To my church family,
December is well and truly upon us! It is now time for a popular Glaswegian pastime: talking about the weather. Every year the same thing happens – days draw in and temperatures plummet. It’s the return
of the rain and wind that gets right into our bones!
But there are also many things to celebrate this month. Yesterday (2 December) concluded our three-day Christmas Tree Festival. And what a success it was! A celebration of our community, music, food, a visit from the First Minister and a substantial amount of money raised in aid of the Lodging House Mission, which will go to support the work they do with those who are suffering from the effects of poverty. I must take this time to thank all those who contributed, including all the community organisations, schools and businesses that took part, our Lunch Stop and the Grace & Flavour Cafe, as well as Lynn Gibb and Gill Maclean, who organised the music. Thank you to all who took part in the many weeks and
months of planning, especially to Joyce McNae, who truly did us proud.
We will have plenty of exciting opportunities to worship together this month, including a Choir Service on 10 December and a visit from the Moderator of the General Assembly on 17 December. Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, which means that we will have three services: our regular 11am Sunday morning service, an evening Carols by Candlelight service and a solemn 11:45pm Watchnight
service for those willing to brave a late winter’s night.
In the new year we will be welcoming a new Associate Minister, the Rev Dr Ewan Kelly, into our church family. I won’t write too much, as you will all have the opportunity to get to know him, but I am confident that God will use Ewan and his
unique skills and experiences to encourage and build up our congregation and parish.
We may well be tempted to invest all of our thoughts in the busyness of Christmas and the challenges and opportunities of 2018, but today marks the beginning of Advent, a time of holy waiting. Our workaday lives are dominated by sequences of tasks, one thing after another. But Advent is a challenge to the Christian—to the world—to wait. If you’ve seen the haste with which ‘Christmas’ has invaded supermarkets, you’ve seen evidence of our societal inability to wait. We want it all now! But Advent is a time for God’s Spirit to challenge our busyness, urging us to slow down and reflect. We are the people of Advent, those who have heard the promise of God to bring the Kingdom of love, peace and justice. But as our experience of the brokenness of the present has taught us, we must be those who also wait. This is no idle waiting, but active waiting, living in the here and now and
calling out to God in word and deed, ‘O come, O come, Emmanuel!’
May we be drawn closer to the God who comes to us and drawn closer to one another
in this season of Advent.
Your friend, Elijah

Office is open for business on 3rd, 10th and 17th December.
To enable the Post Office staff to join in a bit of the morning

Club 170 The Club continues to open its doors every Sunday at 5 pm to provide a hot nourishing meal to those in need. The numbers remain lower than they were a few years ago, but on 12th November for example we had 23 attending, which was encouraging for the volunteers. At the end of this month we will sadly be saying farewell to Leslie Slaven and his wife Gayle who are moving to a new home near Dunoon. He has been a strong supporter since the Club’s inception 15 years ago and has undertaken many tasks to ensure its smooth running. For example, he helped with the pick up of bread and cakes from Greggs every week, organised the “ Bun Run” for rolls and milk on Sunday mornings, took the minutes at our meetings and much more. Our sadness at his departure has been partly offset by the willingness of members of the congregation not previously involved to offer their services, so the “Bun Run” to Greggs on Saturdays and to Asda on Sundays will continue ! We are very grateful for these new additions to our team of volunteers. We are also grateful to the management of Locavore Organic Food and Veg. for their offer of fruit and vegetables from time to time. We will be participating in the forthcoming Tree Festival and will have our special Christmas Meal later in December. As always, the Club is grateful for the continuing prayerful support and encouragement of Kirk Session and congregation.

TREE FESTIVAL Over the last five weeks we have been keeping the congregation informed
(and hopefully encouraged!) of developments in the planning for the Tree
Festival.
At the time of writing we have just discovered that the 4 foot tree in a pot has
grown to 5 foot in a stand – “don’t panic Captain Mainwaring.” 30 trees from
QPG teams, schools, a nursery, charities and businesses will be on display.
The trees arrive at the church next Wednesday morning. Groups will come in
to decorate their tree during Wednesday afternoon and/or Thursday ready for
the opening on Thursday evening.
We have advertised as widely as we can by word of mouth, posters, leaflets,
banner outside the church, Govanhill Informaton Update - who also said “An
opportunity for local organisations to decorate individual trees and raise
awareness of their work through this event.” There is also a Tree Festival
Facebook page which has been picked up and promoted by What’s On
Glasgow.
There is a variety of musical entertainment and a café and shop “open all
hours”
By the time you read this the Tree festival will be over bar the pine needles
which we will be finding until June! The idea was to involve the community
and with 30 groups taking part we are off to a good start………

NEWS FROM THE FOODBANK
We continue to have approximately 20-30 people coming to the Foodbank on
Thursdays, the majority of whom are from the Queens Park Hotel. Some
have a microwave, others only a kettle.
We hand out 140-210 tins each week, which based on the most basic tinned
food alone would cost £100-£150 if we need to buy.
Each person coming to the Foodbank is given a bag of food for three days
which contains :
Lunch : Soup – spaghetti – beans
Dinner : Irish stew – Macaroni – Meatballs – Veg.
Tea bags & biscuits.
The tinned meals vary depending on what has been donated. Clients are
asked if they need cereal/porridge coffee, sugar,pasta & rice. These items
used to be included as standard but we found many people didn't require
them, just the tinned food.
We are intending to hand out a “Christmas Dinner” on the last Thursday
before Christmas as well as the usual food bag. The dinner will be: Soup
Tinned meat, potatoes & vegetables
Christmas pudding or tinned fruit
Through our Facebook page (Queens Park Govanhill Foodbank – check it
out!) we have a number of people outwith the congregation who now
regularly donate food. We even have one person who donates fortnightly
though the bank. The Wee Beer shop on Pollokshaws road has a collecting
can for us. Charges from bags go in the can. Locovore on Nithsdale Road is
running a two month scheme asking their customers to donate an item. They
are also going to donate fruit on a regular basis for a trial period to see what
the demand for fruit is.
Look out for fund raising events in the new year. We are hoping to have an
“Italian Meal” due to our abundance of pasta!
Watch this space!
We give thanks to God for providing the much needed support from the
congregation and our sponsors which is much appreciated .

Let Jesus Show !
9
The nativity scene with all its
characters was in place, as
the children (representing
angels) gathered round the
manger. They sang: ‘Glory to
God in the highest and on
earth peace goodwill among
men’.
Suddenly a small girl on the
edge of the crowd who
couldn’t see what was going
on shouted out, ‘ Let Jesus
show!’
At Christmas time we want to
let Jesus show, in our
churches, communities and
lives. We have an amazing
message to share: ‘ in the town
of David a Saviour has been
born to you; He is the Messiah,
the Lord. ( Luke 2:10) It was
to the shepherds, apart from
his parents, that Jesus first
showed.
The filthy hard-working
shepherds, avoided by almost
everybody, living in the fields
outside the village with their
flock of dirty, smelly animals--
these were unlikely
candidates for such an
honour. By the very nature of
their work they had the status
of migrant workers.
Yet this underlines for us that
the good news of Christmas is
for everyone , irrespective of
social standing, background,
race or gender.
No doubt these simple
shepherds would have had no
idea of what the names given
to Jesus fully meant ( that is,
Saviour, Messiah and Lord)
All they needed to know, and
all we need to know is that
God has done something
unique in coming to earth as a
human being. This is good
news of great joy for
everybody !
After worshipping the child,
the shepherds returned to
their usual routine. However,
they would never be the same
again! Even though their work
and social standing were
unchanged , they had a
message to share and let Jesus
show.
Although we don’t normally
see angels , we have the same
good news to share, When
Christmas is over and we’re
back to our own normal
routines, how will we let Jesus
show in our lives?
Rev Paul Hardingham ( Parish
Pump).
Memories of a Wartime
Christmas Clearing out a drawer the other day
( as one does from
time to time) I
came across this
little badge which
had once belonged
to my father. He
had during the war
been accustomed
to take services on
a military base for
Presbyterian
servicemen, who
were always in the
minority –
although the Church of Scotland had
“ Huts” where they could relax
among their “ain folk”.
To explain further, in 1944, we lived
in the parish of Sandwick in Orkney,
within a mile of the famous Neolithic
village called Skara Brae. My father
was minister in Sandwick, which was
at the time dominated by two
airfields, the RAF at Skaebrae and
the Fleet Air Arm At Twatt. They
were there to provide cover for the
Home Fleet based in Scapa Flow. As
a family we were quite accustomed
to meeting servicemen and knew
how homesick many of them were.
Although leave was granted at
Christmas it was nearly impossible
for people to get to the south of
England, for example, and be back in
time to resume duties.
As a result many, maybe even the
majority, opted to remain where they
were. This was great for us as
children as the Fleet Air Arm base
transferred their energies into putting
on an amazing Pantomime, “Jack
and the Beanstalk.” and inviting all
the children from the three local
schools to attend. None of us had
ever seen a pantomime. Like me I
would guess that most had not even
heard the word!
Anyway, on the great day military
trucks rolled up to the school and off
we went. Arriving at the hanger used
as a temporary theatre, the first
surprise was the electric lighting
which was completely new to us. The
second surprise was the amazing
costumes, even men dressed up as
women in some cases. The show
10
every Christmas.
Visiting Orkney in 2013 I made a point
of going to see what remains of the
Fleet Air Arm base. Almost
nothing, except the concrete base of
the old Nissen huts. But the walls of
the hanger survive, being used as a
shelter by a local farmer for his cattle.
If I closed my eyes, I could almost feel
myself back in that magical day. I
wonder if today’s children would be
satisfied with the amateurish panto we
saw, or with a few sweets and ice
cream? We had even hoped to taste a
banana, which none of us had ever
seen, but there was to be
disappointment that day.
Somehow I don’t think today’s
children would stand for it, but back
then we talked about the panto for
weeks afterwards !
itself had us
quite
enraptured,
cheering,
booing and
clapping
when
appropriate. I
will never
forget it ! The
cast gave
their all, but equally so did the
helpers who handed out ice cream
( another novelty) and sweets. ( I
have since learned that the
servicemen and women had donated
the ‘coupons’ for weeks beforehand
to provide us with the treat.)
At the end, as we boarded the trucks
to take us home every one of us
received a small present from Santa.
It was a great day. I remember it
11
WAY IN ……to 1 Corinthians
“Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians packs a punch ! There’s a serious energy
and purpose. Along with 2 Corinthians , it provides us with the best account of
Paul’s dealings with any church. Of course we only have his contribution and so
we have to try to guess what’s being said at the other end. It’s urgent and
important.
His relationship with this energetic, vital , wayward and predominantly Gentile
church in the port of Corinth was troubled. They were too influenced by the
lives they had led in the past and the opinions they held at that time. They were
susceptible to and fascinated by false teaching…….
…. For example, they appear to have misunderstood what Paul said concerning
the end of the world. Their confusion, mixed with Gnostic influences , probably
accounts for Paul’s need to explain the real meaning of the Resurrection in
chapter 15. Sometimes our Bibles put sentences in inverted comments as if Paul
is quoting them. Sometimes you may need to supply one or two yourself.
There never was a perfect church. Especially not in Corinth. And because we are
not so different, from Paul’s words then we learn how to wrestle with God’s
truth and apply it in the real circumstances of our time.
So cast off the anchor and sail out of port. Enjoy the bumpy, thrilling ride. And
praise God for rhe exhilaration.” Robert Willoughby

Used Stamps
Lexa Boyle writes… “ Last week I took a large bundle of stamps to
the Presbytery offices in Bath Street. They were gratefully received.
The proceeds from the sale of the stamps go to fund the purchase of
books for a theological college used by students from South Sudan.
Please continue to put your used stamps in the box provided – you
will find it at the end of the counter in the Welcome Hall.”
A teddy bear is working on a building site. He goes for a tea break
and when he returns he notices his pick has been stolen.
The bear is angry and reports the theft to the foreman.
The foreman grins at the bear and says "Oh, I forgot to tell you,
today's the day the teddy bears have their picks nicked.”
Local Police hunting the 'knitting needle nutter, who has stabbed
six people in the village in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker

Pastoral Team
An invitation to anyone who has a health concern causing them
anxiety. If you feel it would help, feel free to approach our
minister, Elijah, or Pastoral Team leader, Jo Gibb, to let them
know who you would wish to be contacted should you become
unwell at church.
In the last eight years I've cried grieving the loss of family members. I've
celebrated weddings and milestone birthdays. And I've become a mum. I'm so
thankful for the fullness of my life. Then I think of Alim. Alim is a Christian
from Xinjiang Province in China. He was arrested in 2008, and eight years ago
he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
His crime? Well, UN experts have ruled that he is being detained ‘solely
because of his faith’. For eight years, every word he’s spoken with his wife has
been watched over by prison guards. How many birthdays, weddings and
family gatherings have passed during this time? That’s when the reality of just
how much he’s missed hits me.
‘So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.’ Joel
2:25 (NKJV) I believe that God can fulfil this beautiful promise in Alim’s life
– to restore to him everything he’s lost. Please join me in praying this verse
over Alim and his family.
Emma Howlett, Communications Team, Christian Solidarity Worldwide
Please pray: • For God to give Alim strength and faith to endure his sentence
• That God would move the hearts of the authorities so that Alim can have
more regular visits from his wife and children
• That God would move powerfully to restore the lost years to Alim and
his family .

Goodness and Mercy
Sheep dogs are very much a part of Highland life. During
lambing season they will often finish the day exhausted, but not
a single sheep will have been lost. A poetic Highland preacher
once elaborated on this fact. “ The Lord is my shepherd. Aye
and more than that he has two collie dogs, named Goodness
and Mercy. With the shepherd going before, and them behind,
even poor sinners like you and me can hope to win home at the
last.” (Very Rev Dr James Simpson : from his book” At Our
age”)

THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEAMS FOR YOUR DILIGENT WORK THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ( AW)
Patricia and Lindsay would like to thank all friends in the congregation for cards,
presents and good wishes on their recent marriage. It’s been three weeks now and
they said it wouldn’t last! The groom has almost recovered and is starting to
realise what he might have let himself in for. The bride, who is secretary of the
local SNP, has been assured by the First Minister that marrying outside the party
will be no impediment to any future advancement for her as long as the groom
behaves. So much for her chances.
Many thanks again for all your kindness and thoughtfulness.

You named my grandchild WHAT ?!
When Mary gave birth in that Bethlehem stable the one thing she and Jo-
seph didn’t have to worry about was the name of the new baby – the Angel
had already told them. But for the rest of us, choosing a name for a baby is
so difficult, and even when the parents finally agree, what about the
grandparents ?
A recent survey found that a fifth of grandparents simply do not like the
name chosen for their grandchild . The most common complaint ? The
name is too odd, is ‘made up’ or wildly unconventional. Other complaints
include the suggestion that the child will be embarrassed by their name,
( Think of David Bowie’s son, who is called Zowie! Ed.) They complain
that it is not a family name, or that it is very hard to pronounce, or that it
plain ridiculous, or that the parents are indulging themselves with no
thought for the child.
It seems that when told the baby’s name 10% of grandparents respond with
an incredulous, “WHAT!?” and many of them burst out laughing. So what
do they do? Some choose to ignore the name completely or make up a
shorter version which they can pronounce easily. Others argue with the
parents, usually to no avail.
In Scotland until the 1970s, almost all children were named for parents,
grandparents or other close relatives. That way, family names were passed
on generation after generation. There are those of us who still feel with
nostalgia that this was not a bad custom – although we would probably not
be too keen on joining our American cousins in giving babies names like:
“George Hamilton the Fourth” or” James Stewart the Third !”
