This afternoon, we were taking the Christmas Assembly at Inverness Royal Academy. In a departure from previous practice, pupils had a choice as to whether to to attend the service or not. I felt the service worked really well. The theatre was nearly full and the pupils present entered into the spirit of the occasion, singing and listening well. Special mention must go to Miss Robertson and her S5/6 Choir who sang a beautiful song called "Bethlehem's boy Child." The song was written by Miss Robertson and I'm sure it will become a favourite as other choirs come to hear of it.If anything, it would be good to work out ways in which the pupils can participate more in the Service. Perhaps we can look at having some more choral or musical items as part of the service next year.
Sadly, the Secondary assembly clashed with the P4-7 Hilton Primary School Asembly, so we missed out on Chris Watt leading that service. Hilton's two nurseries also came to the church for services on Tuesday. At all the services , our welcome team co-ordinated by Colm Back put on hospitality for the parents and friends visiting. We are delighted to have these opportunities together with Hilton Primary School to welcome many people into the church at this time of year, and we're grateful to everybody who helped making and serving teas/coffees and mince pies. Your hard work is much appreciated.
