A singing compliment for P4 & P5!

From the organiser of the Crib Blessing on 3 December at St Nicholas Kirk…

 

“Good afternoon all,

Just a wee note to say thank you for yesterday.  What a fantastic, sunny morning we had together.

Thank you for all the wonderful singing and smiley faces!

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas when it comes (21 sleeps!)”

 

Thank you to Miss Mainland and Miss Wallace for preparing their classes so well to take part in this.  It is much appreciated by ourselves and the wider community.

The Lord Provost of Aberdeen Barney Crockett said: “The blessing of the nativity scene is always a wonderful occasion and an opportunity to take time out from such a busy time of year to focus on the meaning of the Christmas story and the spirit of joy and hope.”

Refreshments are provided in St Nicholas Kirk following the service.

The Nativity scene will be open daily, from dawn to dusk, until 4 January 2019.
