherry/ soft drink and then have afternoon tea including home made
Christmas cake, mincepies, crackers and entertainment with a visit
from Father Christmas!
Please do join us and enjoy
meeting others for our party and get together. If you would like
a lift or can offer one or help in some way please let me know.

JUST
GUILD 2009
On
Saturday 5th September Christine Paterson, Lorna Paterson and I
travelled to the Caird Hall in Dundee for the Guild Annual Meeting. Over 2000 members from the length and
breadth of Scotland came to enjoy a day of fellowship. Our National Convenor, Betty Dunn,
introduced many interesting speakers and the day was full. We were entertained, we were challenged
and we enjoyed great fellowship within our Guild family.
One
of the highlights was the talk given by the Moderator, the Rt. Rev. Bill
Hewitt, who spoke about our new three-year strategy “What Does the Lord
Require of You?” To Act Justly, to
Love Mercy and to Walk Humbly with your God. Concentrating on the aspect of Justice he
shared stories of his trip to South Africa and some of the projects he
visited with his wife, with examples of doing something about inequality
and injustice. These included
programmes for young girls and women at risk through prostitution and
trafficking, homeless centres and pre-school education centres.
He
recounted the story of two people talking about religion. One says to the other “Sometimes I’d like
to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do
something about it.”
Well
why don’t you ask Him?” said the other.
“Because I’m afraid God might ask me the same question.”
We
are called to act justly, to do something about the inequalities in our
world and the Guild can help through the work of the new projects.
The
Moderator also spoke about climate change and stated that the Church is
concerned about the immediate threat this poses to people everywhere,
especially the poor of the world.
This left us with a lot to think about and the challenge of what we
are going to do about it!
Mrs Mary Miller, “International Scotswoman of the year in 2008
and wife of the Very Rev. John Miller, spoke about the work she has been
involved in, working at the HIV/AIDS clinic of a rural mission Murambinda,
Zimbabwe. Then in a breathless
silence, we watched a DVD clip of one child singing “Somewhere over the
rainbow” while other children danced barefoot in the background. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the
room. Mary had a suggestion for a
slogan for our Just Guild Day to encourage us to do something about
injustice wherever we see it: JUST GUILD:
JUST DO IT!
Fiona
Punton, Acting Guild Secretary, gave a report on the projects of the last
three years praising the grand total of £779,358 that the Guild had raised,
an amazing effort. Fiona introduced
the new projects and took her roving mike into the audience to talk to the
six people leading the new projects to the theme tune from “Friends”. The day ended with entertainment from a
church group from Lenzie called ‘3 + 1’ presenting a series of songs
and recitations and even a few jokes.
Closing with the glorious hymn “Guide me O’ Thou Great Jehovah”,
I would say to anyone who has not been to an Annual Meeting, it is well
worth going.
A
full report on the day is on the Guild Notice-board in the Honeyman Hall,
along with details of the six new projects.
Ann Donald
GUILD
The
new session began with a successful and lively Beetle Drive and gave
everyone an opportunity to catch up after the summer break.
On
Tuesday 13th October we were delighted to welcome over a hundred
people to the Chalmers Suite to hear Brightons Parish Church Praise Group
present a wonderful night of music and song. Under the leadership of Elaine Finlay,
the group treated us to a selection of songs of praise, spirituals,
classical and popular favourites.
The accompanist, Don Finlay, added to the evening with his
entertaining rendition of ‘Beatles’ music.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the
evening. As a result £390 was raised
for the Guild project.
Looking
towards the festive season, we have invited Lynn Bennett of Moss Flowers in
Bridge of Allan to demonstrate small arrangements for Christmas. This takes place on Tuesday 10th
November at 7.30 pm in the Honeyman Hall.
November
22nd marks the start of Guild Week and our meeting on Tuesday 24th
November will take the form of an informal discussion on the Guild theme
for this year, “We Are Called To Act Justly”.
The
Christmas dinner has been arranged for the evening of Tuesday 8th
December at the Old Bridge Inn. Cost
is £15 and if you wish to attend, please give your name to Helen McLaren.
Marion Logan
THURSDAY
NIGHT GROUP
Michael
Giannendria was our speaker on our opening night on 24th
September. Michael spoke of the
Reformation in Stirling. His
information was gained from Stirling Archives from records dating back to
the 1550s.
Carol
Kirkpatrick was our guest speaker on 8th October when she shared
her experience of joining a group of friends of Pebana on a trip to the
hospital in Mozambique. The group
worked very hard in the most primitive conditions trying to raise awareness
of health care and hygiene. Carol
thoroughly enjoyed the trip and I’m sure her enthusiasm and bubbling
personality would be missed by the resident team.
Dates
to look forward to:
5th
November – Carbon Neutral – Emily Harvie
19th
November – The Seamab School – Ann Anderson
3rd
December – Teaching in Malawi – Moira McIntosh
The
Old Bridge Inn has been booked for our Christmas Meal on the 10th
December. Copies of the menu are
available from the committee. Names
and a deposit before December please.
Please
join us – a warm welcome awaits.
