Hi Folks, For over 125 yearspeople have gathered in ourbeautiful church to worship God.Many have now entered into theireternal rest, many others havetravelled across the face of theearth to make their homes indifferent countries. All havethanked God for the vision whichled people of faith to build this livingchurch here in Viewpark. Withoutthe church our lives would havebeen very much the poorer. Dowe always acknowledge the debtof gratitude we owe to the churchand to God?
I think it is good, as we come to theend of another year, to look backand see what God has done, andthen look forward and see whatGod can still do and must do. Afterall this time a church becomes anaccepted part of the community.It is there in the background if weneed it. There are few folk whowould like to be without it – but, youcan rest assured, there would be agreater ‘hue and cry’ if the bakerfailed to turn up for a week, thanthere would be if the church ofJesus Christ was to disappear fromOld Edinburgh Road. For so manypeople the baker’s bread is amatter of life and death, while thechurch of Jesus Christ is one oflife’s extras – a handy thing to havein the background but not essentialfor daily living.
Can we, as members of that church,change this attitude? Can we bringGod into the foreground of people’slives? Can we show thiscommunity, in which we live, that lifewithout God is no life at all? Canwe help them to see that it canmake all the difference to dailyliving?
I believe that this is the challengewhich lies before us in 2019 – tobring God into the centre of thecommunity – to show people thatthe Bread of Life is as important asthe bread from the baker.
If we are to achieve this end wemust be energetically active toensure that the Gospel is known byall. This involves caring for othersand exhibiting within our owncongregation a true familyfellowship. May God grant us thestrength to achieve this end in theyear that lies ahead.
May the love of God prompt all yourmotives and His peace surround allyour actions this Christmas time andin the New Year.
From all of us in the Manse we sendyou our warmest good wishes andlove for Christmas and the comingyear.
Yours aye,
Michael

KIRK SESSION NOTES
David S AlexanderSession Clerk
The Kirk Session met on 3 October 2018.
Session noted that D Ritchie had attendeda meeting with regard to Data Protectionorganised by Presbytery. The reportfrom the meeting would be discussed ata future meeting.
The War memorial for Aitkenhead UFParish Church has been constructed fromthe old Communion table. Sessionagreed to locate it adjacent to theMemorial on the Glasgow side of theSanctuary and to dedicate it onRemembrance Sunday.
Session noted that Presbytery hadapproved in principle works to the LargeHall and also advised that grants had beenreceived from the Ferguson Bequest Fund(£5,000) and the Bellahouston BequestFund (£5,000). In addition Presbyteryhad given approval in principle for theManse proposal and it was hoped to havediscussions with the developer in the nearfuture.
The Clerk reported that the Big Lottery haddecided to fund in full half of D Wilson’ssalary. Accordingly the remission inM&M of £3,500 from Presbytery was nolonger necessary. Session agreed toadvise the Presbytery’s Stewardship &Finance Committee of this and to applyfor a remission for a different purpose.In relation to the proposed extension, theClerk advised that a grant had beenreceived from the AllChurches Trust(£2,200).
Session then had a presentation on apossible different approach to pastoralcare not involving Elder Districts. Thematter would be further discussed.
Since the last issue of the magazine thePresbytery has met on 19 June, 4 Septemberand 2 October 2018.
The June meeting took place in theModerator’s Church at Wishaw: Craigneuk& Belhaven: the business session beingpreceded by Communion. The businesssession was relatively light with businesslargely being routine.
The Presbytery approved the Property Reportwhich contained approval in principle forViewpark to proceed in seeking grants forre-slating the Large Hall roof and to furtherthe proposal to redevelop the Manse site.
PRESBYTERY NOTES
The View Magazine 4
The October meeting agreed to restore theright of call to Chapelhall lw Kirk O’Shottsafter a review – this is a result of a changein church law whereby if a congregation isgranted a right of call and no one is calledby the end of 2 years there must be areview of that decision.
In addition the Presbytery agreed tooppose a further mandatory cut in thenumber of posts allocated to thePresbytery; in the case of Hamilton thiswould amount to the loss of a further 12posts and the need for a further round ofPresbytery planning. Instead thePresbytery opted to accept advisoryfigures which would indicate what thePresbytery’s “fair share” would be of theprojected number of ministers available.
Presbytery also agreed to ask Kirk Sessionsto consider their training needs to besupported by the Development Officer.
In addition it was noted that places wereavailable for Bereavement and Funeraltraining.
David S AlexanderPresbytery Elder

You get to be like the people ye bide with ......
So my mum used to say as I was growing up and trying to choose the rightfriends. Another favourite of hers was ..... if ye fly with the crows, ye getshot. Both sayings really mean the same thing - the people and things youspend time with rub off on you. If you spend time with gossips, you becomeone; if you spend time with loving people, you become loving.
The same is true about our faith. The more time you spend with God, themore your thoughts and reactions become like His. That's why it's importantto do that - to renew our minds to what He wants us to think about and howHe wants us to behave.
The same is true with spending time with like-minded people. That's whycoming to a group in church is vital. There we share the common love of Godand we build ourselves up to be the kind of person He always planned us tobe.
So, don't spend your time watching things, speaking about things, sharingthings, thinking about things that will make you sad, uncomfortable, weary,unpleasant to be around ..... instead get close to Jesus. His influence in yourlife is by far the best one.
For a life filled with love, grace, mercy, kindness, gentleness, generosity andself control, He's the best person to hang around with.

in your community from an award-winning charity

CAP is now working at full capacity and, I must say, it is a pleasure to be part of aChurch team that offers practical help to everyone in our community.
My batteries were low before I travelled the many miles to Blackburn for our annualconference. As I arrived at the venue the warmth of my colleagues started to filterthrough to me. Exchanging stories about ordinary people like you and me meetingJesus was a great start. The first day was filled with great worship, on a par withour Viewpark band. It was so refreshing to see so many people just thanking Godfor his Son.
The main speaker was a Church-planting pastor from London. The very real accountof his Churches in Essex was fantastic. We all, I think, have that voice in us thatjust makes us move to do things. Some call it a form of prophesy or a word in theSpirit that needs to come out and lead us to the will of Jesus. Sometimes thishappens when we are at the lowest point as a Christian and we feel embarrassed todo Christian work, whatever that is. That week, at the conference, people lookingon may have struggled to know that I was a Christian. However, God can and doesstill use us, even when we feel this way.

Billy WatsonCentre Manager, Viewpark
The young pastor at the conference painted a picture of how his Church looks. Instead ofbeing a perfect circle with all the people safely in the circle he drew something that lookedlike this:-
It was meant to show that we are all different, but we’re all on a journey either goingtowards Jesus or going away from Jesus. When Jesus met people he did not judge thembut accepted them all. From the rich young ruler to the tax collector, he acceptedeveryone. He never changed his stance against sin, but he cared so much for us he gaveus this chance to get back to God by accepting his offer of redemption and inviting him intoour lives. We let him down often but what the pastor reminded us all is - we are all equalin God’s eyes. ‘ have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23). Someof our sin is there for the Daily Record and BBC etc to see, but many hidden sins are theretoo. The parable of the puffed up Pharisee praying loudly and thanking God that he is notlike ‘these sinners’ (Luke 18:10-14) is a great lesson to us all.
We are so blessed with the fantastic mixed bag of failed people which is known as ViewparkParish Church. We know that we are here not to teach people to become ‘middle class’or ‘good people’ but to tell people about the love and sacrifice of Jesus.
Thanks again for all your support and prayers.
Jesus

UPDATING THE CHURCH WAR MEMORIALSThe War memorial for Aitkenhead UF Church hasbeen finished. This replaces the rather shabbypaper version that was in a frame dating back to1923. The new memorial has been made from theformer communion table which used to sit below thepulpit (where the cross on the south wall is now).It is a fitting reminder of the twenty-four young menwho went off gallantly to fight for their country inthe First World War, innocent of the horrors thatlay in front of them, and who never came home totheir families. It was also putting to good use anotherwise redundant piece of furniture that servedthe church well in the past and was currentlygathering dust in a cupboard. Unfortunately, thecommunion table’s original history is unknown.
There has now been considerable research carried out regarding the mennamed on all three war memorials in the Church. The other two warmemorials are from the Bothwell Park UF Church, situated on the lefthand side of the south wall, and from The Thornwood Mission Church (asthe present church was previously known).
The longer term plan is to create a booklet in the church library giving ashort history of each man: where each was born; where he went to school;where he lived; who his family was and, of course, where and when he died.
This may be added at a later date as an extension to the church web pagefor everybody to view. This extension will name all the local men from theTannochside Area, not just from our own church, who died during the FirstWorld War. Some of the men have known graves in foreign lands, mostlyin Europe but some further afield. Others have no known grave. They arejust names on vast memorials in France and Belgium. And some werefortunate to return, only to die at home or in military hospitals.
An even longer-term plan is to create a lasting memorial fixed to the brickwall at Tannochside Gate opposite Scotmid. This plan will need outsidefunding such as lottery money or landfill trust funding. Much carefulthought needs to given to this project and this will take time.
