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.

Lyn ChalmersCrche
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
be available throughout the year. The volunteers
do a Sunday 3 or 4 mes a year and we are
always happy to have addional people to add to
the list.
Having run the crche for several years I wonder
if someone would like to share the responsibility
and volunteer to do 1 or 2 Sundays a month.
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.

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.

Shoe Box AppealOver the summer holidays I will be making a start on covering the shoeboxes ready to pack them with
goodies to send to very poor children in Eastern Europe. I have about 50 empty boxes so far, but not
much Christmas wrapping paper, and of course items to pack inside are always wanted, as are many
more empty shoeboxes.
Please have a look over the summer and see what you can help us with from the following:-
Toys- something to love
Bears, so toys, tennis balls, nger puppets, jigsaws, yo-yos, building blocks, small musical
instruments, trucks, cars, clip on earrings, make up, hair accessories etc.
Educaonal supplies- something to do
Felt pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, colouring books, notepads, picture/puzzle books, chalks, pencil
cases, sckers etc.
Hygiene items- something to use
toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairbrushes, hair clips, wrapped bars of soap, face cloths etc.
Other items- something to eat or wear
Sweets (sell by date at least March 2014), gloves, scarves, sunglasses, caps, hats, bangles, necklaces
etc.
If you prefer to give a monetary donaon, this can be used to shop for items we are short of, or for the
cost of sending the boxes.
Please leave any contribuons in the hall on any Sunday or
contact me and I can pick them up. It would be brilliant if we
could send 100 boxes at least in this centenary year.
Thank you all for all your eorts to bring a lile joy to manychildren who are in desperate need of some.
