In both locations our primary age children have their own groups that run for the full length of the adult service.
BALERNO
In Balerno this is organised into Adventurers (P1-3) and Xplorers (P4-7)
These groups will worship together, play together, pray together and learn together. Teaching will cover Old Testament, New Testament and ‘Christian living’. Every child is placed in a smaller group to help build relationship too.
Roughly once a month a Saturday is identified as a social Saturday and events ranging from baking or arts to innoflate or movie nights ensure that our children can spend time together and invite their friends to more than just Sunday mornings. A termly plan for these events is shared well in advance for those who like to mark things on their calendars!
LIVINGSTON
In Livingston we have Livi Kids (P1-4) and then from P5 up the young people join the youth who split into age groups for discussion. Once a month in Livingston, P4-P7 join together while those of secondary age join the youth in Balerno and this makes the transition between groups very smooth. In both groups we seek to help the children and young people develop their own faith through teaching, chat and games.
We also run a residential weekend in September each year for P5-7 from both locations and their friends.
