Congratulations Lorna!
Submitted by liz.dyer on Sun, 15/06/2014 - 21:40
A fair number of members and families turned up this afternoon in Whitburn to see Lorna take part in the Queen's Baton Relay as it made its way at quite a gentle pace through West Lothian, giving everyone a chance to see the Baton and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the event. Well done, Lorna!

The Queen's Baton arrives in Scotland on 14th June before ending its journey of over 190,000Km around the Commonwealth for the opening of the Games in Glasgow on 23rd July.
The Baton Relay will be travelling through West Lothian on Sunday 15th June. Taking part will be Lorna Graham, Sunday Club superintendent. She will be carrying the baton along West Main Street, Whitburn from Union Road to Manse Road, starting at about 2.44pm.
This is a great honour and privilege for Lorna to have been chosen as one of the 100 baton bearers in West Lothian and it would be wonderful to give her cheers and support along her route from familiar faces. It promises to be a memorable occasion all round.

June Letter
Submitted by gordon.jamieson on Sun, 08/06/2014 - 16:20Dear Friends
On Sunday 8th June we gather round the Lord’s Table to celebrate Holy Communion – the family meal of the church. On that day we shall also be celebrating Pentecost – the third great festival in the church’s year. Pentecost is the day when we remember the Holy Spirit coming to the apostles in Jerusalem. It was the coming of the Holy Spirit that gave the apostles confidence to go out into the streets and proclaim the gospel, the good news of God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ, incarnate, crucified and risen.
Throughout the history of the church the Holy Spirit has empowered people to proclaim the gospel with their words and in their lives. The Holy Spirit guides, strengthens, encourages and inspires all who are willing to be led in God’s way. It is the Holy Spirit that has led people in new ways, to new places, when that has been God’s will for his people.
Ten days after we celebrate Pentecost we shall be celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in the life of our congregations as we gather, on Wednesday 18th June, for Nanda’s induction. This should be a wonderful occasion when we look forward with hope and expectation.
Through the Holy Spirit, God will lead Nanda as your minister. Through the Holy Spirit, God will lead you to support Nanda and follow her lead. As I said in the April ‘Link’, these are exciting times for Polbeth Harwood and the West Kirk of Calder!
Yours sincerely
GORDON
