A rainy morning didn’t stop us enjoying our visit to our local Church of Scotland! We spoke about why and how babies are christened and saw the font they use. We also learned some new names for the things we saw … the pews, lectern and pulpit. We heard about the history of the church and, after Mrs Leslie’s Assembly, we also looked at Betty Mouat’s resting place.
We sat in pews to listen to Debbie talk about the church.
She showed us where they read from the Bible. It’s called the lectern.
The minister stands in the pulpit so they can see all of the congregation.
This is an old window that was saved from the original Church of Scotland in Quendale.
This is where babies would be christened. It’s called the font.
