KEYNOTES April 2021
KEY NOTES KIRKHOPE, ETTRICK & YARROW PARISH MAGAZINE April 2021 First words from Rev Margaret Steele Dear Friends God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I wonder when these words first meant something to you? We come into this Easter time wondering what the future has in store for us as individuals and as churches as we begin the process of un-locking down! Things change yet God’s love remains constant. Karl Barth the great theologian, when asked what the most important message of the Bible was, quoted a hymn we all know from childhood – Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. In the midst of all the changes let us remember this truth – true for all people everywhere for all time. This Easter has seen our church buildings closed, yet our churches are alive with worship and our witness as we work together in our communities to help those in need. God’s church without walls is alive and well! I am very pleased to tell you the results of the vote on whether or not E&Y, Ashkirk and Selkirk should form a new linkage of churches. Overall votes: FOR linking 314, AGAINST 7, with 2 spoilt votes. (turnout was 97.8% of the voter roll) Ashkirk: for 27, against 1 (turnout 80%) Ettrick and Yarrow: for 87, against 3 (turnout 62.5%) Selkirk: for 200, against 3 with 2 invalid votes. (turn out 64.3%) The vote for linking Ettrick & Yarrow with Ashkirk and Selkirk was therefore overwhelmingly positive. -
