Dear Friends
Welcome to the first edition of North News in 2016. This is the first of the new bi-
monthly issues and covers February and March. This means that it covers the period
of Lent and Easter.
We as Presbyterians are not as hot on marking Lent as some other Christian
denominations, however, the choice of 40 days for Lent is quite deliberate. Before the
start of his 3 year ministry, Jesus went out alone into the desert for 40 days. You
might ask with no mobile phone, computer, iPad, or friends what he did with all that
time. With no distractions, Jesus had time to give careful consideration to his life and
its direction – He, of course, knew fine well where the next few years were to finally
lead. Once he had spent this time in contemplation he began his ministry of preaching
– “The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel.” The Church
calendar, in Lent, provides us too with the possibility of a time of reflection and
contemplation. What do we like? What do we not like? What are our real priorities?
In what direction are we going? Is it a good direction? Does it need some
revision? Is a complete overhaul or re-evaluation needed? Where is God in all of
this? The extended period of 40 days helps us to avoid any hasty conclusions and
encourages us to involve God in our thinking through prayer, study and listening for
His still small voice. With contemplation, we might be able to determine if what we
believe is truth rather than simply our perception – which is normally biased in our
favour! When Jesus left the desert He was quite clear about His direction and
message. He gathered folk around Him, went out and spoke boldly and without
apology. Lent, if we use it properly, could lead us to greater clarity, from which we
can begin to live the message, live the Gospel and not just be a bystander or even
pretender. So are you ready for this time of Lent? What will this time reveal? Will
you obtain the clarity from which to move forward? My prayer is that you do. We
at Perth North Church are joining with neighbouring congregations in a series of Lent
studies – more details inside this edition, however, the event at the North Church is on
Monday 22nd of February at 7.30pm. Come along and join us.
Finally, Valerie, Scott and Caitlin join me in thanking all who sent us Christmas cards
and for the lovely presents that were received. We very much appreciate these and the
affection that lies behind them.
Your friend and minister
Hugh

Colossians Bible Study Notes – Rev J Colin caskie
Colosse was one of three cities in the Lycus Valley, about one hundred miles inland from
Ephesus. Although Paul had not visited the place himself he was given a full account of the
situation from Epaphras, who had planted the churches.
Like Churches today there was cause for thanksgiving, but also grounds for concern because
of plausible false teaching which presented itself as a higher form of Christianity.
Thanksgiving – chapter 1 verses 3-5 – your faith, your love your hope, and chapter 2:5 – how
firm is your faith in Jesus Christ.
Concern – 2:8, no one should make you captive through hollow philosophy, human tradition
and this world’s principles.
The thanksgiving suggests a dependence on biblical psalms, rather than contemporary
literary conventions. The tone of Paul’s thanksgiving is worshipful, and fashioned as a prayer.
It is offered to his readers – and by extension to us – much as an invocation at the start of a
service, calling the congregation to worship.
Paul’s purpose in thanking God is to locate his instruction in a setting of worship.
He remains a pastor at heart seeking to nurture his flock. His letter is not composed in a
scholars study in an ivory tower; his prison cell is a pastor’s study, and as he writes his concern
for the people weigh heavily on his heart and mind.
Paul’s thanksgiving and concern lead on to prayer – chapter 1 vv 9-11. Note the emphases –
That God would fill you with a knowledge of His will.
Live a life worthy of the Lord
Bearing fruit in every good work
Growing in the knowledge of God
We too see a Church with grounds for thanksgiving and a cause for concern.
As we read these verses, and note the items in Paul’s prayer, ask yourself in which of these
directions do you most desire or need to make progress.
Knowing God, the product of an active spiritual life, sparks obedience to Him in all aspects of
life. A mature knowledge of God’s word always yields a public and practical result – behaviour
which conforms to the will of God. At its root, the crisis at Colossae, as in the Church through
the centuries, is a crisis of knowing God. When we know Him by faith we become like Him.
That is the work of grace.

A highlight last year was having two classes of Robert Douglas Memorial School who
came to the Open Door to learn about running a café, as they were preparing to have a
café event at their schools. The questions were very varied and entertaining and the
children were a credit to their families and school.
What has struck me most over the past year has been the conscientiousness and
dedication shown by the helpers and bakers of the Open Door who despite facing
difficult times in their personal lives have continued to serve. A special thanks to you
all and may you know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

News from the Kirk Session
The Kirk Session has expressed its thanks to 7 Elders who stood down from active eldership
at the end of 2015 and they are as follows:
David Chalmers, George MacDiarmid, Margaret and Ron Nicolson, Iona Pringle, Charlie
Stewart and James Young.
Their period of service as an elder stretches back for up to 43 years. They join our roll of
Elders Emeritus who now number 34.
We now have 56 active Elders who hold the position of Trustees of the registered charity
that is our local congregation - Perth North Church. That responsibility as Trustees is
brought into focus each February when we approve the Trustees Annual Report as required
by charity law. That report contains detailed annual accounts, but also a record of the
congregation’s objectives and achievements during the past year. As in previous years it
will be made available to members and others on our website, and in print on request from
the Office and I would commend it to – a good read. Extracts from that report will be then
be presented at the congregation’s Annual Stated Meeting which this year will be held at
the end of the 11am service on Sunday 20th March. I do hope as many of you as possible
will be able to stay behind for this short meeting.
We start a new pattern of meetings this year with just 6 formal meetings in place of 10,
with more time set aside to meet in our smaller “Area of Ministry” Groups. Our annual
conference has been arranged for 19th March 2016.
As always, if you would like any more information on any of the above, please do get in
touch – contact details can be found in North News.

Boys Brigade Report
January 8th saw the start of this session with the boys coming back for more fun and training;
The usual Friday night will continue with some chess as the annual Brigade Competition is at Scone on Sunday 24th January;
We will be having a walk in the Dunkeld/Pitlochry area on Saturday 27th February but this will only be for the Company boys and the Juniors;
On Sunday 28th February we will have our annual Fun Run on the North Inch for all the boys. We had the largest turn out of any Company last year so we hope to keep that up this year. The funds from this go to World Mission and other charities.
We did so many visits to so many different places last year that I am looking for new places to take the boys for a day or an evening visit. Any ideas greatly received!
We are going to be sitting the test for the World War 1 badge and the Young Navigator badge too before the end of the session so good luck to the boys!

to Pakistan and will be distributed during January and February.

Fresh Sounds Rehearsals are in full swing for our evening at Letham St Marks Guild on 29th
February. We have sung there a few times already and are looking forward to a
happy evening. We plan to sing in the North at some stage before we finish at
the end of March.
Christian Aid As usual we will be contacting our collectors shortly to check availability for
Christian Aid Week which, this year is 15-22nd May, with the Coffee Morning
on Saturday 14th. As we say every year, there is such desperate need in many
parts of the world and, as Christians, we should be putting our faith into action
and our hands in our pockets to help those living in desperate conditions. The
North has always been generous in its giving and we are lucky to have such a
dedicated band of collectors - BUT we can always use MORE! Further details in
the next North News.
Urgent – please read on and please pray about these requests We urgently require leaders to help with the youth in our church.
The Lazers group which meet on a Sunday evening is a group where the youth of the
church can get together and chat and participate in various activities. Last year the
stalwart team of the last 8 years gave up and we have had John Banks and Ian Parker
keeping it going over this year however we need other people to commit to this group
of youngsters. For more information please contact the minister or Joh Banks.
The Boys Brigade have a vacancy. At the end of this year’s session Margaret Rose
will retiring as Officer in Charge of the Anchors. She will be extremely missed by
both the boys in the anchors and the other officers. We need to look for someone to
take over her duties and we would like someone to take over from her as soon as
possible. Assistance is given and if you think you can help or know someone who
might be able to help please contactme via the church office.
