Preparing for Christmas…
The past week, was truly ‘beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ at St Ninian’s…….First, during 9.30 Sunday Mass, the children’s liturgy group brought smiles to many parishioners faces through their enactment of their ‘unrehearsed’ Nativity play.
Nativity Play
This version of the Nativity acted and sung by the children was very appropriate and made us all think about the true meaning of Christmas- Christmas should not be overtaken by the commercialism of the season. Their final song was very moving. If you’d like to see them and hear them, click the video
Carol Service
On Tuesday evening, a joint Carol Service with St Clements was held in St Ninian’s – a very joyful and meaningful service written by Maureen Ruddy. The singing was considerably enhanced by the children’s voices of St Ninian’s school choir and their rendition of ‘Alleluia’ was beautiful.
School’s End of Term Mass
On Thursday afternoon, the church was filled with excited children from St Ninian’s for their end of term Mass and Carol Concert. It was a beautiful and happy service and a very meaningful one for Mrs Dundas, (Katie) who was retiring after 37 years of teaching, 17 of which have been at St Ninian’s. She will certainly be missed but hopefully won’t be a stranger to the school or the parish. I’m sure, like all the congregation she enjoyed the children’s choir and their singing of her favourite carol, In the Bleak Midwinter and of course, Alleluia
