WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.679 Hello, welcome to our sixth Pastoral Update video. This is Friday 24th of April and each 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:16.800 week we just want to give you this short video to support you and encourage you as we work 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.120 our way through these strange and difficult times. This week we're going to do something 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:27.120 a wee bit different. Most of us are on lockdown, most of us are at home all day and we've got 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:33.160 lots of time in our hands so it's a really good time to learn some important new skills. 00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:40.160 Today we are going to learn three Gallic words. So I want you to focus, listen really carefully, 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:44.920 this is a great opportunity to learn a wee bit of Gallic. Here's three brilliant words 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.920 that I want us to learn. First word is, thain gal. Now I want to make sure you pronounce 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.800 it properly, you've got to watch your T so when you say t in Gallic it's a kind of soft 00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:06.200 t sound, it's not t, it's t. If you ever think coffee from a cathedere sometimes when you 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.159 take the last sip you can get little bits of coffee in your mouth and it kind of makes 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:17.159 you want to go t, t, t, that's the kind of sound you're looking for. Thain gal. And it 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:24.759 means thankful. And I picked that word because we want to just say how thankful we are for 00:01:24.759 --> 00:01:30.719 you and for all that you've done. We thank God for all that you are doing just now. 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.560 You have been brilliant at adjusting to everything and the way in which you have embraced online 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.920 services and prayer meetings through Zoom or JITSEE, we are so thankful for the ways 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.920 in which you've embraced that and been willing to adjust to these things. We're also thankful 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.879 for all the ways in which you've kept in touch with one another. It's just been brilliant 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:59.200 to hear of how you've supported one another at this time. And we are so thankful for your 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:06.400 prayers. Both Derek and I are really conscious of your prayerful support and that makes such 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:15.480 a massive difference. So we are so thankful to you. And we are thankful to God as well. 00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:20.800 And I think it's really important to say that even though this is a strange and in many 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.759 ways difficult time, it has also been a reminder that there is so, so much for us to be thankful 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:34.080 to God for. And we just want to remember that every day that we are thankful to God for all 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.960 that he's done. Okay, next word is a longer one. It's 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:48.760 kucch och ug. Okay, so let's practice that. Kucch och ug. Kucch och ug. You've got to 00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:55.560 make sure you do a proper sound in the middle and an ug sound at the end. Kucch och ug. 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:02.200 Kucch och ug. And it means help. And the reason we picked that word is because we just want 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:09.560 to say that as always, if there is any way in which we can help you, please let us know. 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.079 For many of you, this is a time when you're isolated, practical things can be more difficult 00:03:15.079 --> 00:03:20.439 and it can be just a harder time for lots of reasons. So as a church, we want to provide 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:26.000 you with help. If there's anything you need, please get in touch with your pastoral teams 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.319 or contact us directly. You can email us at kucch och ug at sincesfc.org. No, I'm only joking. 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:42.080 It's help at sincesfc.org. So if we can give you any help, please let us know. And again, 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.639 thank you for all the ways in which you've been helping and supporting one another. So 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:59.399 if you need kucch och ug, just shake. Last word is, last word is, dah chis. Dah chis. 00:03:59.399 --> 00:04:06.239 And again, the d is quite soft. It's not d, d, quite soft. And the a has to be long. 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:13.279 Dah chis. And make sure you do ch in the middle. No ch. Don't, don't let me hear you say ch. 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:23.639 It's not right. Dah chis. And this is a brilliant word. It means hope. And we just want to remind 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:32.399 you of the amazing hope that we have in Jesus. As lockdown goes on, it can feel quite long. 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:39.160 And just this week, governments are, are, are very cautious in saying these restrictions 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.040 could last for quite a long time. And that can be discouraging for us, because we do 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:50.320 want to get back to normal as quickly as we can. But no matter how long it takes, no matter 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.280 how difficult the lockdown is, nothing can take away from the dah chis, the hope that 00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:02.560 we have in Jesus. And more than anything else, that's what I want to remind you of today, 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.560 that in Jesus, we have amazing hope. So there's your three Gaelic words. Thank you. We are 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:16.319 so thankful. Kut chok chuk. If you need help, please let us know. And above all else, remember 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:33.360 the dah chis that we have in Jesus. Thank you.
