Big Night In: All adults are welcome to join us at the Ministry Centre from 7:30pm on Friday 10 March for an evening of games, chat and snacks. A great opportunity to be church family and just spend time hanging out together. 

Gold:  St Mungo’s group for those over 60 meets at 2pm on Tuesday 14 March at Church Building, Ladycroft, Balerno.  More information from gold@stmungos.org, or direct from David and Marjorie Brown. 

Life Seasons- (St Mungo’s ladies group) Clothes Swap- Saturday 18 March 7.30pm in Church Building, Ladycroft, Balerno- invitations have been sent out by ChurchSuite.  Contact lifeseasons@stmungos.org if you need more information.  Please note that  the Bethel team visit will not involve activities on the Saturday evening if that helps free up time to attend Life Seasons.

Spirit Café Training Postponed: The planned Spirit Café training on Saturday 25 March is being postponed until after Easter. This is primarily due to the team coming over from Bethel being added into our church calendar and not wanting to ask people to attend events on consecutive Saturdays.

Origin Scotland Resurrection Easter Event:  On Sunday 9 April at 7.30pm, the church is invited to join other churches attending this Easter Celebration at the Usher Hall.  The worship line up includes Allan McKinlay, Fiona Crow and Steph Macleod with Pete Anderson from City on a Hill Church as guest speaker.  We have booked 50 tickets in the stalls, please do sign up via the ChurchSuite invite if you would like to attend with the St Mungo’s group or book your tickets separately via  Easter Resurrection.  

Dedication services are being planned for Sunday 14 May in the morning services at both Balerno and Livingston.  Please email enquiries@stmungos.org if you would be interested in dedicating your child on that date or in the future.  

Baptisms: Our next baptism service will be on Sunday 4 June at 1pm in Balerno High School. We have 5 young people being baptised and potentially 2 adults. If you are an adult and are interested in being baptised then please email enquiries@stmungos.org. (In order to help those travelling from Livingston, our morning 1030 service will finish at 1145)

Christmas Gift Collection for 2022 is now closed:  We are so grateful for all the contributions towards this year’s Christmas Gift Collection for Life Center Church, Beirut to support their ministry of sharing the Gospel to Lebanese citizens and refugees arriving from Syria and other surrounding nations.  We are delighted to announce that our final total is £24,611.79 and this money will be given to Hayat Ministries [Life Center Church’s UK partner].
