Sidelines
Two years ago I wrote to you from the perspective of Guy Fawkes night. Now Guy Fawkes
night has come and gone and we head towards Remembrance, yet by the time you are reading
this we will be well into Advent.
Most of us spend Advent rushing around: the ceaseless treadmill of present buying and
stocking up on food. Even in churches, though the duties are different, there is a constant
pressure to ‘do’ Christmas big-time, rather than be ‘in’ Christmas or let Christmas be ‘in’ us.
There is precious little point in regaling each other with comments about how material
Christmas has become. Christmas was always material – constructed from matter - there are
few things more material, more absolutely real, than birth itself; or journeying; or searching
for accommodation; or government decrees about a census; or being visited at unsocial hours,
when you have no means to offer hospitality, by those who cannot even give a clear account
of why they have come.
But Christmas, coming round each year, cradles faith as well as the new-born infant. It holds
us deep in renewed promises. It reminds us each time of the materiality of God’s goodness –
not some abstract idea of goodness, but goodness expressed in seeing friends and close
family, goodness expressed in sharing special food, goodness expressed in being remembered
with presents and cards, goodness expressed in nativity plays and carols and a desire for the
well-being of others. Christmas may be busy, but it is also magical. It is no wonder that when
CS Lewis wrote about his other world, Narnia, in the grip of evil, he made a cruel winter
where the snow never melted, and with no Christmas. Christmas gives us a magical, material
hope in the heart of winter.
This year, our Christmas theme is ‘the foolishness of God, which is wiser than the wisdom of
men’. For it does seem folly to us, if we stop to think about it. Our broken world is filled with
sorrow and violence and pain. What can one small baby do to turn it around? What can the
frail faith of two parents, caught up in the existence and care of their baby, do to lead us to
sense? What about those shepherds on the hill at Bethlehem, walking in the cold, believing
that an angel, a messenger of God, had promised them a new beginning? What of the ‘wise’
men who journeyed for months, maybe years, because they believed a single star meant
something significant – the sky is full of stars, growing, pulsating with light, collapsing,
dying. Of what significance was one more?
But the beating heart of this child became the pulse of faith in the church, became the
fulfilment of all we longed to be. It is in the small things, the seemingly foolish things, that
we give ourselves to again and again, trusting, like the principals in the Christmas story, that
we will see God at work in Christmas.

There isn't much sign of new life at this time of year. Leaves are now well and truly gone from trees, animals (and people!) have gone into hibernation, the rain is getting colder, and we are all wrapping up a bit more than we did a few months ago. Gone are the hazy days of summer. In fact, scrub that last part - they just didn't happen! At this time of the year people could be forgiven for thinking that the earth is dead and nothing good can come from the world around us. Yet, if we believe that then why don't we just hibernate and come out again when the weather is warmer and sunnier? Well, apart from the fact that we would be away a very long time, if we look around us we see shoots of growth and much to celebrate.
This is Brussels sprouts season! Sprouts are fabulous, just a few of them can prevent a whole host of illnesses and contrary to popular belief, they taste great. A measure of how the world is changing is that sprouts were available in shops at the end of August. I bought some and they didn't taste right because it was far too early for them to be growing. But how were they to know that? The point I want to make here is that change is happening all around us all the time, whether we realise it or not, and whether or not we like it. It is a fact. For years, as the world changed, people saw the church as being one of the few constants. Why is this? I ask, because even the church has changed over the years and that is right. If it had not changed it would have died and would look as barren as the earth we see during winter. Some may even say that the church has died and we just haven't given it a dignified send off yet. I'm not one of the some. I see shoots of new growth everywhere. Yes these are lean times for the church, but God is doing something new and wonderful through men and women, and children of faith. Here in Govan we are seeing clear signs that people are tuning into their spirituality. Of course this has always been a spiritual place, a place where in ancient times people of faith and vision brought the Christian faith. A place where for centuries, men and women of faith and vision have carried on the witness started many years ago. People we now regard as being history makers.
History makers are people who serve faithfully in their time making a difference in the here and now. That is what we are called to do as the people of God in our time. We are history makers too. What we do now impacts on the church today and the church in the future. Where is our vision? The church in Govan will grow, of that I am sure. I see it happening around us. By working together as God's co-workers, we are making history in our time. Things happen though, in God's time and his time is not our time. Sometimes we don't understand why God doesn't do things a bit quicker! But if we are to be history makers for him then we are not to rush. We are simply to trust that God is there, has a plan, and we are part of that plan. And if we remain faithful to that same God and his plan he will give us the vision we need to see the green shoots of growth around us. And think about this, if a handful of sprouts can prevent us from getting ill, how much more can a faithful, visionary, serving people prevent society from getting ill? Enjoy your sprouts this winter. Don't just keep them for Christmas day! And go and make history in the witness and mission God has called you to.

The Guild
It seems no time since the September magazine... maybe that is a sign of age, but the
months just seem to fly in. Soon it will be Christmas. The Guild resumed its activities on
15th October, our first evening was a time of organisational things necessary for us to
function. The wonderful surprise was that we had a great turn out. We discussed the
syllabus, enjoyed a short play and learned about the new Projects which we will be
involved in over the next three years.
Our next meeting was one to celebrate our 125 years since the Guild was founded.
Because of its significance, I managed to obtain the services of a National Convenor of
the Guild, who served for three years from 1981-1984. She was a wonderful speaker
taking us back in time about the Guild in former days. She shared with us experiences
she had had about the place of women and the Guild both in Malawi and here in
Scotland. This was an inspirational evening.
Last week we all enjoyed a Halloween party with the majority of the Guild members
entering into the spirit and appearing in fancy dress costume. I didn’t dress until after
the devotions, I didn’t want to worship dressed as a vampire!
This session before Christmas we will again enjoy Matthew Ramsay’s singing, Bible
study by our own Andrew, distractions from Helen Adam, a Scottish night, Theatre
South Productions and our annual Christmas dinner. The big event of 125 Anniversary
will be celebrated on Sunday 25th November at 2pm in Glasgow Cathedral. Our Guild
service will be on Sunday 18th November where we will once more dedicate ourselves,
Whose we are and whom we serve. Please join us at any time, you will be very welcome.
Thanks to all the support I receive from committee and members.
Every Blessing

GOD’S GANG (SUNDAY)
Did you see the children running around with pieces of armour? It was our ‘Armour of God’. We started with David & Goliath and then for the next six weeks we chose a piece
of armour to speak about each week. Psalm 36 v 5–10 finished our topic by using our parachute and singing deep and wide.
We also spoke about harvest and on Sept 30th we had our first God’s Gang service. The children enjoyed the service which was led by Paul. Hopefully we will be having more of these services throughout the coming year.
It is great to see children, who came along to the summer holiday, club join us on a Sunday morning.
On Sunday 11th Nov all the children of the Church formed a choir to produce a CD which will be on sale in time for Christmas.
A big thank you to everyone who supported our tearoom. Your help and donations are very much appreciated.
The children will be taking part in the Nativity Service on 23rd Dec.
All the children and helpers of God’s Gang would like to wish you and your families a
very ‘Happy Christmas and a peaceful 2013’.
CHRISTMAS
Every time a hand reaches out To help another … that is Christmas
Every time someone puts anger aside And strives for understanding
That is Christmas. Every time people forget their differences
And realise their love for each other That is Christmas.
May this Christmas bring us Closer to the spirit of human understanding Closer to the blessing of peace!
SHOEBOX APPEAL
This year, on behalf of 34th Glasgow Girls’ Brigade, I was delighted to donate 221 shoeboxes
to Blythswood Care. I also donated a large box of extras that the Charity will use to top up
other boxes which are short of a few essential items.
We would like to say thank you to everyone who donated goods or money to this appeal. It
was a fantastic effort by everyone.
Our boxes will bring a smile to someone in need this Christmas.
Well done!
Messy Mondays
As you know, we tried to envision something new at Linthouse and we tried to
establish something there on Sundays late last year and earlier this year. The early
morning slot didn't bring anyone new in, and neither did the teatime slot we tried.
We did, however, feel that the format we were using was a good one and was worth
keeping.
During the summer we talked about what else we could try and we came up with
the idea of Messy Mondays. We decided that we would run a holiday club as a
precursor to this on the October school holiday, and invite any new families who
came to the club along to Messy Mondays. Messy Mondays was to be a combination
of what we know works, and based on the Messy Church model which has worked
so well in over 1400 locations. Crucially, it would take place on a Monday (clue is in
the name really!) instead of a Sunday, and it would be for families not just children.
We start with some food, then we do a craft together. The craft then comes into a
time of worship with us and forms part of our worship, and then we finish off with a
game. This might sound very similar to a children's club, but it is not. It is a fresh
way of worshipping and exploring together and is as much 'church' as any other type
of service.
At the time of writing, we have had three of these services and they have gone
really well. Numbers are going up, new people are coming, and we really feel a
family atmosphere in the building on a Monday. We are looking at the 'I am' saying
of Jesus till December, finishing with Jesus saying 'I am the light of the world', and
the last evening of the session will be a Christingle service on 17th December. It all
starts at 5.30 and ends at 7.00 so if you know any families who want to come and
do church a different way please let them know. I look forward to letting you know
regularly how it is all going, and being able to report that the church is growing!

Communion Sunday
As agreed by the session the second collection for Communion Sunday on 3rd December
will be for the Leprosy Mission.
34th GLASGOW GIRLS’ BRIGADE
The session is now well underway and we have a good number of
children attending regularly.
The Juniors have been working on Symbols of Faith with Linda. As
part of this topic the girls have made stained glass effect windows
showing various symbols. These can be seen on the hall windows
and one on the front of this very magazine.
Bill McGinn came to visit us from the Session and sat in on one of
the lessons. He also visited each section seeing what they were
doing. Later the children came together and sang a song for him.
After the children went home, Bill joined us for tea and had a talk
with the Leaders. It was very nice to welcome a member of the
Session to see what was going on in our Company.
The Brigaders have been making a large collage poppy for
Remembrance Sunday. It looks very effective and we will put it out
for everyone to see.
The older girls have also been doing Bokwa. Bokwa is a type of
workout routine where participants draw letters and numbers with
their feet. Believe me it is a workout for the body and the brain!
We have had our Fancy Dress Party which was a great success
with lots of fantastic costumes including an iPod, a can of coke,
vampires, witches and princesses.
We are looking forward to a visit from the local Community
Policeman who has asked to come and talk to the girls about
safety.
For the Shoebox Appeal this year we managed to fill 221 boxes.
This was achieved with the help of many people in the
congregation. We very much appreciate the donations given to us
for the shoeboxes.
We will be joining the rest of the children in the Church to make a
Christmas CD. This CD will be sold and the profits will go to the
Restoration Fund.
The Christmas Fayre will be on Saturday 1st December 11am - 3pm
at Govan Cross. There will be gift stalls, tombola, tearoom and
Santa’s Grotto. If you have any unwanted gifts that we could sell
please hand them in to the Church Office before 30th November.
The 34th Glasgow Girls’ Brigade would like to wish everyone a
Peaceful Christmas and a Happy, healthy 2013.
Sandra MacDonald
On Wednesday the third of October 2012, it was my great pleasure, to
visit on behalf of the Kirk Session, the 34th.Glasgow Company, The Girls’
Brigade. I went along to the church at seven o’clock and going upstairs I
could hear the Explorers in the Session House; however it was fitting
that I first meet with the Captain, to let her know that I was there. Sandra
made me welcome and told me that the Explorers would soon join the
others in the hall. In the hall at that time was Linda who was taking a
group of Juniors for bible study. There were 12 girls in the group and I
was pleased with the way the girls ignored my presence and listened
carefully to Linda after I had told them why I was in attendance. Linda
explained that the girls are studying words in the bible and during my
visit it was “light” that they were concentrating on, and the girls could tell
me how many times the word “light” appeared in both the old and new
testaments. One of the girls had her bible open at Genesis Chapter One
and read the verse where God said “let there be light”. Linda then
produced a bag full of small torches, batteries, key rings and some cord
which the girls joined for their personal usage. Next the wee ones
entered the hall. The Captain called for the Brigader’s to come from the
back room and all the girls were asked to sit on the floor. I then repeated
why I was present and the assembled company then sung the chorus
“welcome everybody”. Next there was a dance the company are learning
led by Elizabeth Anne, everyone took part and I said to Captain “wow
that floor does bounce”. I was going to take my leave but was invited to
have tea with the staff after they had set out the tables for Saturday. It
was a lovely evening and I would hope that I can pay another visit at a
later date.
By the way, there were seven very good members of staff.
Thirteen Explorers, two of whom are James and Grant, on the roll are
twenty one, so a few were missing.
There were twelve Junior’s out of twenty.
But the Brigader’s had ten out of ten, well done girls!
Bill McGinn, visiting Elder.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL
I would like to thank you all once again for another
year of fantastic support. The word we get back from
our two charity’s show us what a difference we make to
people’s lives, more than we can ever imagine.
Some of us went to see the premier showing of the
film made to show the work done by Mary’s meals
called child 31. I can’t imagine many watching this
could have failed to have been moved by the children’s
desperate need of our help, yet they were so cheery
and thankful for the smallest gifts they received. I
knew that day what a difference our support meant to
them. So I hope you all have a wonderful but peaceful
Christmas and a good new year.
And I am sure I can count on you all once again in
the next year to come. A big thank you too from all at
both Mary’s meals and Action Aid and of course myself.

Mary’s Meals A.G.M.
A huge thank you must go to Rose McLoughlin for all the work she does in collecting for
Mary’s Meals and those of us who went along to the A.G.M. and heard and saw all the
work done by this wonderful service came home wanting to do more to help. Should

Church Flower Calendar for 2013
This will be available shortly in the Church vestibule. A huge thank you to our Church
Members and friends who give so regularly to our Church Flowers. If you would like to
have a Special Date and maybe find out that the date has been taken – why not share
with the other person?
Smarties
If you don’t already know about this then please see Sandra MacDonald, we are raising
funds for the church refurbishment and we have lots of Smarties tubes which can be
filled with either 20p or £1 coins, there is an exact amount that each tube will hold
which makes it easier to count up. So please start saving up your coins.
Buy a Roof Slate
We have a wonderful structure built by Billy Stevely which sits in the church hall, it is a design of the church and we are selling slates for the roof for £5 per slate. You donate your money, write on the slate and then we will have list drawn up of all the names who own a slate. If Rangers can sell bricks, we can sell slates!
We also have a large Barometer in the hall which will let you see how our fund raising is going, last time I checked we were up to £2000. Every little penny counts.
Funnies
One Sunday during a bad ice storm, the preacher and one old farmer were the only ones
to make it into Church. After waiting a while it became evident no one else was coming,
so the preacher asked the farmer if he still wanted him to preach his sermon. The
farmer replied “I guess if I went out to feed my cows and only one showed up, I’d still
feed that one.” So the preacher delivered his sermon just as he had planned it, a full
hour of hellfire and brimstone, quite a moving discourse. After he was finished he asked
the old farmer what he thought, the farmer replied “I guess if I went out to feed my cows
and only one showed up, I wouldn’t give that one all the hay.”
************************************
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around,
looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
'Jesus knows you're here.'
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.
When he heard nothing more , after a bit, he shook his head and
continued.
Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as
a bell he heard
'Jesus is watching you.'
Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source
of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.
'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that Jesus is watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
'Moses,' replied the bird.
'Moses!' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of idiots would name a bird
Moses?'
'The kind of idiots that would name a Rottweiler, Jesus!'
Kids Corner
Psalm 122 Sermon G and L - 4th
November 2012.
This week there has been a lot of publicity about the opening of the new building on the
London sky-line, the Shard, which will be the tallest building in the world and the best place,
so they say, to view the city of London spread out. I read a very interesting interview last
week on cities of the future. The designs that are creating the most comment are those which
are eco-cities, modelled on nature, and there is a growing number of landscape architects,
especially in Australia and South East Asia who are experimenting with these ideas. The one
you can see is based on a lily –pad idea, that is, it is a floating city and could be used where
the changing climate has created a flood plain where there used to be land. Fifty thousand
people could live in this city.
For me it begs a lot of questions- maybe there are people out there working on those very
questions, I am no expert, I have simply read one interview. But would there be lots of these
eco-cities in a cluster near where there used to be a land city, like New Orleans or Venice?
And would having these separated lily-pads mean that people didn’t identify with people
from other lily-pads? 70% of the world’s population is currently living in cities, which leaves
only 30% to grow our food. Where would you grow food in the eco-city, or would you have
to find new sources of staple food, like dredging for sea plants? If you think that they don’t
have the engineering to create such cities, I suspect they do. Look at Dubai, where against all
the odds they have recreated sand-spits out into the sea and built on them. But expensive
engineering projects make for expensive properties. Can you imagine a scene where the coast
around a former city is ringed with lily-pads, while what is left of the land houses the poor,
the unemployed, migrants and those with social problems? And would you need a passport to
get one of the ferries across to the eco-city? Isn’t this kind of design as much about keeping
some people out as letting others in? Where do the bruised go, in cities such as this? Where
do they go when they can’t get in.
It was the Roman Emperor, Hadrian, who first expelled the Jews from the city of Jerusalem.
For centuries they were only allowed to return, for one day each year, Tisha B’av, to mourn
for the destruction of the Temple. They went to the Western Wall and wept, that’s why it is
sometimes called the Wailing Wall, and it wasn’t until 1967, the Six Days War, that they
were finally and freely allowed to pray at the wall any day they chose. Of course, they are not
going to give it back again – I wouldn’t, in their shoes, in spite of a UN Security Resolution.
Jerusalem must be one of the most bruised cities on earth. Simon Montefiore, in his epic
biography of the city, also televised, said:
‘Jerusalem is the Holy City, yet it has always been a den of superstition, charlatanism and
bigotry; the desire and prize of empires, yet of no strategic value; a city of many names- yet
each tradition is so sectarian that it excludes any other. This is a place of such delicacy that
it is described in the Jewish sacred literature in the feminine –always a sensual, living
woman, always a beauty, but sometimes a shameless harlot, sometimes a wounded princess
whose lovers have forsaken her. Jerusalem is the house of the one God, the capital of two
peoples, the temple of three religions – and she is the only city to exist twice- in heaven and
on earth.’
It is to this complex city that our Psalmist turns his attention. Psalm 122 is a Psalm of Ascent,
a psalm of pilgrimage, where the pilgrims headed for the city for a festival, after their long
walk up through the Kidron valley (it is still the main route to and from Jerusalem) look
down from the Mount of Olives and see the city spread out before them. We see the Dome of
the Rock, in the Psalmist’s day, they saw the Temple raised above the city, and all the
huddled buildings within the city walls.
According to the bible, the tribes of Israel had always quarrelled, there were many divisions
within God’s people. And even in the Psalmist’s day, that human tendency was demonstrated
in the politics of the broken kingdom, where Samaria in the north had rebelled against the
kings of Judah, the descendants of King David, and set up their own ruler. Yet, for the
Psalmist, Jerusalem is a visible symbol of their underlying unity. They are collectively the
tribes of the Lord in Jerusalem. When they go to Jerusalem to worship God they are His
people, and that worship is something which carries them beyond all their separate identities.
In Jerusalem, they are God’s people- together.
The city is also a visible symbol of God-given power. If you look in straight ahead, there is
the Temple, built by King Solomon so that the people would worship only the one God. If
you look in another direction, there are the Law Courts, where the King’s decisions touch on
the lives of ordinary people, in their relations with one another, in their relations with people
from other countries. Both the Law Courts and the Temple affect the whole life of the people,
and both were built by King David’s descendant, Solomon. The gift of kingly power
promised by God to David’s family, is made visible in this city that David captured, and
turned into his capital. And on that power, the internal life of the city’s inhabitants depends,
their shalom, their well-being, is what holds their social world together.
And the city is a visible symbol of God, it is the city of God. The Psalmist is overwhelmed by
the wonder of the city and all that it means to him and his people. As soon as he stands on the
Mount of Olives, he says ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord’. The Temple draws him.
Modern Israelis have a saying : ‘you go to Tel Aviv to play, and Jerusalem to pray’.
Everything, their peace, prosperity and their security is centred upon the prayers sung in the
house of the Lord, the city’s heart. This is God’s city- the city of peace.
It is strange how for us it is the very reverse. Rather than being a symbol of unity we see all
the bitterness of its divisions. Moslems, Jews and Christians all regard it as a Holy City and
they have divisions enough. But not only that, among the different Jewish groups there are
divisions. The Moslems, who worship there, are not all from the same sect. Among the
different Christian denominations, there are divisions. In one church, Holy Sepulchre, four
different groups claim ownership in part, and at the major festivals of Christmas or Easter,
there are sometimes violent clashes. Jerusalem is a place which for us symbolises violence,
not peace, not peace.
‘If the house is worthy,’ Jesus said in Matthew’s Gospel, ‘let your peace come upon it’. He
was speaking of the future, the future of his little flock, of those who love him, and the inner
peace, the dream of peace, which we still cling to.
So we must ask ourselves, on a day, as last week and on Friday, this is our third baptism in
eight days, when another child comes to the door of the church - do we make peace, do we
live in peace, is there an underlying unity that holds together our well-being, and can we
build a future which reflects that God has been here, living among us?
‘I will say, Peace be within you.
For the sake of the house of the Lord Our God,
I will seek your good.’
Silent Eyes. P Simon.
Silent Eyes
Watching
Jerusalem
Make her bed of stones
Silent Eyes
No one will comfort her
Jerusalem
Weeps alone
She is sorrow
Sorrow
She burns like aflame
And she calls my name
Silent Eyes
Burning
In the desert sun
Halfway to Jerusalem
And we shall all be called as witnesses
Each and every one
To stand before the eyes of God
And speak what was done.
