The Sunday school children worked as a team to build a replica of King Solomon’s temple. First picture is an overview of the temple. Second is a closeup of the front. The third is the back of the temple. Fourth is a birds eye view and the fifth is a closeup of the interior of the temple with the Ten Commandments in the gold ark of the covenant and the intricate carvings of flowers and fruit.
On Sunday, 11 May, we celebrated “Copper Sunday”. This is a tradition begun shortly after the Royal Military College opened. On the last Sunday of term, cadets would march in formation across what is now the causeway, to various downtown churches for Sunday service. They would have been ‘encouraged’ to save up their copper pennies to toss into the offering plate during the collection. Now we use a large copper pot and encourage the cadets, and the Sunday School children, to toss the coins with maximum exuberance and noise, to the delight of the congregation as a whole. Here Piper Eric has begun the recessional to the stirring tune of Highland Cathedral.
