Letter
Dear All
Those of you who use the Kaimes Road Halls for one of the many activities that takes place there will have noticed how bright and attractive the main hall is looking, following the polish and varnishing of the floor. Some of you might have noticed that the area around the walls has changed, as the pews that were removed from the church in 2003 are no longer there. Both of these happenings came through the workings of the last few meetings of the Congregational Board, and the Fabric committee are to be commended for the work that took place in arranging the clearing of the hall to enable the contractors to get on with their work.It has taken a while to get rid of the pews, in part because there was a wait in case the Congregational Board and Kirk Session decided that they wanted to replace them, but also because the quality of the wood was good and therefore it was felt that we did not want cherished pews to be placed on a skip. As the pews were not particularly ornate and some did not have ends, local reclamation yards were reluctant to take them as they did not think they had much resale value. A few of the pews have been used for making new furniture around the St. Annes building by one of our talented members, and some of the wood has been taken for use by a wood-crafting group.However at the beginning of the year, in an on-line article on the Church of Scotland website, there was a story about wood and old pews being needed for some work happening at Greyfriars Kirk. The Congregational Board took the decision that they were happy to pass on the pews, and by the end of August a group from Greyfriars Kirk had collected them all.Greyfriars Kirk have a project called GROW happening. For a good number of years the congregation have been involved in caring for some of the homeless people who live around them, by providing them with food. In recent years, that work has grown and now there a a variety of projects happening which enable those people who feel they have been discarded by society to find a niche for themselves. One such project has been the establishment of a medicinal and culinary herb garden, where homeless people and former prisoners are taught gardening skills, along with cooking and the making of essential oils. The project to which our pews have gone offers those who are homeless or former prisoners the opportunity to learn wood-crafting skills, through the making of furniture and wooden gifts. The minister, Rev. Dr. Richard Frazer, spoke a little about the project at Edinburgh Presbytery last month, and also spoke about how volunteers with skills in these areas would be very welcome.

So after 6 years, pews that no longer seemed to have a useful purpose have become useful and are being made into new and beautiful things. Some reclaimed wood is enabling others to reclaim their lives and sense of purpose in the world.Heading into November, and towards the darker winter period, the shortening daylight hours can sometimes give way to inner gloom. Yet throughout the month of remembering that lies ahead there are opportunities to reclaim the hopes that others have set before us. At the beginning of the month, All Saints Day invites us to remember all those who have influenced our Christian faith, while Remembrance Sunday itself is full of the hopes that many had for loved ones during a number of armed conflicts. Towards Christmas, our Blue Christmas Service will welcome those who have lost loved ones this year, or for a longer period of time, along with those who struggle with the emphasis of joy during the Christmas season, and the hopes for Gods world will be spoken.Through the remembering of Gods hopes for humanity in all seasons, when we feel that we are lost or overwhelmed by the tasks of life, perhaps then we might hear clearly calling the reclaiming words of God that invite us to remember to whom we belong and for whom we have a place to serve.

Christmas Messages
Some people will remember that Nancy Macleod Nicol did not send Christmas cards to her friends in St. Annes. Instead she placed a small Christmas message within the December magazine. Given that there is a potential postage strike members of the congregation may wish to follow suit and exchange their Christmas greetings on the pages of St. Annes magazine and make a small donation to the Outreach Fund.

ensations
On the 21st 23rd of October, around 25 kids aged 3-12 gathered at St Annes church hall. Me and Robert were some of the older ones attending. This year the theme was senses, and we worked hard on posters and dance moves to decorate and perform on the Friday evening. We also had smelling, tasting and listening sessions.Some of the extra fun treats we experienced included: pets corner with Timothy the cat and Asher the Dachshund, smelling sessions with perfume and slightly less welcome scents such as catnip. We then performed a perfected dance and song routine on Friday evening along with games such as a beetle drive, and if that wasnt enough we also had a blind trail with items to smell, taste and touch. Thank you very much to the helpers, they were great over the couple of days that we were there.Lauren Nimmo with help and inputs from Robert Nimmo

Autumn is galloping past and we will soon be involved in the pre-Christmas activities. But first a look back to Harvest Thanksgiving and a very big thank you to the entire Committee who contributed to the decoration of the Church.A big thank you also to Stewart Dawson who once again produced the bale of straw on which the fruit and vegetables were displayed. It adds that special authentic country harvest touch. Stuart has been doing this for more years than I care to remember and I hope he will continue to do so for many years to come...Now to November, Mae Barr starts us off and is followed by Bethia Doyle for three Sundays with Myrtle Turner doing one in the middle. This makes up the 5 Sundays in No- vember which include Armistice and St Andrews Sunday.Occasionally money is given to the flower fund anonymously and, as I cannot thank these donors individually, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their much appreciated generosity.Nancy Wallace

Mem- bers of St Annes and the minister manned the stall to answer any questions people had on the clubs and groups we offer.

Chocolate Week
Did you miss Chocolate Week? Sponsored by FairtradechocolatecompanyDivineChocolate there is still time to indulge with delicious recipes and treats.The UK population consumes £37.5m worth of Fairtrade chocolate per year. This amounts to 3 million kilos of Fairtrade chocolate, an average of 500g per person per year. Some of the cocoa will have been lovingly grown in Ghana by the Kuapa Kokooco-operative. First certifiedin 1995, Kuapa Kokoo has nearly 50,000 members, one in three of whom are women, tending family farms about the size of six football pitches.The Fairtrade premium they earn has been invested in building wells for drinking water, public toilets, and a mobile clinic to visit members villages. With investment in training in leadership they have set up other ways for women especially, to earn more money, making soap and palm oil, milling corn and farming snails. Snails are, happily, not the recipe we chose for baking today : See at the end...

Music in St Anne's
A MARVELLOUS MUSICAL MEMORY(St. Annes _ 6 on Sunday 4th October 2009)We are just back home after a most enjoyable evening listening raptly to a future star without doubt. We consider it an honour to have heard him - and his accompanist, who is a virtuoso in his own right.Stephen Laidlaw played two different cello pieces. Neither of these was what I, an ignoramus so far as music is concerned, would consider pop classicals. They were each played with such competence and magic that we wondered out loud what more he could learn at University!The first was by Beethoven a theme and variations on a theme from The Magic Flute. The second was a Brahms Sonata for Cello for cello and piano in E minor (3 movements).Between the two cello pieces, Stuart Montgomery the pianist, who accompanied him played some wonderful Debussy. Again, the melodies he played are not the ones that we all know well but themes which were a pleasure to hear for the first time in my case. Estampes for piano consisted of 3 entirely different pieces, the variety of which brought out the magnificence of our new piano and had us all listening in awe at Stuarts ability.Those who werent there missed themselves.F.E.G.

(St. Annes _ 6 on Sunday 4th October 2009)
We are just back home after a most enjoyable evening listening raptly to a future star without doubt. We consider it an honour to have heard him - and his accompanist, who is a virtuoso in his own right.
Stephen Laidlaw played two different cello pieces. Neither of these was what I, an ignoramus so far as music is concerned, would consider pop classicals. They were each played with such competence and magic that we wondered out loud what more he could learn at University!
The first was by Beethoven a theme and variations on a theme from The Magic Flute. The second was a Brahms Sonata for Cello for cello and piano in E minor (3 movements).
Between the two cello pieces, Stuart Montgomery the pianist, who accompanied him played some wonderful Debussy. Again, the melodies he played are not the ones that we all know well but themes which were a pleasure to hear for the first time in my case.

Thank You!Dear all,I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who made a contribution towards my leaving gifts. I am extremely humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness from all of you. On top of this, I am very grateful to MaryAnn and everyone else who has wished me well, both in cards and in words.It was in some respects a sad experience to be finishing my time as organist at St. Annes, but on the other hand, it was a time where I could reflect with great joy on the many successes we have achieved in the last two and a half years. Of course it is not a good-bye but more like an inevitable and temporary break, for I shall be around at holidays and continue my membership.Despite being busier than most first years, I am having a great time here and am enjoying subjects as well as the many extracurricular aspects.To everyone, for your support and generosity, I thank you.Calum

November is the month for our special patron saint. However there is another important saint who has a special day on the 16th November. She is Saint Margaret.Margaret was the daughter of an English prince but her mother decided to take her back to her family home in Hungary. On the sea voyage a violent storm blew the boat onto the coast of Scotland at North Queensferry. They asked to be given shelter by the King. He looked after them and later married Margaret. She became a good Queen who looked after her people. As a devout Christian she made sure the poor and orphaned children were clothed and fed. She encouraged priests and monks to come to the country and she had her own special chapel built at Edinburgh castle. She often travelled to the abbey at Dunfermline to worship. The place she boarded her litle boat became known as Queensferry.She was made a saint because of all her good works. Today we can visit her little chapel at the castle and remember a very special Queen.Doris Duff
