Stephen recently spent a morning in Rephad Primary School, taking a P7 class along with Dumfries & Galloway Scripture Union worker Owain Evans. It was part of an SU Scotland programme that seeks to get behind many of the myths and traditions of this time of year and see what the Bible actually says about the birth of Jesus. Stephen helped run a Scripture Union group in the school earlier this year, so it was a good opportunity for ongoing contact with those who attended.
Stephen and Owain plan to do further visits this week in Kirkcolm and Sheuchan, and Owain will visit Port William, Belmont and Park with Daniel Sturgeon (the new baptist pastor) and Portpatrick and Castle Kennedy with Stephen Ogston (Glenluce).
