Take Time to Pray

Lord to whom can we go, for you have the words of eternal life. You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. You know everything and you know that we love you. Lord, save us, for you are the Holy One, the Son of God. Amen. Based on Confessions of Peter the Apostle (first century)

O God, whose beauty is beyond our imagining, and whose power we cannot comprehend: show us your glory as far as we can grasp it, and shield us from knowing more than we can bear until we may look upon you without fear, through Jesus Christ, Amen. (Janet Morley) SOURCE: Christian Aid

Does prayer always work?

The trouble with praying in public is it can make us feel very vulnerable. Mark tells us how, on one occasion, the disciples felt very vulnerable indeed. A man had brought his trou-bled son to them while Jesus was away up a mountain, but when they had prayed for him to be healed, nothing had happened. Jesus re-turned to find them feeling rather foolish and surrounded by a scornful and angry crowd. Fortunately, he was able to step in and save the day.

Mark tells us that, later on, they asked Jesus why the boy hadn’t been healed. His reply is a bit confusing. “This can happen only by prayer”, he said (Mark 9.28-29). What did he mean? Had they not done just that and nothing had happened?

The clue to what Jesus meant is in the footnote at the bottom of the page, where we are told that some manuscripts had Jesus words as, “This can happen only by prayer and fasting.” In other words, it wasn’t their public praying that was the problem, it was the fact that it had not sprung from a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. They hadn’t been taking their own prayer life seriously enough. They hadn’t been getting the basics right.

Jesus took his own prayer life very seriously indeed. Throughout Lent we

bear in mind the 40 days Jesus spent praying and fasting in the wil-derness before he was even ready to

begin his ministry. This was time spent tuning into his Father’s will, and open-ing up his life to his Holy Spirit’s power. Throughout his ministry we are told how he began every day alone in prayer. Before he died he spent the whole night in prayer, getting himself ready for the ordeal that lay ahead.

How seriously do we take our own prayer life? As you can see from the diary of events, during Lent there will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet together in public prayer. Every Tuesday the McDonald Room has been set aside as a place of prayer at vari-ous times throughout the day.

The whole week before Palm Sunday has been set aside by all the BIG Idea churches as a time of 24/7 prayer, (tying in with the city wide prayer initiative organised by Trypray-ing). We will begin each weekday with an early morning prayer time at the Blythswood shop, and then each church building will be open in turn. Liberton Kirk will then be open for prayer from 8.30am on the Friday, and will be open for prayer until 8am the following morning.

But if this is the only time we plan to spend in prayer, all our efforts may well come to nothing. Public prayer is important, but only if we get the basics right. We also need to take our own private prayer life seriously. The more time we spend in private prayer, the more God will be able to use us. The more time we spend praying together, the more it demonstrates that we are ready for his Spirit to


Over the past three years, Liberton Kirk's partnership with Young Life has seen a massive growth in the number of high school pupils that we have weekly contact with, in schools, and at clubs like Delta on Friday evenings. Summer events like Stage’n’Slam and Powys have reached more than 120 teens from Edinburgh, and our friends at Gorebridge Parish Church.

God is at work in many young hearts, and Alex Richards and I have had to increase the care and attention we give to these teens, most of whom come from families with no previous church connections. Many are already carrying the knocks that life sadly throws our way.

Our existing volunteer leaders have reached out in love and support in a wonderful way. They have committed extra hours to clubs and to communicat-ing with teens at odd times of the day and night. They have added Stage’n’Slam and Powys to their existing Summer Buzz commitments, and have thrown themselves into all aspects of music, fun, adventure, mess, laughter and the Gospel. I am delighted by them!

We are now encouraged by a group of committed older teens who are tak-ing ownership of their clubs and are supporting and caring for their peers in a mature and spiritually dynamic way. I have waited for years to see such passion-ate faith expressed in our senior teens, in terms of their care and commitment to reaching others their age for Christ. Please love them and encourage them at every point you can.

For these reasons, my hours have been more and more stretched towards the upper end of my remit, caring for all our children and young people aged between 3 and 18. Alex's role has grown and developed, too, as has his skill. Three years of training are reaping much fruit.

But we are straining to care properly for our primary-aged children. We do not have the hours that we would like to invest into these beautiful souls. So, with the Kirk Session's permission, I have been fund raising towards a part time post with Young Life, which I will accept in partnership with the Kirk. I will release 12 hours a week of my salary so that the church can reinvest this money into a part time Children's Worker, a specialist with the time and resources to look after our children, and their leaders well.

We will be interviewing candidates on March 9th and we are looking to have

of God’s living presence in your life as you journey through Lent towards Easter.

Much love,

move among us. Does prayer always work? It de-

pends how seriously you are willing to take it. My prayer is that you come to know more and more of the joy


the suitable person in post by early Summer. I am planning a Commissioning Service for my Young Life work at the Kirk on Saturday April 13th, and would love to share this special moment with you!

I'm excited by this! God has provided money to get this rolling. We will see increased local youth work at no extra cost to the church. We will see new children's ideas in our clubs with this fresh input and we'll see a deepened relationship with Young Life. I pray we will see more young people meeting Christ for themselves; seeing hearts healed and restored by His love in them and through us.

Watch out for more news soon about the Prayer Space in Gracemount High School. One pupil asked if we'd tried to create heaven there, because that's what it looked like to him! Around 200 pupils joined us over the week, for an hour at a time. They engaged in hundreds of prayers of thanks, forgiveness and remembrance. Thanks to Bradley and Erin for their courageous response to deep and meaningful questions from enquiring pupils. Thanks!

Princes Street Easter Play - “CrossWords”

Saturday 30th

March at 2pm

In West Princes Street Gardens

After a 2 year absence the Easter Play is back with an entirely new production, inspired by a monologue for Judas, written by an inmate in Angola Prison, Louisiana. Producer/ Director Suzanne Lofthouse felt it would be interesting to look at the character of Jesus through the eyes of other biblical characters.

The Easter Play Trustees initiated a competition among Scottish writers and “ ”, which is a series of monologues (which will surprise and challenge the audience) is the result.

Once again it is an open promenade production set in the West Princes Street Gardens. It is a different production from previous Easter Plays, but the intention is the same as it has always been – to tell the story of Jesus in a rele-vant, dramatic and thought provoking way. It is aimed at an audience many of whom may know little about him. If you have been to previous Easter Plays, come back and witness a new slant on the Easter Story. If you have not been before please come and hear the Easter Story underneath the Castle Rock.

Fresh Start

I cannot believe that it is Springtime already. I don’t know about you, but for some reason at this time of year I really want to give the house a good clean and have a clear out and I warn everybody in the house to make sure that they do not leave anything lying around, as I am going to be giving the house a Spring Clean.

If you have decided to do this also, could you please remember Fresh Start, and that they can make use of any household goods including small electrical items that you no longer require? It would be great too if when you are shopping and see any ‘buy one get one free’ goods if you could donate the free one to Fresh Start. They accept cleaning goods, i.e. bleach, flash, washing up liquid, cloths, washing up bowls, black bags, light bulbs etc.

For those who don’t know who Fresh Start is please go to their website at www.freshstartweb.org.uk. Fresh Start is an organisation that helps individuals and families who have been homeless and works in partnership with churches, local communities and volunteers. Thank you so much.

W o r k i n g t o e n d h o m e l e s s n e s


It’s not me; I didn’t do it. Is it always someone else when the teacher asks ‘who made this mess’, or Mum says ‘who broke this?’ And if we hadn’t done it, would we offer to clean up the mess or pay for what is broken out of our pocket money? Even though it wasn’t our fault and we hadn’t done anything wrong?

The answer is probably ‘no’. Why should we? It wasn’t our fault! It wouldn’t be fair! But then things often aren’t fair. It wasn’t fair that the crowds in Jerusalem that first Easter shouted ‘release Barabbas’, a convicted criminal. They could have shouted ‘release Jesus’ – Jesus hadn’t done anything wrong after all.

Jesus told us ‘No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends’ (St John’s Gospel, chapter 15, verse 13). Jesus gave up his life for us. And others have fol-lowed his pattern, like Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest in a German concentration camp who took the place of another prisoner and was killed instead of him.

On Thursday 14th March, Liberton Kirk will be honoured to host the All New Watoto Children’s Choir for a concert in the Church. This promises to be one of the most exciting and moving performances that has graced our church. The Choir are performing all over the United Kingdom and their “Beautiful Africa” concert in Liberton Kirk will be one of the few performances in Scotland. We are hoping, therefore, to give the Choir and its leaders a truly warm welcome and hope that as many of the congregation and their friends as possible will endeavour to be present. Admission to the concert is free, but we are issuing tickets in order to keep a check that we do not exceed our maximum allowed capacity of 500.

. [ see back page, ED] During the concert there will be a “love offering” from which we hope

to raise significant funds for the Watoto Child Care Ministries. As this is an important event for the world-wide mission outreach of Liberton Kirk we hope you will want to be present.

The story of Watoto started when Marilyn and Gary Skinner moved from Canada to Zambia as missionaries in 1979. The move to Africa had always been on Gary’s heart, but the location and meaning didn’t become clear until four years later.

In 1982, Gary moved his young family to Kampala, the war-torn capital of Uganda, to plant an English-speaking church in the heart of the city. Today, Watoto Church, a cell-based community church, is touching both the city and the nation with the love of Jesus. Over 17,000 people attend one of the 20 weekend services at the 8 district celebration points across the city.

Watoto Child Care Ministries was birthed out of this local church and today over 2000 children are cared for. Watoto is an holistic programme that was initi-ated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned children and vul-nerable women in Uganda, whose lives have been ravaged by war and disease.

The Watoto model involves physical care, medical intervention, including HIV/AIDS treatment, education, formal and technical, trauma counselling and spiri-tual discipleship. It exists to raise a generation of African leaders, by nursing ex-cellence in academic and practical skills, integrity in conduct and moral values, so that each one becomes a responsible Christian and a productive citizen in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation. In this, it aims to replicate the model in other countries across the Continent so as to fast-track the rescue of orphaned children and vulnerable women in Africa.

Liberton Kirk World Mission Team


This important day in church life begins for us outside Liberton Kirk at 10 o’clock, when we set off on a , meeting up with Liberton Northfield and St. Gregory’s at Liberton Northfield Church and then walking down to Morrisons in Gilmerton Road. On the walk we stop at various points on the way where people gather (schools, residential homes etc.) to pray for our commu-nity. In the car park at Morrisons at 11 o’clock we hold an open-air service. We are joined at that time by other Christians who have walked from Moredun (Tron Kirk, St. Barnabas’ and St. John Vianney’s), from Gilmerton (Tron Kirk at the Hub), and from Gracemount (KLM and St. Catherine’s), and by others not able to do the walk but wanting to be part of the service. After the service Morrisons café is usually quite popular, especially if it is cold outside! The second joint event is at 3 o’clock that afternoon at Gracemount High School, when all the SEECAT churches meet again for a very special service, remembering just what the cross means for us all. There are tea and hot cross buns afterwards, which gives us a chance to chat with people from the other churches we don’t see very often. If you are unable to be at either of these events, there will be a time of worship, remembrance and reflection at 7.30pm in Liberton Kirk.

In the period leading up to Good Friday we join with our friends in other local churches for two major events. The first joint event is a Passover Meal on Monday 25th March, 7pm at Liberton Kirk Centre, when we will remember that Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples, eating the traditional Passover meal with them, and then surprising them by washing their feet - Jesus the Servant King. This is the third year SEE-CAT have joined together for this meal, but the first time Liberton Kirk has hosted it. Tickets are essential for this event, as numbers are limited, and they will be available during March at £5 each.

Then there’s a Stations of the Cross Service at St. John Vianney’s Church, Fernieside Gardens, at 7.30pm on Wednesday 27th` March. This version of what is regarded as a traditional Roman Catholic Service uses readers from all the churches including the Church of Scotland and Scottish Episcopal Church. Those

who have attended over the last few years have found it to be a very moving evening, following the journey of Jesus towards the cross and imagining the thoughts and

feelings of people along the way. Ruth Davies


Our first service at 9.30am includes a shared breakfast (Agape) and you are invited to bring a daffodil to decorate the cross. Daffodils are needed again at the 11 o’clock service at which all ages are welcome. There’s no evening wor-ship in the church, but there’s a City-wide Easter Celebration in the Usher Hall “Resurrection 2013!” (free tickets from www.originscotland.org or 208 0095).

For the third year running CTC has been invited to assist Cameron Toll with their Easter egg campaign, and we would like your help. Last year we were de-lighted to distribute 100 eggs to Barnardo's and HomeLink.

which is in partnership with Edinburgh City Mission, together with a local network of voluntary and chari-table agencies, refers clients for assistance, which ensures that help is given to those with genuine needs. Basics Bank does not offer perma-

nent help; but helps people on their way out of crisis; a hand-up, not a hand-out. Help can be provided for up to 6 weeks, after which the need for further assistance will re-assessed. Basics Bank also provides tuition in English as a for-eign language on request. A new Basic Bank has just opened in Newington, this will be the one that we will be helping. The needs no introduc-tion - they work tirelessly within Edinburgh. So we ask you, when you buy one Easter egg please buy another and donate it in the big box outside Sainsbury’s from Monday 11th March until Wednesday 27th March. Many thanks for your continued help and prayers.

Church of Scotland World Mission News

Almost a million people will experience hunger by 2025 although there is actually enough food produced for everyone to eat. In this year when the G8 meets in the UK, the Church of Scotland has joined with more than a hundred UK charities to call on world leaders to tackle the "scandal" of hunger.

campaign is the biggest mobilisation to address poverty since Make Poverty History, and has received the backing of world personalities like Bill Gates and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. 2013 won’t be the end of hunger, but it could be the beginning of the end. The campaign was launched on 23rd January, and churches are urged to get involved. Sign up to the campaign at www.enoughfoodif.org/scotland

. . . . will be on rd – a bit early, but there’s too much going on at the Easter weekend and some people will be away, so 23rd March it is. As usual, it runs from 4pm to 6pm, with activities and crafts in the first

hour; then a lively time of worship, and then tea together to finish. All young families (with children of 0 – P7) are welcome. If

you know families who find Sundays difficult, encourage them to try Messy Church, which is once a month on Saturday afternoon. More information on the website or from me. Ruth Davies, 664 3608. (MessyChurch Logo © BRF2012)

CALLING ALL FAMILIES!

IF


Gilmerton, Part 2 of 3

There was a friendly society connected to the village for over 200 years, which was also a benefit society, to which members paid a small sum annually and heirs received a certain amount on the death of a member or any of his family. The society erected a public hall on the north side of the village about 1850. At one time, many of the inhabitants were employed in the working and carting of coal to Edinburgh. Coal was mined in the lands of Gilmerton as early as 1427, and there is a contract between James 4th Lord Ross of Melville, and his wife Jean Sempill on the one hand, and John Herring in Gilmerton and his colliers on the other, dated 11th November 1573, to work the coal on their land. At the beginning of the 19th century there were many breweries in the village, twelve licensed houses and a candle factory. The village at this time was mainly inhab-ited by colliers, and in 1785 a Rev. John Campbell opened a preaching station for Sunday evening services. A church was erected under the General Assembly’s Church Extension Scheme, and was opened on 20th April 1837. Much of the money needed was raised by Mr Anderson of Moredun and several of the heri-tors of Liberton Kirk. This church was feued by the Liberton Kirk Sessions from Sir David Baird for £2 per year, and a constitution was granted in 1838 by the Assembly. The first minister, the Rev. Walter Fairlie from Whitehaven, was inducted on the 16th August 1838, but resigned to join the Free Church of Scotland at its beginning in May 1843.

A new school and offices under a school board were erected in 1875, and the old school which had been supported by Sir David Baird, Miss Innes at the Drum and David Anderson of Moredun, was turned into a reading room. In 1883 the late misses Anderson of Moredun erected and endowed a school at the north end of the village, chiefly for girls and young children. A little to the west of the village stood the hamlet of Carthall which in 1780 contained 96 inhabi-tants who were principally engaged in carting coal to Edinburgh. To the North West stood, on the side of a burn, another hamlet called Brocken Briggs; however both disappeared in the early part of the 19th century.

The lands of Drum were on the south side of the parish and were owned by Sir John Herring before 1320. Shortly before his death, he disponed half of the lands of Gilmerton to his nephew Patrick Herring, but soon after, his great grandson Sir Gilbert Herring was forced to sell the estate to William Ramsey in order to pay his debts. Around Gilmerton Grange in February 1302, an English army of 10,000 men under Sir Robert Neville camped before the battle of Ross-lyn. This battle on the 24th February resulted in a complete rout of the English by the Scottish army under the command of John Comyn and Simon Fraser.

Sir Walter Somerville married Giles, only surviving daughter and heiress of Sir John Herring in 1375, and duly inherited the Drum estate. Their son Sir James Somerville inherited the estate, but was killed at the battle of Durham in 1346, leaving no heir. He was succeeded by his brother Sir Thomas Somerville who had three sons and two daughters. To the eldest, Thomas, he gave the estates of


Drum, Gilmerton and Goodtrees, however he died without issue, and was succeeded by his brother Sir William de Somerville. He had two sons Thomas and William, and Thomas succeeded to the estates, and became the first Lord Somerville.

About 1427 both coal and limestone had been found in the lands of Gilmer-ton, which made him a very rich man. He married Janet Stewart daughter of Alexander Stewart, Lord Darnley, and had two sons, William and Thomas, and three daughters, Mary, Giles and Margaret. He died in 1444 and was succeeded by son Sir William who had two sons and two daughters, his eldest son John succeeded his father in 1451. John married twice and died in 1477, being succeeded by his son William, who married Margaret, daughter of Lord Montgomery, and had two sons, John and Hugh. John succeeded his father in 1488, and was killed at Flodden in 1513.

Stewards needed for The General Assembly

18th

to 24th

May 2013

Stewards play a significantly important role to ensure that many of the backup services, in support of the General Assembly, operate in a highly efficient, welcoming and friendly fashion. Throughout the week of the General Assembly some 300 stewards help to cover over 1,000 different duties. Each “shift” generally lasts for about two hours and it is up to each steward as to how often they wish to help – some only have time to help on one occasion, whereas others travel considerable distances to help as often as they can.

If you think you might like to help us, then please get in touch for more infor-mation. Your help would be very greatly appreciated. Simon Bolam 2251849 or 07850 790051 or email to [email protected]
