Dear Friends Dear Friends The Parishioner Newsletter Issue 45 - November 2011 Kiltarlity and WARDLAW Churches DDearear Friends Salvation forms part of the crown jewels of heaven. Over the centuries many people have stumbled in some way or other over the concept of salvation. Some were offended by it; others cheapened it by living a life of sin which was not suited to their new identity; still others accepted salvation but tried to prove themselves worthy of it, or tried to add something to God’s grace, as if grace on its own was not sufficient for their sins. Many people in our consumer led society feel offended by God’s grace because it clashes with their pride. They think that they cannot accept something which is free in a society where nothing comes free - you must buy it or earn it in some way. Therefore, they reject God’s grace. On the other hand, many believers are caught up in a “health and wealth theology,” according to which God has to forgive. They believe that it is His duty to forgive no matter what they do or say. They do not understand that through salvation they have received a new identity in Christ and they must live in accordance with that new identity. Furthermore, they do not understand that salvation belongs to the past, present and future. We have received salvation but we have to live by the grace of God every single day of our lives, otherwise we do not understand the concept of grace and salvation. Salvation is not a free bus ticket to be used once you turn sixty and for the rest of your life - just show it to the bus driver and off you go. If we use God’s grace like a free bus ticket we cheapen it and we will never reach our final destination, the New Jerusalem. The Bible clearly teaches us that faith without works is no faith and is useless. There are also those believers who have accepted salvation, but they still feel they have to add something to it by doing a lot of things to make them worthy of salvation ( Ephesians 2:8-10 ). The ‘doing’ side of things usually becomes a competition in the church, in which pride is alive and well. Thus the focus becomes the believer rather than Him ‘who paid the price for our sins with his blood.’ These people do not understand that Christ has paid the full price for our sins and we can add nothing to it. So, we have no reason to boast ( Ephesians 2:9 ). If we have reason to boast about grace then it is no longer grace. The focus can never be on us. If we understand the grace of God we can only accept it humbly every day and live according to our new identity.

It has been designed with a theme of Thankfulness and in a way which will allow lots of folk to be involved whether or not you are good with a needle. A Celtic Border has to be attached to the main fabric using a very simple binding stitch. This is a time consuming job but if lots of people can give an hour or so around a kitchen table we can do it. The stitch is very simple and we can even thread the needle for you if necessary ! Come along to any or all of the following sessions for an hour ( or more ) and bring a friend. It is open to everyone in the community; the more the merrier. Saturday, 12 November - 2 to 4 p.m. at Eileen and Alasdair Morrison’s, 18 Mansefield Park. Monday, 14 November - 2 to 4 p.m. at Wardlaw Manse. Wednesday, 16 November - 2 to 4 p.m. at Mary and Keith McClelland’s, An Stabul, Achnagairn. Sunday, 20 November – 11:30 ( after church) to 1.00 p.m. at Kirkhill Community Centre. There are other sewing jobs which require a bit more skill and if anyone is able and interested we would love to hear from you. Please speak to any of the team who have been involved in the planning : Avril, Eileen, Flora, Louisa, Mary or Wilma Donations to help purchase the materials for the hanging would also be welcomed. Please mark these “For The Wall Hanging” and give to any of the team, or to Iain Mortimer. Flora Morrison - 831 373 Loud prayers An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. For instance, she would stand on her front door and shout, "PRAISE THE LORD !" Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There is no Lord!!" Hard times set in on the elderly lady, and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD. GOD, I NEED FOOD !! I AM HAVING A HARD TIME. PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES !!" The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD !" The neighbour jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you there is no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't." The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, "PRAISE THE LORD !! He not only sent me groceries, but he made the devil pay for them !” www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Page 3 of 20 The Parishioner Newsletter Issue 45 - November 2011 www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Page 4 of 20 The Parishioner Newsletter Issue 45 - November 2011 Campbell MacKinnon had relations in Kiltarlity. Kiltarlity and Kirkhill was his first charge; he was a bachelor then, but later married Janice Campbell McGill on 25 July 1985. Someone must have told Campbell I was having my golden wedding in 1989 – he announced it in Church, and asked me at the door if I was celebrating. I said “Yes, at home” as Allan was an invalid. On the day, we had family only at Drumallan and a few close friends from over 50 years. Campbell asked if he could come down the second day – we had a wonderful day and were blessed by his presence among us. Allan was an elder, and he always asked him about church affairs and gave bits of advice. When Allan died after ten years in a wheelchair, he spoke so nicely at the funeral about their friendship. Next week, he was at the General Assembly. I got the nicest letter from him to comfort me, what a joy it was in my time of trouble. I still have it. He was our Minister for the 200 year celebrations of our church in 1990, and took part in all the celebrations. He and I cut the centenary cake when we had a dinner and celebration in the Kirkhill Community Centre. The Moderator, Rev. Davidson preached in our church; it was great rejoicings all round. We were all so sorry when he decided to leave the parish. I had a wee chat with him when he was at our service about two years ago. 2002 – 2007 - Fraser Turner came to us from Glasgow. He was good with old folks, and was the life and soul of Jess Scot’s 100th birthday at Lentran Nursing Home. He also did services there for the patients, which was much appreciated. He now lives in Inverness, and is the Interim Moderator at the Dores and Boleskine parish. 2010 to date - Kobus Smit is from South Africa. Kobus preached in July 2010 and was inducted on 17 September 2010. We all rejoiced we had a nice minister, with a lovely wife, Louisa, and we all hope they will have many happy years with us. So now you can see through these three articles how I love my church. The Ministers have been great friends as well as Ministers, and they kept my faith going when I needed it. I have been blessed with a long happy life, and hope I manage a while yet. Without the help of Christine MacNeil and Mary Urquhart, I would not be able to go to Church, but I love my Church and hope to manage a few years yet among the kind folks and friends. I will cling to the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it one day for a crown. My grateful thanks to Rosemary and Iain Mortimer for their friendship and great help with compiling this for me; without them I would never have managed. www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Page 5 of 20 The Parishioner Newsletter Issue 45 - November 2011 A personal insight …….

FOREWORD WHEN the life of a people is perfectly sound and wholesome, one of the chief sources of their inspiration, for the manly and honourable conduct of life, is what is best in the achievements and traditions of their fathers. The epic poet sets forth those achievements and traditions in an idealized light, and makes them beautiful and attractive for the imitation of the worthier type of youth, to whom a noble and honourable life is thus made to appeal as the right thing to strive for. But the bare, dry facts of history may also speak with a message, equally clear and inspiring, to him who is gifted with sufficient imagination to see them in their true significance. The Roll of Honour recorded on the War Memorial, which is now so prominent a feature of almost every village and parish through­ out the King's dominions, consists usually of nothing more than a bare list of names.
