Visit to Trinity Church

As part of our learning for our R.M.E. topic 'Welcoming a Baby in Christianity', Primary 1 visited Trinity Church in Renfrew. Mr Steele was very kind, not only did he invite us into the church - he also spoke to us about what happens when a baby is welcomed into our local church. We learned all about a Baptism ceremony, and how important it is within the church community. Mr Steele also pointed out special items within the church such as the Pulpit, Lectern, Baptismal Font and Communion Table. We sat on pews, looked at stained glass windows and had a chance to go upstairs to the balcony. We took Murphy along with us - he was learning too! Room 1 also got the chance to look at a very important book while we there! Mr Steele let us look at the Baptismal Record book - it is over 100 years old! Mrs Wallace showed us the names of all the children Mr Steele had baptised over the years. The book had lots and lots of names inside!
