The address to the Sunday School children on Sunday 9th of May had the children, and the Rev Bill Brown, walking briskly round the Church.  Why? To show the Children all the plaques with the names of people who worshipped in St. Mungo's many years ago. Some list bygone people of distinction, including a list of all the ministers since 1760. The lists of names above the organ identify those members that fell in the Great and second world wars so that we and our descendants should be free of tyranny. One name was even carved on a pew, by some naughty young boy around 1920. One of our Sunday School boys was quite adamant "it wisna me"!

The names signify that St. Mungo's was a special place for them, and to celebrate that our Church is also a special place to the Children, each was measured for height and their name marker placed on the "secret" door at the side of the organ. Along with a photograph of the occasion it marks a special time in the children's life that can be looked back on in years to come.

As Bill mentioned in his sermon, in days long gone the boundary of a farmers field was walked by the owner as part of the confirmation of the deed to the land. Lawyers, to save time walking the boundary would take a sandal off and "wave" it over the land to signify the Deeds complete. In fact the tying of a boot to the rear of a newly married couples car is a symbol of that ritual.
