ACTIVITIES
YOUTH AND FAMILIES
Our vision is that all children and young people live life to the fullest (John: chapter ten, verse ten). Our aim is to help and support them in achieving this by providing opportunities to learn, grow, and prosper in a safe, fun, and caring Christian environment.
We hope you find something in our programme that suits your unique family circumstances. Every child, teenager, and family member is special and unique, and we hope there is something we offer that meets your needs. We have weekly groups for children and teenagers, and monthly events specifically designed to cater to families. A list of opportunities for Youth and Adults is available through our drop-down menu under the activities link on our home page.
In addition to regular events, we host special and celebratory occasions throughout the year, including All Age Family Services—for all the family during the morning service, with children and young people participating and Fun Family Activities for the whole family on the third Saturday or Sunday of each month (times vary). We also offer young people the chance to participate in a week-long Long Summer Holiday Club, which is for all primary school-aged children and is usually held during the last week of the school summer holidays. The Angus McConnell Memorial Football Tournament is an afternoon of football at the East Kilbride YM and YC Football Club in East Kilbride, typically at the end of May or the beginning of June.
Specific details about these special and upcoming events will be posted in the ‘What's New’ section on our website. However, if you require further details or information, please contact us through the Contact Us portal on our church website. We look forward to welcoming you to any of the groups or activities we offer soon.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
For children in pre-school to primary 7. We meet every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. in the Upper Hall of the Old Halls.
Children should be dropped off at the Upper Hall (next to the Church, up the ramp, and then upstairs) from 10:50 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and collected there after the service (the
Sunday school only goes into the Church on special occasions). We generally have a mix of music,
puzzles/quizzes, games, crafts, 'circle time' chat, a prayer, and a Bible story.
