| A
Message from the Minister |
The Manse, Grey Gables, Ayton
- July 2011
At the leavers assembly in Ayton Primary
School, the children closed the assembly by
sinning te old song 'Summer Holiday' , as sung
by Cliff Richard and the Shadows (which was
before my time, you understand!) It is a
time of year when many of us are thinking
about holidays, though I realise it is not the
case for everyone.
In the church
we are planning for our Holiday Club from the
27th to the 29th July. The event is a hive of
activity this year on the theme 'Desert
Detectives'. It is part of the Church's
attempt to reach out to the community, seeking
to tell the Gospel message to people, in this
case children, in a way that is meaningful to
them.

In August, on
the 7th to be precise, another event is taking
place. This year we are holdin our annual fete
in Foulden Village Hall. Funds raised will go
to Help for Heroes, the charity which aids
victims of the second Iraqi war and the one
that is still going on in Afghanistan. In this
way the church is identifying with those men
and women who suffer so much because of these
conflicts. It is right that we support the
charity even if we may have questions over our
involvement in those situations.
It may be summer
and time for holidays but that doesn't mean
that everything comes to a halt. That
certainly applies to the Church in our linked
Parishes. The worship, the service is all the
year round, just as we believe the love of God
in Christ is for every season. God Bless you
all!
