There was lively discussion, with a thoughtful and fun question and answer time at this evening’s Youth Group, with our Presbytery Youth Worker Donna Hislop, and the United Free Church of Scotland Youth Development Worker, Richard Knott. Our thanks go to both of them for being so open and honest in their answers to some very probing questions from the youngsters.

We had an interesting sermon this morning in a very snowy Canonbie, given by Sue Jackson of Annan. She told us about the common sense that geese display when they fly in a V formation, how the airflow over the geese’s wings helps those behind, that the leader’s position is shared, as that is the most strenuous, how if a goose drops out of formation, others will follow to give aid. Also, that the geese at the back of the formation will ‘honk’ their encouragement to those at the front. Sue asked us to compare the V formation of the geese to how we live our lives. What kind of ‘honking’ are we doing?
Here is an interesting article found on the web – well worth a read!

Our youngsters looked at what is the true meaning of Advent and Christmas last night, having some fun along the way. Human Christmas trees and playdough Nativity scene and Rudolph.
