Balerno High School Update. We are pleased to be able to return to Balerno High School this Sunday, and for our 10:30am and 1pm Baptism services to go ahead as planned.
· As the concourse is not available, both of these services will be held in the large games hall, near the swimming pool. Follow signs and directions from staff team for this and the 0-18 groups.
· There will therefore not be refreshments after the service, or healing prayer, connect point or welcome point. The heating in the school is still being repaired, so please come prepared for it to be colder than normal, maybe even bring a blanket! We are bringing in heaters to take the chill off, but anticipate that it will still feel a bit cool!
· Baptisms. Bring your lunch -including your own hot drinks as no refreshments are available that day, and be there to support the people who are being baptised in the school pool.
