Sunday 24th April - and my apologies for not posting anything about the music at Killermont Parish Church recently.

Today, I played:

On the wings of a dove (Veni Creator), by American J. G. Barr
An organ arrangement of a song by Satie
Chariots of fire, by Vangelis. (Well, knowing that this afternoon there is a marathon run, a football match and the Erskine Bridge crossing, it seemed appropriate to have a sporting theme!)

I should like to mention a song workshop called Freedom is in your head! This workshop with South African songs is being held at Renfield St Stephen's Church, Bath Street, Glasgow, on Tuesday 3rd May from 7 pm until 9.30 pm. Most music will be sung by ear, and anyone is welcome. To find out more, contact Victoria at the Iona Community Office on
0141 332 6343
- or email victoria.rudebark@gla.iona.org.uk

Finally - this week I have heard sad news about the serious illnesses of a colleague, and a friend's daughter. In both cases, anyone who knows them would protest that "surely they're too young" for what has happened to them. Alas, illness is no respecter of age.

  • Please pray for these sufferers and their medical teams, and also for their families and friends.
  • If you are blessed with good health, give thanks! It's something we don't value until we lose it, isn't it?
