We were delighted to welcome the children from Cleland Primary to take part in a morning, which was not only fun but helped us develop our understanding of Christmas.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it feels like\u00a0there is more ‘fluff’ than substance to Christmas and that the deeper meaning of Christmas is lost.<\/p>\n

Through games, story-telling and craft activities, ministers and volunteers from the Church of Scotland gave us a valuable opportunity to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.<\/p>\n

A few comments from\u00a0the children:<\/p>\n

“It was really good to meet new friends and work with people from our local community.”<\/p>\n

“I thought the puppet show was hilarious and it gave me something to think about.”<\/p>\n

“Presents are\u00a0great but so is Christmas.”<\/p>\n
