Dear Friends

Phase 3 stonework and hall and hall kitchen
renova�on and pulpit repairs.
The informa�on given reflects the generosity
of members of the congrega�on in gi(ing

reveals, perhaps less obviously, the extensive
work that goes on behind the scenes in
securing grants and working alongside the

appoin�ng contractors, to name but two
aspects of what is required.
The two key people involved in this on our
behalf, Michael Herrio�, Factor and Convenor
of the Property Commi�ee, and Kenneth
Ramage, Treasurer and Convenor of Finance &
Management, have already given a great deal
of �me and exper�se to these works, and will
con�nue to do so over the coming months.
I want to take this opportunity to thank them
and to ensure them of our support as things
progress.
I also draw your a�en�on to the Dates for
your Diary on page 3 and hope you will be
able to a�end as many of these as possible.
We plan to run a bus to Nick Bowry’s
ordina�on in Aberdeen on the 2nd of October
and there will be more informa�on about this
in the next newsle�er.

SECMA – Links Afternoon Tuesday 14 June 2-4pm at St James Penicuik
Christ Church has supported the work of SECMA (the ScoEsh Episcopal
Church Mission Associa�on )for many years, and the annual a(ernoon
mee�ng on 14 June is a good opportunity to hear about SECMA’s on-going
work and meet members from other congrega�ons.
At the mee�ng Hilary Blyth, Provincial Secretary, will give an overview of
SECMA’s new projects for 2016. We shall then hear from Rev Lynsay Downs, Rector of St
James Penicuik (and of St Mungos West Linton) who will talk about exis�ng links between
West Linton and the Diocese of Cape Coast in Ghana, and her plans to develop these and
other possible overseas links .
Finally Margaret Mungavin will speak about her
visit to Pales�ne last year, and the con�nuing
challenges facing people there. Margaret is a
SECMA Central Commi�ee member who
previously lived in Pales�ne and maintains strong
links with that country and the projects there
supported by SECMA .
Tea/Coffee/juice will be available in the hall from 1pm, and you are welcome to bring a picnic
lunch to eat there. The mee�ng will begin with worship at 2pm, and should end with tea at
4pm. All are welcome, and there is space to park right beside the church. If you would like
further informa�on, or help with transport, please contact Ceci Stephens on 446 0922
