Interim Moderator's Message- October 2011.
|
|
Summer slips by to give way to autumn and soon we begin to see the countryside in its magnificent colours of yellow, gold and red, with the robin bursting out with song and the haunting call of skeins of geese as they make their way inland. Being an optimist, I believe that this summer weather has been, on average, not bad for this part of the world – yes, we have had days of wind and rain, |
but, throughout the summer months, we have been able to feast on all the fruits and vegetables from the garden as well as enjoying nature’s palette of colours provided by a multitude of summer bedding.
Our thoughts and activities now turn to autumn and winter as we make preparations for the longer, colder evenings, our social activities and winter programme of meetings. The church roof was checked with gutter repairs, a festival week-end in which young and old participated and the continuing Sunday services have been taken by Readers from all over Buchan Presbytery. We are very grateful to these people who turn out to spread the ‘Good News’ Sunday by Sunday, in all weathers. Aberdour Church is very fortunate in its office-bearers, both in Session and Board, as well as in all members of the congregation who struggle against immense odds to continue to support this church and its presence in this community.
The Nomination Committee comprising of members of Aberdour & Pitsligo churches continue to carry out the remit given to them – to find a suitable candidate to end the vacancy. The work of this committee is on-going and when there is good news to pass on, this will be communicated to everyone involved. I am convinced that there is an ultimate plan of which we all are part and we simply have to be patient to understand the working out of this plan. We do not see the whole picture, but, I am sure that, one day, all will be revealed.
