Week beginning 2 July (covers all July)

Click here for the latest news post: Summer evening services.

Summer services programme hereDo check out all the services happening over the summer in our various locations.  Invitations available in Balerno for morning family services.

Please read the information about the plans for the 7 weeks of school holidays (2 July to 13 August inclusive) as our services are different. There are 4 services each Sunday and you are free to choose whichever service or services fits best for you.

These are:

08:45 – Traditional Communion service @ Church Building Ladycroft, Balerno

10:30 – Church Family service @ Balerno High School (All ages)

10:30 – Morning Service @ St Margaret’s Academy, Livingston.  (no separate 0-18 groups)

18:30 – Evening Service @ Church Building, Ladycroft, Balerno.  Starts 9 July.

Livestream. Over the summer weeks (from 2 July to 13 August) we will be live streaming the adult focussed service from Livingston, not the Church family service in Balerno. Please therefore be aware that by attending the Livingston service you may appear on the livestream.

Beach Trip: Sunday 2 July we are off to the beach! This is an informal opportunity to gather as church family for the first Sunday of the summer holidays. We will have our 1030 service options and then head to Gullane Beach for the afternoon. (paid parking available by card or £2.50 cash).  This is not an ‘organised event’ so you are encouraged to bring your own picnic, buckets and spades and any games you fancy playing, and you will be responsible for any children and young people that you bring along. It’s a great opportunity to spend time together as family. Look out for the St Mungo’s flag!  No booking required, just turn up!

The next Life Seasons event for all women in the congregation will be on the morning of Saturday 30 September when we will have author and speaker Sharon Garlough Brown coming to share with us. More details will be shared, but for now pop the date in your diary so you don't miss out!

Youth events start back on Friday 18 August.

Wellness Centre is closed until Monday 14 August.

Minis starts back on Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 August.
