ISSUE No 75 SEPTEMBER 2017

Letter from the editor

Welcome to the September edition of the magazine.After the very busy

week of the summer mission, including the Messy Church on the

second Saturday and finishing with the Prayer Walk on the Sunday, it

was good to get away for a break.

We had never been to Harrogate or anywhere in the surrounding area

before so it was a great experience for us to visit this lovely Victorian

town and to see some of the little Yorkshire villages totally unspoiled

by time.

One of the National Trust sites that we visited was Fountains Abbey.

The history of the abbey began in 1132 when a small group of

disaffected monks from St Mary’s Abbey in York came there in search

of a simpler and more devout life.

The first monks were nicknamed the ‘white monks’ because of the

undyed sheep’s wool habits they wore. The monks learned skills as

shepherds, tanners, masons and brewers to help build the abbey’s

wealth. By the mid-1200s it had become one of the largest and most

powerful religious houses in the country. At that time Fountains Abbey

was one of the leading producers and exporters of wool which provided

the main source of the abbey’s wealth.

For centuries people have been drawn to this inspiring place. The ruins

help to tell the story of 400 years of monastic life, years of riches,ruin

and revival, until it was brought to a close by the dissolution of the

monasteries in the time of Henry viii.

It still is an imposing building and the parks around it are much used by

families, running, walking and having picnics.

Minister’s letter

Dear Friends,

By the time you’re reading this, we’ll be in autumn with the usual

winds and rain, although that sounds a bit like the summer this year

with some exceptions. I’ll have been here just over 3 months and I’ve

spend a lot of that time looking and listening.

It was a real blessing to see and be part of the Summer Mission from

the Fun Day, Polar Explorers, Youth evenings, Messy Church and

finishing for us with the Joint Service at Livingstone Church. The

messages of the week were -you’re never too

young

ordinary

near or far

bad

But let’s not get caught thinking that these messages are only for the

children: each one of needs to remember that God’s mercy and grace is

for us all. The only thing that stops us from growing through and with

God’s grace and mercy is our own response to God’s gift for us.

The children were told that they were never too young or old and that’s

true: Jesus told His disciples to let the children go to Him and not

hinder them, “for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

(Matthew 19:13-14) God can work in us and only gives us what He

wants us to do, helping us on the way. The children were told that they

were never too ordinary and the thing is it is God who makes us special

and different. They were told that they were never too far or near and

that’s true; God can reach us wherever we are and however we are in

our relationship with Him. The children were told that they were never

too bad and again, it is God’s grace and mercy that gives us

forgiveness. God loves the world so much that He gave His only Son,

Jesus Christ, so that those who believe would not perish but have

eternal life; Christ Jesus went to the Cross, died, was buried, rose again,

defeating death and gifting us forgiveness.

These aren’t nice wee stories to tell the children but the reality of God’s

goodness and providence to us, His created children. As we explore

these things, we develop our relationship with God through Christ and

in the power of the Holy Spirit. Developing our relationship with God is

discipleship, and we’re never too young or old!

Over the summer and through to the end of October, we’re exploring

the Songs of Ascent, Psalms 120-134, as a path of discipleship as a

congregation and hopefully as individuals. I’m focusing on Eugene

Peterson’s discussions of these Psalms in his book, “A Long Obedience

in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society”.

We will hopefully also be part of Path of

Renewal which I’ve spoken about before.

Path of Renewal will help us, as church

families, walk together and explore how we

consider discipleship and mission as individual congregations, jointly as

a linked charge and with our brothers and sisters in Christ at the High

Kirk. But there will more about that later…

Each one of us has a part to play in our journey with God from praying

to leading worship because we’re never too bad, ordinary, near or far or

young or old.

Every blessing,

Dave

Letter of thanks

Dear Friends,

Charlotte and I would like to express our thanks to the members of both

congregations for the friendship and the wonderful gifts that we were

given at the ordination of your new minister.

It certainly does not seem like six years ago that I was asked to act as

your Interim Moderator and I am certain that neither you nor I expected

the appointment to last for such a length of time. It is stated that time

flies when you are enjoying yourself and I can assure you that I did

enjoy my time with you. Over the years, Charlotte and I developed a

deep affection for both congregations and we will always value the

friendships that were formed.

There comes a time when we have to go our separate ways. You have

set out on a new and exciting stage in your journey of faith and I

withdraw into another stage of retirement unless Presbytery has some

other ideas.

We both wish you well as you go forward in faith with Dave leading

you to new pastures and we will look forward to hearing of your

continued progress.

With every blessing

Ken Welch

The Guild

The Guild will hold its opening meeting on Tuesday 12th September at

1.30pm in the Church Hall.

This is the third and last session of "Be Bold, Be Strong" with the theme

"Go in Love" following "Go in Peace" and "Go in Joy", and the

discussion topic "Loving when it's difficult to love".

A varied syllabus has been arranged including speakers from the two

national Guild projects; two concerts; speakers on a variety of subjects;

presbyterial council meetings; our usual entertaining South Beach

residents; Macmillan coffee afternoon; Dundee national meeting DVD;

Burns celebration; Bring and Buy Sale; and the opportunity for the

members to enjoy each other's company and chat over the inevitable

cup of tea.

As always we look forward to other members of the congregation

joining our numbers every Tuesday from September to Easter. We have

quite a few members who belong to other churches in the district and

seem to enjoy the fellowship in the Guild.

Shoebox Appeal 2017

'Transforming lives through Christian care for body and soul'

Will you fill a box for Blythswood’s 2017 Shoe Box Appeal? A bar

of soap, a pair of socks, a packet of sweets – these are practical gifts

that bring joy, comfort and dignity to people in need. These items are

not just practical but personal, too. Your box shows that someone

cares.

Leaflets for this year's appeal are available from the table in the

vestibule. Boxes will be collected at this year's Harvest Service on

Sunday 24th September.

In past years we have had a tremendous response to the Shoe Box

Appeal and we seek your continued support for this very worthwhile

cause.

Prayer Thoughts

I wonder, if like me, you can find it difficult to tell others you are

praying for them. After all many would be grateful to know that they

are being prayed for. What might be the cause, shyness,

embarrassment, some slight wavering in faith? When thinking about

this I found the following verses in Paul’s letter to the Romans in

chapter 1 at verse 9;

‘God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and

your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart by telling

others the Good News about his son.’

This is a great example to me. Paul shows no reticence at all. In fact,

you can feel Paul’s sincerity and enthusiasm for prayer coming through.

Paul clearly prays on the spur of the moment as the Spirit leads him. As

he says ‘day and night’, not some especially set aside time. His

conversations with God are deeply woven into the fabric of his life and

it is with joy that he informs those that he is praying for.

The preceding verse tells us that Paul’s prayers for the Roman

Christians are not just requests, no, verse 8 tells us that he also offers

prayers of thanksgiving;

‘How I thank God through Jesus Christ for each one of you’.

These verses give me a great model to follow. Pray with thanksgiving,

pray at any time, and don’t hesitate to tell others they are prayed for!

Themes

Approach: Try to give some space in the daily business of your life to

come to God in prayer. Allow God to be the focus as you speak to

Him.

Confession: Bring before God the times that word deed and thought

have made you uncomfortable and ask God’s forgiveness where this has

left His work undone.

Thanksgiving:

Ministry – give thanks for Dave Sutherland and his ministry

with us.

New Ministry – give thanks for those who have supported Dave

and Maureen as they settle into their new home and take up the

challenges of change.

Mission – give thanks for the work of those involved in the

summer mission and for those who came to take part.

IT in worship – give thanks for the new opportunities to give

different approaches in services.

Intercession

Mission – pray that those who came to the summer mission that

they will have been open to God’s promptings in their lives.

Schools – pray for pupils and teachers in this new session that

good teaching and learning can take place.

David Hebenton – continue to pray for David as he adjusts to

the changes that this year has brought.

The World – Pray for those countries and communities affected

by war and famine, grant them a safe and healthy environment

to live in.

Changes – pray for those who have suffered loss and those with

cause to celebrate.

Summer Mission 2017

We are delighted to report that the Summer Mission was a great

success. We had wonderful groups of children averaging 45 – 50 each

day at Polar Explorers and 29 young people at the youth nights. Both

groups participated in very full programmes of fun events and activities.

As in previous years we used and adapted material produced by

Scripture Union. This year we used the material entitled Polar

Explorers. This theme allowed us to transform the High Kirk Hall into a

Polar landscape complete with igloo, polar bears, huskies and icicles

and even snow ball fights.

Through stories from the New Testament Polar Explorers explores how

The Holy Spirit changed people to change the world. These early

Christians weren’t too hopeless or too ordinary, they were never too

anything to serve God. The Easter story forms the backdrop of this

programme, giving the children ample opportunity to engage with the

gospel while exploring the lives of some remarkable people and

encouraging them to be part of God’s big expedition.

Our hope every year in holding the Mission is that we help create

lasting positive memories of Christian Community, to build

relationships and help children and their families become part of a

church community.

The planning group met regularly to develop the programmes of songs,

stories, games and activities all based around having fun. Each day

followed a similar pattern and every day finished with the highlight of

the day……..lunch. We were very lucky to have a number of adult

’volunteer’ helpers who were ably supported by a group of young

leaders. These young leaders have been with us now for many years

and started as children at the Mission. It has been great to see them

develop their own skills over the years and they are now a very valuable

part of the team and the future. The Mission Team from the three

churches work extremely well together. We share the workload and

enjoy fellowship, friendship and faith together.

An additional activity this year was Messy Church on Saturday 29th

July. This was very well attended by families. They enjoyed craft and

games together followed by a short service in the church led by Dave

and his puppet friend. We hope to hold regular Messy Church events

throughout the year.

We would like to thank all members of the congregation who supported

this year’s Summer Mission and contributed to the success

Dorothy Hershaw

Several people were asked for their slant on the Summer Mission 2017.

The following submissions were sent to me.

1. From one of the leaders

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work on this year’s summer mission.

It takes a lot of planning which usually starts in January / February. All

the hard work was worth it however, and everything, well almost

everything!! went to plan. The threat of heavy showers all afternoon on

the day of the fun day caused us to move the fun day indoors and of

course the weather forecasters were wrong. However everything else

went as expected.

.

If I was asked what my abiding memory of the summer mission was it

would be the fun and happiness that was evident throughout the week.

Everyone, young and not so young, seemed to be working really well

together and working in harmony. The children who came couldn’t fail

to feel the love and warmth of a Christian Community.

In amongst all the fun and laughter, games and food of course we had a

serious message to put across to the children. This is done through

sharing stories from the bible and through the crafts, quizzes and songs.

Hopefully by making the learning fun and creating a relaxed

atmosphere the children will have taken away the message of each

day’s story and will remember it.

The seeds have been sown. Who knows who will reap the harvest in

years to come. That we leave in God’s hands.

Roll on July 2018

2. What Emily and Ieuan thought.

We both really enjoyed this year summer mission - Polar Explorers was

a great theme. I (Emily) particularly enjoyed the crafts - making the

lantern was my favourite. We both enjoyed the stories and games and

learning about the different people in the bible. The snowball fight was

amazing. It was great to meet up with friends we have made over the

previous years that we don't see usually until Summer Mission time. I

(Ieuan this time) really enjoyed spending time with those friends at the

Youth Nights; and also the Question and Answer night - really enjoyed

hearing the ministers views on things. The Polar Explorers song was

great too and we enjoyed doing the actions. Messy church was amazing

too and loved the Great Big God song and Speedy Shoes. Thank you to

everyone who made summer mission possible.

Ieuan & Emily Harris.

3. What Catherine (who was a kitchen lady) thought.

Messy Church was a new experience for all of us. The main question

was, "How many are we catering for?" And of course the answer was

"No idea!" Catering for children demands a formula of, "Estimate what

you think they will eat and double it!" based on personal experience.

We were in the fortunate position of having people with lots of

experience to guide us. We were supplied with a mountain of loaves,

butter, cold ham, cheese, salad and various fruits and of course the

ubiquitous crisps! A healthy diet for one and all! But life can be pretty

boring if there are no treats, so lovely cakes were also supplied.

The food was devoured with gusto and greatly appreciated! Every

one, children and adults, enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to

the next Messy Church!

Catherine Burns

4. Point of view of a grandmother

When we got the flier in through the door about this year’s summer

mission, we were very pleased to see Messy Church on the programme,

since the age group for the mission was too old for Ellis, our 4 year old

grandson, but Messy Church was right up his street. He couldn’t wait to

get there, saying he had “never been to this Messy Church before.” He

wasn’t disappointed. Right from the start he got down to colouring in

Joseph’s coat, as did all the boys and girls around us. The range of

crafts on offer was impressive but he spent so long on the dominoes and

egg timer games that he only had time to make a rainbow fridge magnet

before going into the church for the worship there. The singing of the

songs was really enthusiastic and he joined in all the actions. It was

great to see so many young people engaged in praise. His only

“problem” was Sam the puppet, because Sam is our collie dog and all

the way through the talk, he was keen to know why the puppet and our

dog had the same name. When we came back through to the hall for

our meal, he tucked in with relish, as did we, to all the sandwiches,

crisps, yoghurts and cakes on offer. All in all, a great experience for us

and one which we hope to repeat on 30 September.

Youth Nights

Another mission week has taken place, with similar events to previous

years. However we took a new approach when it came to the youth

nights. This included “Question Time” – where a panel took questions

from those attending on the night. The panel was comprised of Dave,

Sandy, Scott and me with Margaret as the chair person.

One of the questions was “People say that the Church should become

more modern. What do you think about this?” Each of us answered this

and agreed that the Church must modernise, but the question which

arose from this was how should the Church modernise?

The use of more modern hymns could be a start. Personally, I love

hymns new and old. Hymns are probably the most recognisable feature

of a church service. The most important reason we sing to worship God

is we are instructed to at multiple times in the Bible. Another reason for

hymns is that they are more memorable than, perhaps, a half hour

sermon given on a Sunday morning. However for many this is not the

case. Lots of other young people I speak to about Church say that

hymns that were written centuries ago put them off because they are so

old – and they have a point. The most important part of a hymn is the

meaning, not the tune. Bearing this in mind I think we should start

using more modern tunes for our hymns, but keeping the meaning while

also writing new, contemporary hymns.

Psalm 23 is an example of a hymn put to a new tune fairly recently by

Stuart Townend. A modern hymn, that is one of my favourites, is called

“10000 Reasons” – which was written in 2011 by the American

musician Matt Redman and made it into the top 150 of the UK charts at

the time. I am not suggesting that we should completely move away

from traditional hymns, but that we should use more modern hymns

than we do at the moment. My favourite hymn is actually an older one –

“It Is Well With My Soul” by Horatio Spafford. This is a beautiful song

and my homework for you is to find out the reason why it was written,

and the hymn gains a whole new meaning. It is because of hymns like

these that make me hope that as time goes on, despite the need to make

more use of contemporary hymns, we will still make use of traditional

ones.

Fabric Report

We have been taking a short rest over the summer months. Reading

back over this past year’s magazines it seems to me that the Fabric

Committee have done a power of work. We have repaired and replaced

some of the church windows and concreted the holes at the front of the

church. We have done a bit of painting here and there where needed.

We recently installed hand dryers in all the toilets(in accordance with

Health and Safety rules.) We have also installed the electric supplies for

the new projector system in the church. There have been a few teething

problems with the system but we now know what the problem is. In the

meantime we have a temporary solution and it shouldn’t be too long

before it is completely fixed.

Of course there’s always the normal work of getting the boilers

maintained, the meters read and lights replaced etc.

Soon preparations for the pantomime will be starting, (Oh yes they will)

and it will be all hands to the pumps again. Many thanks for everyone’s

help.

Fabric Committee

A trip to Liverpool

We recently spent a busy and enjoyable weekend in Liverpool,

attending the British TeamGym Finals, in which our elder

granddaughter and her four teammates from Irvine Bay Gymnastics

Club were competing. Hundreds of children, girls and boys from all

over Britain were taking part, and the venue was buzzing with

excitement. The exuberance, vitality and determination of the

participants were thrilling - what a wealth of talent on display!

If you were a teenager in the 1960s, “Liverpool” meant Music - the

Mersey Beat, the Cavern Club, the Beatles, Billy Fury, Cilla Black,

Gerry and the Pacemakers …….. Liverpool is proud of its musical

heritage, and is keen to promote itself as a city of culture. The derelict

Docklands area has been redeveloped, and where once there was

desolation, you now find music and sporting venues, shops, and

restaurants, cinemas and theatres, galleries and museums. But the

emphasis is on music, past and present. You can experience live music

everywhere. The city stages a unique Piano Busking Festival: 6 pianos

are placed round the area, and you can book a free slot to ‘tickle the

ivories’ for the entertainment of passers-by. (We resisted the

temptation). Round every corner you hear buskers - some good,

some..well..not so good! - honing their skills, to earn a little money, or

perhaps in the hope of being discovered.

Art, too, plays a big part in the cultural life of the city. The musical

theme continues as you come across statues of the 60s greats, not on

plinths for you to look up to, but on street level, for you to engage with :

The Beatles, striding across the road from the Liver Building towards

the Mersey; Cilla singing outside the Cavern Club; John Lennon,

leaning on a wall just across the road: Eleanor Rigby, sitting alone on a

bench, waiting for some company. And there are other Liverpool

worthies : the comedian Ken Dodd and politician Bessie Braddock,

greeting one another at Lime Street Station; and John and Cecil Moores,

the founders of the Littlewoods empire chatting to one another as they

walk down the street.

As you venture away from the Docklands and Liverpool One, you come

to Hope Street. At one end of this aptly named street, standing

imposingly on a rocky mound, is the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral,

vast, solid and immoveable. At the other end, in stark contrast, and also

standing on a rise, is the Roman Catholic Liverpool Metropolitan

Cathedral of Christ the King. Built in the round, it has a lantern-shaped

tower with stained glass windows in bright reds, blues and yellows,

which catch the sun and let the cathedral shine like a beacon of light

across the city.

Halfway along Hope Street you come to a memorial celebrating the

lives and achievements of the Anglican Bishop David Sheppard and the

Catholic Archbishop Derek Worlock, two ‘great men of God’, who

worked closely together as a uniting force, guiding the city through the

dark years of recession, political unrest and social conflict of the 1970s

and 1980s, particularly through the trauma of the vicious Toxteth riots,

the shame of the Heysel Stadium disaster and the tragedy of

Hillsborough. The bronze sculpture, called ‘Better Together’, consists

of two doors, 4.5 metres high, which stand open in welcome, and allow

you to see both cathedrals. A likeness of David Sheppard is on the front

of one door. Derek Warlock is on the other. The reverse sides of the

doors are decorated with newspaper headlines from their time as the

city’s religious leaders. At the unveiling ceremony, the prayer was,

“May its doorway beckon every traveller to continue their life’s journey

renewed in hope, and strengthened in resolve…”

A little further up the street, you come across a pile of travel bags and

suitcases, including two guitar cases. This pile of coloured concrete

luggage has labels, bearing the names of famous people associated with

the area - some Scousers, some not - among them, Charles Dickens,

Arthur Askey, Roger McGough, Paul McCartney and Sir Malcom

Sargent. You cannot help but be reminded that life is a journey, and if

you travel ‘with hope in your heart, you’ll never walk alone.’

Anne Cochrane

I have never yet managed a trip to Liverpool but on reading Anne’s

article I have decided to make one, hopefully in the near future.(ed.)

A date for your diaries

The Learning Group in Ardeer has organised a concert in Ardeer Parish

Church for the first event of the year. It will take place at 7pm on

Wednesday 11th

October when the Ayr Community Gospel Choir will

come and entertain us with a wide range of songs. The choir sings a

mixture of religious and secular songs and will also have some songs

for us to sing. The concert will last approx. 1 hour. Please spread the

word about the concert as we would like as many people as possible to

come along and enjoy the night. It should be a great night and a good

opportunity for us all to get together. There will of course be tea / coffee

and refreshments and a time of fellowship after the concert. Tickets will

be available nearer the time but please put the date in your diary now.

I am grateful to the congregation for their continued giving as shown by

the increase in collections. As always I am aware of just how precarious

our finances are and again ask you to consider your givings.

As you know John Beck has moved to Kilwinning Old to support Isobel

in her work there. I would just like to say thank you to John for his help

each Sunday in the Counting Team and wish him the very best at

Kilwinning.

A few thoughts

1. Prayer is not a spare wheel that you pull out when in trouble but

it is a steering wheel that directs the right path throughout.

2. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities;

when God doesn’t solve your problems, He has faith in your

abilities.

3. Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away

today’s peace.

J.A.M.Club

The JAM Club trip was to the New Lanark World Heritage Centre

where we had a fantastic day. The weather was kind and was sunny

most of the day. Our first port of call was The Annie McLeod

Experience which was enjoyed by all. Lunch was on the roof top terrace

in the sun after we had seen a replica of a loom.

After lunch we visited the school room followed by the corner shop and

the worker’s cottage through the years. There was a break for ice cream

before we visited Mr Owen's house, where we tried on some clothes

from that period.

We even saw a wedding and we girls thought the bride was just

beautiful. To finish off there was a trip to the shop to spend money and

some time at the play park before returning home. A good time was had

by all.

It is nearly time for a new session of the JAM Club with new topics,

crafts, songs and dramas. Hopefully as a result of the Summer Mission

there will be new members for the JAM club. My volunteers, who help

each week, and I pray this new session will be the best one yet.
