PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Celebrate life! I have recently returned from a trip to the United States where we were visiting some of our family. October is a lovely time to visit the States, particularly if you are visiting the southern states, as it is still quite warm, yet not as humid and muggy as in the summer. You get a nice little blast of heat before you settle in for the winter. One of the things that we really noticed, however, is how more and more absorbed they are in Halloween. The lengths that some people were going to in order to decorate their homes for Halloween was extraordinary. One house was even building a full size replica of the bow of a ghost ship on the front grass and they were not using scrap wood, it was all clean, new lumber! However, the most disturbing thing that caught our attention
was that while traditionally Halloween ridiculed death in preparation for all saints day the next day; now Halloween seems to be a celebration of death and all things ghastly. It should, however, not be a surprise. Think of the TV shows and films that are popular these days; Zombie Apocalypse, The Walking Dead and True Blood. As a culture we have become fascinated and even obsessed with death and dying. As a Christian Minister I find this somewhat disturbing. After all, did Jesus not say, “I came that you might have life and that in abundance?” The whole Gospel is about a God who loved the world so much that he sent his only begotten Son that we would not perish but have eternal life. We should be echoing the words of Paul:- ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’ ‘Where,

O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’ That is how to ridicule death, not some of the macabre practices we see today. The irony, of course, is that some of the most decorated houses at Halloween are then some of the more decorated houses at Christmas. They go directly from celebrating death to celebrating the birth of the Lord of life and see nothing incongruous about it. I want to invite you today to celebrate life, not death. Come and hear the Gospel of life and if you do not have a church you call home come and visit St. James and join us as we approach the birth of our Saviour.

�
After an incredible year for Scotland we are now approaching Christmas and perhaps a bit of respite for folks from politics and a bit of family time. That is, of course, after the works nights out, the Christmas shopping and the battle for the last turkey! I am looking forward to a bit of quiet reflection on the year and to catching up with friends and family. As always, as we approach Christmas, I will take the opportunity to recognise the work of the many people who will still be working at Christmas whether they are elsewhere in the world in the armed forces, the oil industry or another job that takes people a distance away or whether they are in the emergency services and medical professions here in Moray. There are also the very many people who are working in retail and in hospitality throughout the Christmas period who will be providing a service to others who are fortunate to have the time off. Very best wishes of the season to you all.
At this time of year I am very much looking forward to some quality family time and, in particular the chance to see my children taking part in the traditional school Christmas activities before the Christmas break itself. Looking forward to 2015 we will undoubtedly see some really exciting times in Scotland on the back of our referendum year and the huge enthusiasm for positive change that it has created in our country. Going around Moray I have never seen so many people being so engaged with politics and the big issues affecting us - not just to talk about it but to actively want to help change things in whatever way they can. There is little sign of that enthusiasm abating, which is fantastic and really sets the scene for the coming year.

review
A Chef with Savoir Faire When I was told Elgin was home to a European and French Restaurant with a chef who had previously worked at the Savoy I was dubious: surely this is something I, as a self-confessed foodie, would know. Lido European and French Restaurant had somehow managed to escape my radar so I decided to rectify the situation the same evening. I invited my chef friend, along with my visiting Australian parents. We entered the modern restaurant and were warmly welcomed by the charming hostess who was finely attuned to the needs of her customers, even though it was a busy night. We were seated at a table that felt intimate, contrasting to the open and spacious feel of the restaurant on the whole. Shortly after arrival we were presented with toasted bread to dip into a pesto oil or balsamic and olive oil. For starters I had the Garlic King Prawns in coriander, chilli and garlic butter. The flavoursome oil, moist prawns and crunch of the crostini gave a wonderful contrast of textures. All starters were accompanied by a creamy dressed salad. The dressing had a tang and the subtle balance of flavours allowed the different leaves of the salad to remain distinguishable. We were all surprised by the ample portion sizes, expecting the modern minuscule meals that are the fashion. My Australian father, a connoisseur of calamari in his native land said the breaded calamari was some of the best he had ever eaten. My mother enjoyed the tang of the sauce vierge and said her sea bass was cooked beautifuly with a crisp skin. My chef friend chose the duck liver orange pate which he said was smooth and flavoursome. He found the fig marmalade to be a fantastic and exciting compliment to the dish. For mains my friend continued with the Pork Medallions for his main which he described as succulent, unadulterated and delicious. My father then chose another of his firm favourites, Lamb Shanks which he described as beautiful. I literally witnessed it falling off the bone. My mother chose the Grilled Salmon and King Prawn Skewers and although she loved it all, the mediterranean vegetables that topped the cous cous was her highlight. I treated myself to the Sirloin Steak and chose the delicious, creamy béarnaise over the peppercorn sauce, The steak was cooked to my perception of perfection: medium-rare, tender and with the lovely charcoal flavour I can never emulate at home. Although we were all full we tapped into our second "sweet tummy" to enable us to share a Creme Brulee and Tarte Aux Pommes, both desserts were superb and my mum whose favourite is Creme Brulee said it was to die for. I was delighted to have had a stunning meal and to have found a treasure hidden in plain sight.
