EditorialIt is hard to believe that we have reached

the "bumper" Summer edion of the

magazine already for this year!!

Since we last wrote, St. Annes has

inducted Jamie Griggs as our new

Minister. We have said thank you and

good bye to Bill Irving and his trumpet,

although he promised to return with it

highly polished from the Silvo he received

as a parng gi!! Also, thank you to Anne

Logan for being our Interim Moderator

and minister during Bill's illness, luckily for

St. Annes she too has promised to return.

We have had a very successful, if slightly

damp, church fair and we are currently

enjoying a visit by Bishop Chomba and

Mrs Muchelemba from St Andrew's

church in Lusaka. Items on all of these

events are included in this magazine plus

many more stories from the various

church groups who have been hard at

work as ever.

So, have a wonderful Summer and we will

see you for the next excing instalment in

September!

Best Wishes,Eds

Ministers LetterRev. Jamie Griggs BDHons, MTh, ALCM

Dear Friends

Have you ever watched a duck swimming across a pond? So stately and calm on the surface, whileunderneath the lile feet are paddling for all they are worth!

It is a privilege to be wring this, my rst leer as the newly inducted Minister of Corstorphine St Annes:

thank you for the welcome you have extended to me, and to all who contributed to the joy (and smooth -

running!) of the evening of the 14th

May who worked so hard and gave of their me and talents. As I sat in

the beauful sanctuary of our church that evening, with the sun (sll, it seems, a somewhat rare visitor) not

quite blinding me, I found myself gazing at the words carved into the walls the words that make the

stones speak. How ng to be singing about new beginnings surrounded by reminders of our past, with

words which speak of Gods love.

The second hymn we sang, This is a day, reminds us that a me of new beginnings is a me for some

reecon: we must remember how we have been brought to this moment; we must remember the people

who have inuenced us, the places which have been special, the words which have a comfortable

familiarity. But it also reminds us that we have to prepare to move on ...with the Spirits daring, step from

the past...and seek new paths.

In the two weeks I have been with you, much has happened, and connues to happen; we have said

farewell to loyal members and we have forged new friendships; we have connued to face the challenges

which arise from caring for property, and connued to seek to be good stewards of what has been entrusted

to us. Many have been involved in the visit of our new friends from St Andrews Church in Lusaka, and we

have enjoyed learning much about their community, and how they are responding to the challenge of being

a witnessing community in the modern world.

Some of the words on the walls tell us what God is (love), while others tell us what we must do (love God).

We need to remember that for our faith to be real and live, we must connue to work together, as acongregaon and parish; to worship together, to sing and laugh and listen; to go out into the world and tell

of the hope and joy which is Gods gi to all He has created. Perhaps this anonymous poem oers some

helpful advice as we prepare to do this:

Take me to think It is the source of all power

Take me to read It is the foundaon of all wisdom

Take me to play- It is the source of perpetual youth

Take me to be quiet- It is the opportunity to seek God

Take me to be aware - It is the opportunity to help others

Take me to love and be loved- It is Gods greatest gi

Take me to laugh - It is the music of the soul

Take me to be friendly- It is the road to happiness

Take me to dream - It is what the future is made of

Take me to pray- It is the greatest power on earth

Take me to give - It is too short a day to be selsh

Take me to work- It is the price of success

May God bless you all,Jamie.

Over the summer please give some consideraon to

future contribuons for the magazine. We would like

to think about including leers, holiday postcards,gardening ps, recipes, book reviews and anything

else our readers might enjoy. Why not send us a

short arcle (say 150 - 200 words) for the September

issue? Eds

The next magazine will be out on:

Sunday 1st

September

and the deadline for arcles will be:

Sunday 18th

August

Induction CeremonyVery few members will have a clear memory of the last me a minister was inducted so it was with a

degree of curiosity that we arrived on 14th

May to see the great and good of Edinburghs clergy (plus a

few representaves of Edinburgh Presbytery) meet to hold an inducon service. Down the aisle they

processed in white robes, purple robes, the odd surplice but the majority were in solid black with the

occasional ash of a coloured stole. So many that they lled both the seats in the sanctuary and allthree rows of the choir stalls on both sides.

The service itself was presided over by Rev Dr George Whyte who holds a high posion within the

Presbytery (Presbytery Clerk) and who acted with gravitas throughout the service. The hymns were

plenful, leaning heavily on those grand hymns of the 19th

century. It was as if CH4 had never been

conceived. The choir, temporarily removed to the piano area, emerged to sing a Bach motet

expressing the loud and harmonious joy of the Easter story. The sermon was delivered by a

Dickensian-looking minister from Morningside, the Rev Dr Derek Browning. His sermon was wiy and

droll and delivered in a deadpan style with many of those lile uncomfortable truths that

congregaons would prefer not to hear. Now that we had found a minister and survived as a

congregaon in the interim, it remained our duty to support both the minister and his ministry. Thatassuredly did not mean that we could now relax and leave it all to Jamie.

Then the inducon part of the service took place and we could more easily spot the centre of

aenon. The Moderator of the Presbytery, Rev Ian Gilmour, took Jamie through a series of

promises. To each queson the reply was I do with an I will slipped in at one point to make sure

he was paying aenon. Curiously one of the quesons included the obligaon that he will come to

work cheerfully. If only banks and supermarkets had the same obligaon what a more pleasant

world we would have!

Symbolic gis were delivered: a bible, water and bread and with that the service was over. The guests

processed back down the aisle though some of their black robes were now marked with the white

residue that comes from leaning back on the seats in the sanctuary. The congregaon and guests

repaired to the hall for substanal refreshments and from thence back to the church for a more

informal celebraon. MCd by Phil Yelland, our joint session clerk, the entertainment started by a

presentaon to Bill Irving delivered by Jim Gay at his dry, wiy best. While the choir reprised a Sinatra

number and the more numerous Guild Choir remembered Oliver, there were a couple of speeches

from old and now new colleagues of our minister. They also expressed some candour regarding the

merits or otherwise of the Presbytery. Finally there was a revelaon from David Stewart with some

playing of organ pieces denitely not intended for a sober Sunday service. It was a revelaon for the

Guild choir who were posioned in the side aisle and were entranced by seeing the movement of

Davids feet over the oor pedals.

Finally we heard from our new minister. A few words of thanks: a parcularly apt Gaelic blessing: the

party was over: the (our) ministry had begun.

Princes Street Gardens - 19th

May 2013

There were so many things going on in the gardens that it would be impossible to tell all of it so Iwill just tell you what we did on the day.Four of us went straight from church (3 dierent churches). We started o at 1pm at the Ross

Bandstand where the Guild got us o to an energec and inspiring start. We were invited to think

again about what the Guild is about. It was a great me of worship, accompanied by the Heart& Soul

Swing Band, with four speakers telling us about the Guild at a local, a naonal and a world level.

Aer a short me wandering among the tents of the various

congregaons and exhibitors we made our way to the CosyCaf thinking we would buy ourselves a hot chocolate, to be

told to put away our purses as the hot chocolate was free. In

the caf there was a youth challenge going on where teenagers

were performing songs they had wrien themselves. Their

brief had been to write a song about a me in their walk with

God. These teenagers words of faith were surprising and

really made us think.

We spoke with a lady from Ayr who aended a Community church which kept having to move venue

as it was growing so fast. At present they have around 300 people a week, mostly young and middle

aged, with 60 in Sunday School and 35 in the youth group. So despite the gloomy news we oen hearabout dwindling congregaons , the church is very much alive in some places.

Then o we went into St Cuthberts church, climbed up the stairs into the belfry where we saw and

heard the bell ringers and had a chat about ringing with the man in charge,. Aer this we went into

the church to listen to the Heart & Soul Swing band, brought together by the Rev Robin Hill. The band

sang such songs as Praise God in the Streets, The Simon Peter Blues and a swing version of Jesus

loves me. As their guests they had the Voice of Hope Choir, an African choir from Glasgow, who sang

with no instruments other than their voices and maracas.

Then back to the Ross Bandstand for the closing worship.

Was it 5 oclock already? We had not seen Fischy Music,

Karen Matheson the nest Gaelic singer alive today, IonaBand, the Kids tent, 5-aside football, the Labyrinth, the

interview with the new Moderator, Rt Rev E Lorna Hood, and

lots of other things.

The themes of the closing service were Pentecost, as this was

Pentecost Sunday and the 1450th

anniversary of St Columba

landing on Iona. The hymn singing was resounding, the

prayers were inspiring and we were sent on our way with the thought that if we are concerned about

the church, the answer is in our hands. We were asked to be blessed as you take the message of

Gods love to your parishes

Then it was over. A great showcase for the Church of Scotland, and a wonderful witness to Jesus in

the centre of our beauful city.

Grand Centenary FairIt might have been a bit greyer outside than planned but St Annes buildings were buzzing withcolour and acvity. The kitchen had been taken over by the Guides who cooked an incrediblenumber of hot dogs and burgers which were consumed with relish! Teas and coees served in the

sanctuary with a generous plateful of delicious (I tried quite a bit of it!!-

for the magazine of course)homebaking also went well, and musical entertainment while folk sat with their refreshments was

much appreciated.

The stall holders worked hard, with much wheeling and dealing in evidence. I think rst prize for

clearing their tables must go to the homebaking stall. Those brave enough to venture outside were

entertained by a variety of games including a coconut shy and duck pond!!

Thanks and Congratulaons to everyone who gave their me and eort, thanks to Mark for all the

organisaon and thanks to everyone who came along and made the St Annes Church Fair for our

centenary year such a success.

Susan NimmoA huge vote of thanks to all who helped before,

during and aer the Fair this year. While the

weather and some local compeon reduced

numbers this year we sll managed to raise over

2,400 on the day. It was tremendous to see

everyone enjoying the church and the stalls. I know

everyone likes to see a breakdown of the stalls, so in

no parcular order here it is.

St Anne's Guild Summer OutingImpressive scones at Scone Palace

This year, we were blessed with the weather for our annual summer oung on Tuesday 21st

May to

Scone Palace. The party comprised our two visitors from Lusaka, Mrs Josephine Muchelemba and

Bishop Rodwell Chomba, our new minister and a good many Guild members and friends.

We were allowed to wander around the house and grounds at our leisure. While coee and

(impressive) scones were a priority for some, others preferred to amble through the well presented

rooms of the palace with cabinets of Meissen and Sevres porcelain, portraits of the Earl of Manseld's

family, past and present and the servants' kitchen with its endless rows of copper pans.

In the grounds it was interesng to see a replica of the Stone of Desny and the newly restored ancient

archway, which had been damaged by an over enthusiasc delivery driver. The magnicent beech

maze is made from copper and ordinary beech hedging and this can be observed from above by a

wooden bridge where direcons can be given to those lost within. The highland cale ignored all the

visitors and the strung peacocks were not much beer.

The high tea on the way home at the Staon Hotel, Perth was much appreciated and a big thank you to

Lyn Chalmers for organising such a wonderful day.

St Annes FAN Club

The FAN Club held its AGM on 19th April 2013. During the 2012/2013 session several changes inoce bearers have taken place with the role of treasurer being passed on to Marjory Whigham byMary Paerson at the end of the church nancial year on 31

stDecember 2012. At the AGM David

Ditcheld stood down as Transport Contact and Bill Stevens has agreed to ll the vacancy, and a change

of Chairman will be eecve from the beginning of the 2013/2014 session when Ann Sco takes over

from Dr Doyle. Dr Doyle has agreed to remain as Vice Chairman unl someone can be found to take onthe post.

All of those standing down have been involved in their respecve roles with the FAN Club since it

started in 2010 and the members of the Club expressed their appreciaon for the work they have all

done in that me. A special word of thanks goes to Dr Doyle who worked so hard negoang with

minister and session, seng up the programme, contacng folks who might be interested in coming

along and ensuring that advance adversing was in place before October 2010. The Club connues to

ourish with membership (including many folk from other churches) increased to 65 during the last

session.

The Club is in the fortunate posion of being able to hand over a donaon to the church and contribute

to the cost of an upgrade of the sound system for the hall.

Following the business part of the AGM the members thoroughly enjoyed a mixture of classical and

modern musical pieces. These were provided by Ewan Zuckert and Charlie Shepherd-Vine as clarinet

duets and piano and clarinet duets.

On Friday 24th May the FAN Club held an extra meeng and what an excing meeng it was listening to

the guest speaker who was Mrs Josephine Muchelemba, one of the visitors from Zambia.

This small but forceful, dynamic and impassioned lady spoke about her Faith, her Church, and her

country explaining the challenges that face the church in terms of Social Care, Health Care and

Educaon as the state do not make provision in these areas.

St Andrews is situated in the centre of the City of Lusaka, but has responsibility for a wide area

surrounding the city. The organisaon set up within the church to deal with visitaon and care is very

impressive with most members involved as part of a Team. A great deal of training is given to ensure

that these folk are equipped for the roles that they have undertaken.

As Mrs Muchelemba spoke, it became clear that faith and church play a key role in the lives of the great

majority of Africans and that these are subjects of daily conversaon amongst people. There are many

religious broadcasts on radio and television, and churches adverse on public transport. The African

people declare their Faith!

Mrs Muchelemba also spoke a lile about her endeavours to put right the injusces suered by women

in her country telling the audience that this was a long, slow bale against long held ideas about the

role of women. Her latest manuscript soon to be published in book form deals with this issue.

Sadly me limitaons did not allow for the many other quesons but these will hopefully be addressed

with Mrs Muchelemba and Bishop Chomba during the rest of their visit.

The next session of the Club starts earlier this year on 13th

September 2013. The syllabus will be

available at the back of the church or delivered nearer that start date.

Frances Gould / Ann ScottPew Cushions

Aer the death of her husband, Douglas, Eileen Nicoll was keen to make a gi to St Anne's in hismemory and decided that pew cushions would be appropriate. When she told me of this I oered

to join with her and between us we have covered the rst eleven rows of the church. I, and my family,

have been associated with St Annes for over y years and I know my husband, Graham, and my

mother would have approved.

A

s we reach the end of another session I

would like to thank the commited group ofvolunteers who connue to allow the creche to

do a Sunday 3 or 4 mes a year and we are

always happy to have addional people to add to

Please contact me if you would like to discuss this

further.

Alison Yelland([email protected])Sunday School

It is with much regret that, at the end of theterm, the Sunday School will say goodbye toMargaret Pye, who has led the primary

department for the last 12 years. She reres

from her job in the summer and is soon to savour

the joys of being a grandmother, so we wish hermuch happiness in the future and thank her for all

the love, loyalty, support and enthusiasm she has

brought to both sta and children during her me

with us.

This of course means that we will need someone

to replace Margaret when we start again in

September. If you feel you would like to be that

person, or you know someone you think could be

persuaded, please let me know and I will be more

than happy to have a chat about it.

Our grateful thanks go too, to Fiona Yelland who

stepped into the breach when Keith Rennie le

and has enabled the Senior Sunday School to run

so successfully this past year, making it a place

where all want to be and where former members

can catch up on their trips back home.

Fiona moves on to university next term, so we

wish her every happiness in her new life and hope

that someone will want to carry on her good work

with the young people in St Annes. I await the

rush.

WINDOWS ON HIS WORLDA monthly look at world issuesby the World Issues Team ofSt Annes Parish Church,

Corstorphine.

June 2013Peace be with you!If peace is the opposite of war then presumably everyone, would say they would want it. But surelypeace is more than that. What can we learn about peace from the Bible?The most striking thing is that the word peace is never used in the New Testament except when

associated with Jesus whereas in the Old Testament peace implies welfare and is an external thing.

Asleep in the boat during a fearful storm on the Sea of Galilee Jesus is wakened by his friends and

calms the wind and waves - Peace be sll!. Unexpectedly, miraculously appearing to them in the

Upper Room locked because they were terried, Jesus appears and says Peace be with you. The

threat was sll there, their future sll unsure but they experienced peace.

On the evening of His Resurrecon, catching up with two grieving men on the road to Emmaus, and

later having supper with them Jesus, as yet unrecognised by them gave them a deep sense of peace.

Bewildered, frightened, unsure of what might lie ahead they nevertheless felt peace because they

were with Him.

Jesus sends his disciples out as missionaries with the instrucon that when they enter or leave a housethey pray for its peace. Knowing what they will encounter he says Peace I leave with you, my peace

I give unto you.

All so senmentality? Bears no relaon to real life in this world of ours! Not true the Peace which

only Jesus can give is one that many have experienced and described. Many years ago relaves of 500

people who had died in a hospice were asked how their loved ones spoke of the atmosphere there and

how they too, now grieving, would describe the atmosphere there. More than 90% spoke of Peace.

The same peace has been described by soldiers before a bale. Who would expect that to be the rst

word that comes to mind in such circumstances?

This inner, personal peace is very dierent from the peace described in the Old Testament. Lest theimpression given in the New Testament is that all we need to do is accept Him as our Saviour and aer

that we live on Cloud 9 let us recall some of the most challenging words Jesus ever uered.

Preparing his followers for opposion, suering, cynicism, ostracism, divided families, imprisonment

and even death Jesus asks Do you think I have come to give peace on the earth? No, I tell you, rather

division.. Two thousand years of history have proved Him right.

Jesus leaves us in no doubt that our innerpeace (as disnct from peace the opposite of war) can only

come and grow as a result of our personal relaonship with Him. Like salvaon itself it cannot be

bought with credit points. Nor is there any hint that a Chrisan life will be an easy, trouble-free one.

On the contrary it may be tougher than any of us imagined but we shall never know a day without His

Presence, and with that His Peace. Dicult to understand? No wonder Paul described it as The peace

of God that passes all understanding.


12/1412

Update-June 2013

The ight ckets have been sent, insurance documents issued, the programme is complete and allhosts have been given numerous sheets of informaon and instrucons, and yet by the me this isbeing read Josephine Muchelemba and Bishop Rodwell Chomba will be leaving Scotland.

I hope that all of those who have taken the opportunity to experience sharing in this visit from ourZambian friends have enjoyed the opportunity that the visit has oered, have learned a great deal

about the Chrisan church in Africa, compared problems and joys and are enthralled by the prospect

of a formalised Twinning with St Andrews, Lusaka.

Last month I asked for any photographs that have been taken during the visit. Please do let me have

any that you have as the World Issues Team would like to create a photographic record of the visit

places visited and friendships made. In the next Magazine (September) there will be a full report of

the visit and the outcome.

Junior SectionThe "Lile Stars" of Beginners Sunday School are

enjoying the theme of people who help us.

We had a visit from Police Ocer Gordon Du (a

former member of beginners). Everyone enjoyed

trying on the uniform and luckily Gordon had thekeys to the handcus.

A very busy road was set up in the Guild Room. A

trike pedalled at speed by our boys and girls was

very dangerous. Luckily when the road was clear

Gordon taught us to cross safely. We all enjoyed the

morning.

Now we are looking forward to the summer and the

Picnic. Please come and join us and the fun on a

Sunday morning.

Have a happy and safe summer.
