Bless this Horse

Once a quarter, Stewartfield Church New Charge Development meets at the National Museum of Rural Life in Kittochside. There, they celebrate Communion on the long Communion table from Kilninian Church on the Island of Mull, which is now kept in the Museum’s ‘country life’ collection.

Last Sunday, they had a special guest: Sue Ellen, a Clydesdale foal, on her first showing in public at the working farm attached to the museum.

Children present at the service of worship held in the Museum’s theatre thought about aspects of the foal’s life where they could ask prayer for blessing, and also designed a cloth for the communion table with horse motifs.  Then they went out to the yard where Campbell Steel had the horsebox with mare and foal waiting, gathering a crowd of onlookers.

Minister, the Rev Douglas Wallace said he hoped to use Rogation as a time to increase prayer for blessing of many kinds in the community, beginning by focusing upon the life of one recently-born farm animal and its many needs and the blessing it can bring to others, great and small around it.
