There will be a short ceremony after the service at the War Memorial, seen in the illustration above.

The GIFFNOCK KWENDERANA TEAM VISITS THEIR PARTNERS AT EKWENDENI See the article on page 7 Page 2 Boris asks: Why do most choir practices take place on a Thursday? Answer: In ye olden days most workers were paid on a Friday meaning that by the following Thursday they were skint. As going to choir practice costs nothing it was an obvious way to spend an enjoyable evening for free. Contributions for the December edition of The Sentinel should be sent to the Church office or emailed to [email protected] by 10th November. The Guild HELLO FROM POLLOKSHAWS I am deputising for Frances who is on Yes! I’ts the holiday. You will not be surprised to know our article wonderful, this month focusses on the induction of our Pollokshaws Parish Church new minister the Rev Roy Sanderson. The fabulous, miss-it-at Induction Service was held on Thursday 3rd October and it was a great delight that there were so many of our friends from -your-peril, annual Giffnock South present. The Service was a truly uplifting occasion and it was particularly appropriate that, in view of our twinning, Catherine preached the sermon and Tony read one of the lessons. Roy was thrilled with the whole evening and it was of particular note that some 53 members of Guild ChristmasNovember Fayre 30th Presbytery attended, much more that the norm (we had to bring in more seats!) and is a measure of the affection in which from 10am till noon Roy is held and respect for his role in Presbytery. The service was followed by the usual bun fight, and again we are grateful All the usual stalls… home baking, books, to those from Giffnock South who donated baking. The short gifts, bric-a-brac etc social evening gave us the opportunity to formally welcome Roy, pay tribute to and thank our Interim Moderator Rev Just Be there!

In these CHURCH DIRECTORY modern days, the future of letter writing seems uncertain as most of us often favour electronic formats The Minister: for our correspondence. Although many fear that paper letters will soon be objects only found in a Rev Catherine Beattie BDMin museum, it seems that the aesthetic value of a well- written letter continues to appeal even to our 0141 258 7804 technology driven generations. 07709 086 767 Mobile Like me, you probably have a container of some sort in which you have filed letters and other hand- [email protected] The Minister’s written notes. Perhaps, you even revisit them from time to time, hoping to resurrect past memories or Church Officer: Letter just bring new insight in your interpretation of them. Mr Graham Morton Letter writing has been a defining aspect of our cultures. For historians, they are priceless documents revealing glimpses of life in a past era. Letters depict 0141 638 3594 the lives of ordinary people and add colour and perspective to their everyday concerns. They offer modern readers insight into their own history and the Church Office Hours: desires and concerns of their ancestors. The church office is open in the At a time when communication and travelling were slow, letter writing was the favoured method of communication used by the early Christians. The New mornings from Monday to Testament itself is essentially made of letters (21 out of 27 books). In those Friday from 9am till noon letters, Christians would share news with each other, encourage one another, remonstrate and rebuke those who strayed from the right path. The essence of 0141 638 2599 Christian teaching was, in fact, drawn from those letters and their experience has become the norm for what it means to be a Christian.

Why not try to discover what these letters, written nearly two thousand years ago, have to say to twenty first century Tony Ireland people. St Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians writes: “You yourselves are our 0141 639 6532 Home letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.

Scottish Charity:SCO007807 With love, Catherine. We Are All Going To Be Inconvenienced Enjoy a cup of tea or This is really good news. Since the “Church on the Hill“ was coffee before and erected at the end of the 1920s, anyone wishing to visit the loo after the service every before, during or after a service or concert in the Church has had Sunday to find their way through the small door at the front of the nave, or leave the building through the main door, brave the elements and re-enter through the side entrance to the halls. This is inconvenient not only for our own TEXT OF THE members but also for visitors, who are not familiar with our buildings, and who have often asked where the nearest toilet is located. MONTH Through the generosity of one of our members, a new toilet is about to be installed within the vestibule at the main entrance to the Church, which will be unisex and wheelchair friendly and have a rest area in the event of someone becoming unwell. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the Work was due to commence on Monday 21st October and the contract will take four earth, burst into jubilant song with weeks to complete during which time access to the car park will be restricted. Please music; make music to the Lord…. avoid using the car park during that week although the contractor has promised to try and the sound of singing… and leave the area as clear as possible for our Sunday Morning Service. This project has been long in the planning and we will all be relieved when it has been completed. From Psalm 98 Apologies for the puns!
