Dear Friends, THE MAPS FOR LIVING Summer days – be they sunny or wet – always remind me of my first summer as the minister of Hobkirk and Southdean with Ruberslaw some six years ago. That year, I was discovering the many roads linking the communities in our two parishes which stretch from north of Hassendean to the Carter Bar. My wife, Anne, had kindly given me a ‘sat nav’ to help me find my way around, but I soon found out that it was far from reliable in our country area so had to rely on the several Ordinance Survey maps! As the autumn drew near I was familiar with the five historic parishes that make up the present charge – from north to south, Minto, Denholm and Bedrule making up the present Ruberslaw parish, and Hobkirk and Southdean making up the present Hobkirk and Southdean parish. For interest, I’ve placed a map on the Denholm Church notice board and in Hobkirk Church which shows our parishes in detail. There are times when knowing the best way to go in life can be a challenge – and those who follow the Christian faith can find guidance in the maps God has given us to help us in daily living. The Bible is one map for life, with guidance as to the best way forward in all the its complexities and in Jesus Christ we have been given a living example to follow – with His keynote advice to ‘Love God, and love our fellows’. May we find God’s blessing in following Jesus’ example, Your Minister and friend, Douglas.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near” Philippians 4:4-5 Lighting of the Advent Candle Today we light the third candle of Advent, the candle of Joy. We look forward in anticipation of the joy of God’s Son Coming into this world once more to break the power of darkness. We remember too, that Joy is a gift that lives in our hearts when we turn to God in faith. God, as we wait for your promise, Give light, give hope, give peace, give joy. Hymn https://youtu.be/TxSC5WocoOc 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness with a liberating light. Praise the One who frees the prisoners turning blindness into sight. Praise the One who preached the Gospel, curing every dread disease, calming storms, and feeding thousands with the very bread of peace. 2 Praise the One who blessed the children with a strong yet gentle word. Praise the One who drove out demons with a piercing, two-edged sword. Praise the One who brings cool water to the desert’s burning sand; from this well comes living water, quenching thirst in every land. 3 Praise the one true love incarnate, Christ, who suffered in our place. Jesus died and rose for many that we may know God by grace. Let us sing for joy and gladness, seeing what our God has done.
