ECO-Bee
Competition
Winners Sunday 6th September saw
the ECO-Bee competition
entrants lining up after the
service. Ailidh Copeland
was the overall winner and
she is pictured here
receiving her prize from
Sheena Edgar.
Apparently a chap called
Macdougall won the
seniors competition but perhaps with a little
outside help!
Pastoral letter October 2009
There are many aspects of parish ministry that thrill me but few more so than my fortnightly visits to Eddleston
Primary School. There we have lively assemblies with
cheery songs and hymns. I particularly enjoy the lively
interaction with the children and, much of the time, with
the teachers as well. At this time of year, as the new
P1 children are settling in and are filled with fascination
at all that’s going on around them, I too can’t help but
be moved by a sense of wonder at what seem to me to be the dual miracles of teaching and of learning.
The art and skill of teaching and of teachers constantly
amaze me and I find myself reflecting on how
remarkable it is that within such a comparatively short
period the little beginners will start to read.
Development of the curriculum seems to be a
continuing process and of course it’s vital that schools help to prepare young people for the demands of 21st
century life but few would argue that the core skills, of
which reading is one, continue to be a vital part of the
process.
As the only minister in attendance at a meeting recently
I was told that I should open the proceedings with a prayer because “you’re the one who knows the lingo!”
One of the potential risks of this, however, is that verbal
communication can too easily be considered the only
legitimate form of communication and that, somehow,
we have to be skilled with words in order to get our
message across.
Nowhere is this further from the truth than in the
context of worship and especially of prayer. As the only
minister in attendance at a meeting recently I was told
that I should open the proceedings with a prayer
because “you’re the one who knows the lingo!”
How sad that we should ever think that God sits at his
celestial desk with his assessment sheet, giving marks out of ten for language. The American writer Kathleen
Norris makes the point very well when she says that
“Prayer is not doing, but being. It is not words but the
beyond-words experience of coming into the presence
of something much greater than oneself. It is an
invitation to recognise holiness.”1
God knows our thoughts, our needs, our feelings, our hopes and our intentions far more fully than we know
them ourselves. Often our words are superfluous and it
should be sufficient simply to be at peace, recognising
the presence of God, offering to him what we are and
receiving from him an awakening to all that we can be.
Words have their place but so too does quietness.
With love,
Calum Macdougall.

enough recipe entries for our proposed cookbook therefore it
is with regret we’ve abandoned our plans for it for this year.
Church Flowers
Once again thank you to everyone who has donated flowers over the past
year and to the ladies who have arranged and distributed them.
I have just finished compiling the Flower Donors Calendar for 2009-2010 –
not an easy task and therefore open to mistakes. I do my best to allocate
dates a s near as possible to those requested taking into consideration
Weddings, Church Festivals and the number of Sundays in any month. I
would therefore be grateful if those of you
who so kindly donate money towards the flowers each week would check the new
Calendar, now on the Notice Board in the
Vestibule, to make sure they have been
allocated a suitable date.
I am always on the lookout for anyone
interested in arranging church flowers be they male or female. Great
pleasure can be gained from the priviledge of arranging such beautiful
flowers. Why not come along and see what we do on the Saturday before
Harvest Thanksgiving.
If you have any questions regarding donating, distributing or arranging church flowers please get in touch.

Our next anniversay is not far away
The current building of our church will be
celebrating it’s 125th Anniversary during
2011. It hardly seems long since the centenary for some of us...in fact there
might still be some mugs for sale! Our intrepid researcher the Kirk
Chronicler is wading through the Session records for the articles in this
magazine and would like to get the records into chronological order leading
up to the building of the present building in 1886. There will be some gaps to fill in and we’ve access to several resources in order to do this. The
Chronicler could do with some help as it’s a big task if we’re going to do it
properly so if you fancy yourself as a “Time Team” researcher please get in
touch with the Editor and he’ll put you in touch with research HQ! Go
on...there must be someone out there with an hour or two to spare?

Daily Worship in Peebles Old Parish,10am
Kirk Session Matters The Kirk Session of the Old Parish Church of Peebles
met on Wednesday, 9th September 2009 Compiled by Fiona Taylor
Mention was made of the health of Session members Mr
David Annand and Mrs Mary Clark, both recently hospitalised, and Mr Tom Swanston, who was involved in a
road accident along with members of his family.
The Minister stated that a memorial service will be held in the afternoon of All Saints’ Day (1st November). As in past
years, this is principally for those bereaved during the year,
but everyone is welcome to attend.
There will be a student placement here this year. Mr Jamie
Grigg will be with our church for 10 weeks from 19th
October 2009.
Mr Alan Douglas is to resign as Treasurer, now that much of
the day-to-day book-keeping can be done by the Church
Administrator.
Mr Alasdair MacFarlane reported on various fabric repairs,
including costings (£8000) for the repair of the sewage pipe
under the pend next to the church. This is to be replaced
and the ground reinstated, and access will have to be taken
through the church for the duration of the work. Some
trees will be removed around the rear of the church
building, and maintenance work will be done on the rear
steps, including the provision of a handrail.
A committee was appointed earlier this year to look at
alternatives to the Manse and its increasing maintenance
costs. Various builders have been approached, with options being considered on sale or development of the building and
grounds.
Mr Graeme Murray reported on Health and Safety matters. Some minor repairs have been done, after a “hazard
spotting” exercise. Two Accident Books are kept here, one
at the front of the church and one in the Hall kitchen.
Mr Roger Trueman reported on the Access for All project.
Planning approval will soon be agreed. There are no
objections from Historic Scotland, and there is approval
from the Church of Scotland General Trustees and from
Presbytery. We are still negotiating with the Courthouse
over the actual construction works.
The barbecue held in July in the Manse grounds was a great
success, being blessed with excellent weather and
contributing £525 to the Access fund.
The Minister stated that the sound system needs to be fully
operational for funeral services, as well as for normal
Sunday use. The Hall should also be open, so that
mourners have access to toilet facilities.
The Peebles Youth Trust, who are affiliated to the Y.M.C.A.,
are keen to maintain contact with local churches, and aim
to be funded by the local community. We are happy to
support them and will make a specific donation from one of
our services.
The Glasgow Phoenix Choir will perform in our church in
February 2010, on a date to be finalised.
We are still negotiating with Scottish Borders Council over
the possibility of a reserved space in the Greenside car
park.
The Toddlers Group recently made a very generous
donation of £500.
The Minister stated that he had been asked to be Chaplain
to the Air Training Corps Wing in Penicuik. They wish to
hold their annual service here on 6th June 2010.
The CD-ROM version of CH4 has recently been produced,
and a copy of this will be purchased for use on our Power
Point presentations for Sunday worship.
Could you contribute to our “Who we are” or Recipe column?
We should have enough members in TOPCOP to run this
column for over 50 years, sadly all but a few are too shy. Don’t
be. A church is not only a building…it’s also the people in it so we’d be delighted if you’d like to contribute to this magazine by sending us your
details for this column.
Simply e-mail the editor for a form and send your responses back
on [email protected] or you’ll find a form in the MacFarlane Hall after services. A photo would be really handy obviously.
There must be the odd favourite recipe out there from all you
home bakers in Peebles…you can share them through our recipe
column every month…go on and send it in.
For two Saturdays in a row I attended day
conferences on the theme of Climate Change. The
first of these was on the 5th September when I went
to Colston Milton Church in Glasgow. The title of the
day was ‘Going Through the Roof’. The underlying theme of the day was to highlight the need for all
churches and individual church members to continue
to reduce their carbon footprint by 5% a year, to
comply with the instruction given to all
congregations by the General Assembly this year.
The reason we were meeting at Colston Milton
Church was to observe the huge commitment of this
priority area congregation in taking on this project.
Their church at the moment is their hall, as the rest of the building has been condemned. It would take
too long to tell you on this page about their whole
plight but the long and the short of it is they have
embarked on an amazing act of faith. We were
shown the plans. Here is the image of the sanctuary
copied from the Church of Scotland web-site. You
can read more at
www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news/nr57a0809.htm
The sanctuary of the new
church will be
built from tyres!
The hall which
will be
incorporated
into a community
centre will be
built of straw
bales. Although they will be using old tyres [tyres
are now not allowed to go into landfill], aluminium
cans and straw bales they still have to raise £2 ¼
million for the whole project including the community
centre. The sanctuary itself will cost £900,000. The
whole community are pulling together, some are
actually physically constructing the building and
many are collecting cans for filling in the gaps
between the tyres. When it is finished it will emit 2
tonnes of CO2 a year compared to 30 tonnes at the moment. I came away feeling very humbled and
feeling that I would like to help raise some of that
money.
The following Saturday I went to a meeting in
Edinburgh run by Christian Aid. The main aim of the
day was to try and raise as much awareness of the
rising need for all churches and church members to
use the resources of God’s creation wisely. We were also encouraged to lobby the Prime Minister to
attend the ‘Climate Justice’ talks in Copenhagen in
December. If you think this is something that you
would like to do, I will have postcards, in both
churches throughout October, for you to fill in and
send off to Downing Street.
We were also told of an ecumenical celebration at the
Lutheran Cathedral in Copenhagen on the 13th
December which will end at 3.00pm with the ringing of their church bells 350 times. On this day the
United Nations climate negotiations will be at their
height. Churches around the world are being invited
to sound their own bells, or even shells, drums,
gongs or horns, 350times. Why 350? According to
many scientists, climate experts and progressive
national governments 350 parts per million is the
safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. Until about 200 years ago, our atmosphere contained 275
ppm of CO2 but now the concentration stands at 390
ppm. Unless we are able to reduce CO2 levels again,
we risk irreversible impacts on God’s wonderful
creation.
If you would like to come along to either the Old
Parish Church, or Eddleston Parish Church, at 3 pm
on the 13th Dec and help ‘ring’ out the changes,
please contact me after church, by phone (720568)
or by email ([email protected] ).

Shredder
A young engineer was leaving the office
at 3.45 p.m. when he found the Acting CEO standing in front of a
shredder with a piece of paper in hand.
"Listen," said the Acting CEO, "this is a
very sensitive and important
document, and my secretary is not here.
Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the young engineer. He
turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the Acting
CEO as his paper disappeared
inside the machine, "I just need one
copy."

A thief in Paris planned to steal some Paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it
safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of
petrol. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime, and then make such an
obvious error, he replied,
"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings, I had no Monet
To buy Degas, to make the 'Van Gogh'
The Talking Centipede
A member of the congregation decided life
would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet shop and told the owner that he
wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a
talking centipede, which came in a little white
box to use for his house. He took the box back
home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by
taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to
church with me today? But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, “How about going to church with me and hear Calum preach?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a
few minutes more, thinking about the situation. The guy decided to invite
the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and
shouted, "Hello, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and
hear the choir sing?"
This time, a little voice came out of the box, "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes!"
In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am, regardless of their medical
condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something
to do with the super natural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the
deaths occurred around 11:00 AM Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts
was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday
morning, a few
minutes before
11:00 AM all of the doctors and nurses
nervously waited
outside the ward to
see for themselves
what the terrible
phenomenon was all
about. Some were
holding wooden
crosses, prayer
books, and other
holy objects to ward
off the evil spirits.
Just when the clock
struck 11:00,
Charlie, the part-time Sunday
sweeper, entered the
ward and unplugged
the life support
system so he could
use the vacuum
cleaner.
Thanks from the
magazine babes.
Thank you. Since we included the costings for this magazine in this column
we’ve had a great response.
In the year beginning 2006 we collected £1800 for the magazine and so
we’re delighted to announce that for the twelve months ending in 2008 the
donations rose to £4,131. We calculated that the magazine costs somewhere in the region of 35p per copy to produce and so we’re delighted
that this increased giving represents 53p per copy…we must be doing
something right… and we’re about to give you colour too! So it’s a big thank
you to you our readers from the Magazine Babes.
