Kirkhope Church. Memorial Service for those who have been ever been bereaved, to remember and celebrate the lives of those we have loved and lost. To be led by Rev Elspeth Harley. Good wishes from Ettrick and Yarrow locum minister Jim Wallace “A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, “Wonderful Counsellor”, “Mighty God”, “Eternal Father”, “Prince of Peace.” So Isaiah, in an age of deep uncertainty and trouble in the land, brings to his people a promise from God to gladden their hearts, reassure them and point them to the Eternal Love of the One who holds them in his hands. It is a message that has inspired generations in similar circumstances and offered hope during the darkest times of history and, of course, it is one that came true when God sent His only Son, Jesus to be born in Bethlehem. At the beginning of this Advent Season, with all the uncertainty and trouble around us today, that message is as fresh and vital as ever. In our national life, on our local issues and in our family crises we often don’t know to whom we can turn for help.

  • A Christingle/Nativity Rhyming Mash-Up!
    A Christingle/Nativity Rhyming Mash-up! By Bob Hartman christingle.org Charity Registration No. 221124 The Children’s Society 2020. XTC154e/0820 XTC091d_20 Introduction to Christingle and The Children’s Society Christingle is a candle-lit, festive celebration that’s perfect for bringing families and communities together. It was first invented by the Moravian church in the 1700s, but the celebration as we know it was introduced to the Church of England by The Children’s Society in the 1960s. The celebration is named after the Christingles that are lit during it. Christingles are made from an orange decorated with red tape, sweets and a candle. They have been part of our history for over 50 years and have helped raise millions of pounds to help this country’s most vulnerable children. Each year we ask those who celebrate Christingle to hold a collection to support children and young people in some of the darkest situations imaginable. The Children’s Society Founded in 1881 by Sunday School teacher Edward Rudolf, for the last 139 years The Children’s Society has supported millions of this country’s children and restored hope to their lives. We believe in building a society that works for every child, so that they are safe, happy and free to fulfil their incredible potential. We run vital local services that provide vulnerable children across the country with the support, advice and guidance that they need, and we also campaign to make children’s lives better and change the systems that are placing them in danger. Together with this country’s young people and our amazing supporters, we’re improving life for children today and working to create a society where every child has hope for their future.

  • Dear Friends, Firstly on Behalf of Judy and Myself, Let
    Briefing 44: Tuesday 22nd December, 2020. Dear friends, Firstly on behalf of Judy and myself, let me wish you all a very happy Christmas and God’s richest blessings on you and your families for the coming year. It’s been a difficult year, but we have a great hope and a glorious saviour, and the Lord has shown his goodness to us in many ways. Judy and I would like to thank you all for your continued support and encouragement this year, as well as your sacrificial, willing service and constant prayers. It’s been a year when we’ve had to learn new skills, get used to a new normal, and rely more on God and one another than ever before, but we’ve made it through to Christmas! But as we celebrate the coming of Christ again this year, we do so against a darker backdrop than many of us have ever had to face in our lives. But that darkness cannot overcome the light and hope of Jesus. In the face of our fears and uncertainties about the future, the light of Jesus shines brighter still! He brings light to the darkness, strength to the weary, hope to the hopeless and illumines our paths. May his glorious light shine in our lives and pierce the darkness of our nation. And having received the light of Christ, so we must walk in it and share that light with others. Let’s do that with thankfulness. Despite the restrictions and disappointments the year has brought and the gloom of the media, there are so many blessings for which to thank God.

  • Children's Mass with Christingle
    Sermon by the Families Lead for Christmas Eve, Children’s Mass with Christingle. 24/12/2020. Throughout Advent, Young Church has been focusing on the name “Emmanuel”, a name that a certain prophet says will be given to special baby: “But the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be pregnant. She will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel”. It is the name destined to be given to Jesus, the Son of God. Can any of the children present today tell me what it means? It means “God is with us”. This is the message of Christmas, that God has descended from heaven to be with us, through all our joys and pains, not just for one day but forever. Today, Jesus comes to us through the Eucharist, the bread and wine. Whenever we share in the Eucharist together, we are again asking God to be with us, as individuals and as a church family. The name Emmanuel comes from a time, written about in the Old Testament, when God felt very far away. The Book of Isaiah is named after a prophet who lived in the 8th Century BC, over 700 years before Jesus was born. The message in this book is one of hope, that even though terrible things are happening, God will rebuild the holy city Jerusalem and all shall be well. We’ll come back to this message of hope from Isaiah in a moment. Today is our First Mass of Christmas with Christingle. Can anybody tell me what a Christingle is? Yes, it’s an orange with a red ribbon or tape round it, decorated with sweets and a lit candle on top.
