Balerno Youth from 1 November: We would like to thank Adrian & Tara Devlin; Gill Menzies & Kirsten Thomson for helping out with Balerno youth for the last 3 months as we appointed Jonny over the summer and gave him some transition time. They have done a fantastic job at reconnecting with youth on Friday nights and Sunday mornings as in person events have resumed. Jonny will take on full responsibility for Balerno Youth from 1 November and can be contacted on jonny.slatter@stmungos.org. Please note youth@stmungos.org has been deactivated.
Services during November: We will continue to have alternate morning services through November. Details for services in December will follow in due course.
