RME VISIT TO ST MARY'S CHURCH
Published: 05 November 2010

Standard Grade Religious Studies pupils travelled down to St Mary's Church in Haddington recently to see the Church as part of their Christianity course. 

Jennifer MacRae, the Minister there gave a short talk on the Church and the rites of passage which happen there, mainly Christenings, Weddings and Funerals.  This followed up her visit to the class where she spoke about what it means to be a Christian and her role as a Minister in the community.  She was fantastic about fielding some tricky questions from pupils. 

Although it was a flying visit, pupils were given the opportunity to look around the Church and ask questions.  All in all, an enjoyable wee trip.
