Parish Record Winter 2013/14 SKELMORLIE AND WEMYSS BAY PARISH CHURCH Parish Record Winter 2013/14 Archie & Christine Speirs with the painting by Gavin Nicol www.SkelmorlieWemyssBayChurch.org Cover Photo The photograph on the cover shows the Minister Archie and his wife Christine with the picture of the Clyde which was a gift from the Linked charges of Inverkip and Skelmorlie and Wemyss Bay. Archie said of the painting – ‘ The gift of the painting is just stunning, and I should like to mention just how talented the local artist Gavin Nicol is. You need to stand back and look at the painting and it just seems to come alive with its colours and perspective. It is as if you are standing there looking out towards Arran.’ 2 From the Minister ………. Well the summer has gone and winter is here with its cold north winds and heavy rain, but the views of the Firth of Clyde with its ships and the ferry are just stunning no matter what time of year. The beauty of the scenery is also reflected in the warmth and kindness given to Christine and I and this has made our journey from further up the Clyde so much easier and we can’t thank you enough. Jesus spent a great deal of his time in a boat sometimes just watching Peter and Andrew James and John fish. At other times he would use the boat not to catch fish but to catch people. Again this day a great crowd gathered at the water’s edge at the Sea of Galilee. People were hearing about this man from Nazareth and they wanted to see him for themselves and listen to what he had to say. Jesus was connecting with people in a way that the religious teachers and political rulers of his day could not. From that boat Jesus was reaching out to people and saying,” This is the way the world is, but come and follow me and I will show you a better way.” Jesus wants to use us to catch people. We have some big challenges ahead of us and as part of the Presbytery Plan for Inverkip, Skelmorlie and Wemyss Bay Liz Geddes as our Ordained Local Minister will soon come and join us in those challenges. Liz will be ordained on the 27th November in Skelmorlie & Wemyss Bay Parish Church and I know that you will make Liz and her husband Jim just as welcome. You are a wonderful congregation, a congregation who wants to hear what Jesus has to say to us. “Come and follow me and I will teach you to catch people.” I think of those times out in a boat looking at the scenery around me, the Firth of Clyde, the mountains, things take on a different perspective; the quietness and the beauty are food for the soul. I think about Jesus out on the boat where the beauty of his life could be seen even from the shore. When James and John, Peter and Andrew were out fishing they had to work together to bring in the catch and over the coming years we will be asked to work together in new ways. Like fisherman we need to adapt to where the fish are, the different weather conditions, but the greatest thing of all we know that Jesus is in the boat with us. Christine and I are looking forward to our first Christmas with you. Not that long away now, only a matter of weeks, but it is still an amazing thought that God became like us that we might become like him. This Christmas time may the Lord continue to richly bless us as we fish together, thank you all for the support you have given me and for the wonderful welcome you have given Christine and I. Your Minister Archie 3 DIARY OF SERVICES CHRISTMAS 2013 December 1 11.30am Morning Worship: 1st in Advent: December 8 11.30am Holy Communion: 2nd in Advent: December 15 11.30am Christmas Family Gift Service 3rd in Advent.

Presbytery has appointed Liz Geddes to that post and set the date for her induction on 27th November. In consultation with the two Kirk Sessions we have agreed a work plan with Liz as the post is a part time non stipendary position consisting of a Sunday plus ten hours during the week. That work plan is a basis for a contract being drawn up between ourselves Liz and Presbytery who ultimately have responsibility for Liz and her appointment. Liz is very pleased to be appointed to us and is looking forward to being part of the ministry with us. I will still be the minister for both churches as you have graciously called me to be your minister. May The Lord continue to richly bless us as we journey together. Your Minister Archie LIZ GEDDES Presbytery has agreed that Mrs Liz Geddes, one of a number of Ordained Local Ministers (OLM) be attached to our linked charge. Once formally ordained, an OLM is in effect a full Minister of Word and Sacrament. Liz will be ordained at a special Presbytery service conducted by the Moderator The Revd Kenneth Gray within Skelmorlie and Wemyss Bay Parish Church on Wednesday 27th November at 7 pm. Following the service, there will be a finger buffet served in the hall. Liz has been an elder at St Machar’s and Ranfurly, Bridge of Weir for over 25 years. She lives with her husband Jim in Bridge of Weir who has been with her on a number of visits to our churches over the last few weeks. They have two daughters, Joanna and Jessica. She has served for many years as a Reader in Presbytery and has also acted as Locum at several churches within Presbytery including Barrhead Bourock, Inchinnan , and more recently, Martyrs’ l/w Sandyford, Paisley so she brings a wealth of experience in preaching and pastoral care We look forward to getting to know Liz and Jim during their time with us and we welcome them most warmly to our church. 3 Jason Goodwin Wemyss Bay Handy Man Pharmacy General Home Repairs Open Mon - Fri 9am till 6pm Garden Work Early Closing Saturday 1pm Paving, Fencing etc For advice on health matters plus a wide choice of gifts [email protected] Home Deliveries good rates good rates Tel: 648683 Tel: 522995 FRIDAY SOUPS Please come along at 12.15pm to the Church Hall - there you will be warmly greeted with a wholesome bowl of soup, delicious filled roll, coffee and biscuits, all for £3.50 It’s a great place to catch up with friends, meet new friends and generally enjoy a nutritious lunch in pleasant surroundings.

  • Newsletter No.6
    Newsletter No.6 Stuart McMillan MSP Greenock and Inverclyde Constituency Serving Port Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock, Wemyss Bay and Inverkip Hello and welcome to my latest newsletter. It has been a very eventful few months with both the Council elections and the recent General Election. The rules of Purdah mean that I have had to refrain from sending out my monthly newsletter as normal. First of all, I’d like to congratulate Ronnie Cowan on his successful re-election as MP for Inverclyde. Ronnie has been a hard working MP and has set off on a project to help deliver social and economic opportunities locally. This is a project that I am sure he can complete with another 5 years at the helm. I look forward to working with him to ensure that happens. I would also like to congratulate all of our recently elected councillors, including those who are new to their prospective roles. I look forward to working with them all over the coming years. I was delighted to pledge my support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Campaign. The Scottish Government have campaigned tirelessly for a better deal for our older people – including by supporting the excellent WASPI campaign. In the Scottish Parliament, we have protected and invested in vital social policies like free personal care for the elderly and will protect the Winter Fuel Payment. The Scottish Government will continue to fully support the WASPI campaign in their efforts to secure fairness for the millions of women affected. Health Secretary Confirms No Cuts to ITU at IRH The Greenock Telegraph recently reported that employees and consultants have been informally told that the Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) which caters for patients at the IRH who need intensive treatment after an operation, will close in January.

  • Administration and Divisions
    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

  • Guide to Wemyss Bay 1879
    Guide to Wemyss Bay, Skelmorlie, Inverkip, Largs and surrounding districts . – Published 1879 This download text is provided by the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Greenock - © 2009 WEMYSS BAY. Although included in the quoad sacra Parish of Skelmorlie, Wemyss Bay is a separate group of houses, lying on the north side of the railway station, and, like Skelmorlie, is a watering-place of modern origin. The houses, numbering in all about 20, are irregularly built in a bay, with a beautiful beach gently sloping down to the water's edge, and securely sheltered from the north and east winds by a range of well-wooded heights. At either extremity, the bay is bounded by red sandstone rocks of irregular appearance, worn and honey-combed by the action of the waves. “A considerable extent of the beach to the north of the bay is also composed of this same red sandstone, intermingled with a coarse conglomerate and dykes of trap, but in several places it relaxes into a kind of rough gravel or shingle, which forms a convenient footing for the bather, and affords an easy launching place for small fishing boats, and other kindred craft.” Originally, Wemyss Bay formed part of the Ardgowan estate, (Sir Michael Shaw Stewart's), and was given to Wallace of Kelly in return for the lands of Finnock, in the year 1814. Kelly was sold in two distinct and nearly equal portions,—Mr. Scott of Glasgow purchasing the one (Kelly portion), and Mr. Wilsone Brown (also of Glasgow) being the purchaser of the other. The latter built the Castle (Castle Wemyss), and feued several portions of the ground, but was obliged to sell in the year 1860, when Mr.

  • Renfrew~H I Re Local H I 3Tory
    RLHF Journal Vol.2 (1990) 2. Renfrewshire's historic monuments - a heritage under threat: A summary of local archaeological problems with a bibliography and brief site list. Gordon McCrae It is said that the past is another country. If this is true, the more distant past often seems like an alien planet. The recent welcome flood of books and pamphlets about the history of our area has done little to change this perception. The study and reinterpretation of medieval, Roman and prehistoric Renfrewshire remains sadly neglected. This may be due, in part, to the problems which confront a local historian trying to make sense of the archaeological record. These problems include (a) - lack of a current bibliography of sources, or an accessible site list, for use as an introduction to local monuments; (b) the fact that much important information is only available in out-of-print books and obscure periodicals; (c) the difficulty of dealing with the large gaps in the archaeological record; which is compounded by (d) ,recent wholesale reinterpretation of classes of monuments due to advances in archaeological techniques. Finally (e) the scientific and technical nature of these techniques which make them the exclusive preserve of 'experts'. Another persistent problem, since the demise of the Renfrewshire Archaeological Society, has been the lack of a local forum for people interested in discussion, fieldwork and preservation. Various bodies have sponsored investigations over the years - Paisley Museum, Glasgow Archaeological Society, Renfrewshire Natural History Society, The Ancient Monuments Inspectorate, The Ordnance Survey, and, more recently, the Regional Archaeologist and the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust.
