Report from Youth Weekend
Pioneers
For those of you new to the church, you may not know about ‘Pioneers’, our Sunday morning group in Balerno for adults with additional needs. We meet alternate Sundays in one of the classroom areas. You may have seen us come and join in during the worship time and use the flags and banners.
Some people find that the format of the main service doesn’t suit them, and we aim to provide interactive bible teaching and prayer activities in a multi-sensory way.
The vision of Pioneers is not about creating an alternative to what the main church is doing. It is about recognising that we are all precious to God and that we all belong – every part of the body needs the other to grow and thrive and be a family.
If you have family, friends, or neighbours who you think might be interested to come along to Pioneers and get to know Jeus better, then please email jane.owens@stmungos.org to find out more.

Deeper Serving [S4-S6]
Money Coaching Course [CAP]
This is St Mungo's Course
This is St Mungo’s is a four-week course designed to help those who have started attending one of our St Mungo’s services regularly and who are wanting to become more involved and are especially thinking about joining a House Group. Our House Groups meet in lots of geographic locations with people in the Livingston and Balerno congregations in groups with people from their church service location.
The course will help you to find out more about:
Who St Mungo’s is and what it means to be a member
What we believe
What our vision and the core values behind our culture are
Each session will give you a taste of what a House Group meeting is like, and you’ll experience our core values in action. There will be tea and coffee (and cakes!), a time of worship and prayer, some teaching and a chance to ask any questions. The evening will start at 7:45pm and be finished by 9:30pm. It will be held at the Ministry Centre in Balerno.
The course runs for four evenings in total, and the dates are:
Tuesday 12th of September
Tuesday 26th of September
Tuesday 10th of October
Tuesday 24th of October
The course is also an opportunity for you to get to know us a bit more and to ask any questions you might have.
If you would like to attend the course, then please email Andrea at andrea.brewster@stmungos.org
Magnitude Feedback
Magnitude was a fantastic five days for the youth, team and volunteers who attended. Mungo’s had 31 youth attend for the five days, with seven others visiting for the day throughout the week. Plus a number of adults who were there as youth team, catering or serving as part of the SU Magnitude team throughout the week.

St Mungo’s Prayer Cells
Prayer is such a key part of the life of a disciple of Jesus as it helps us to become more like Him, who prayed with others, for others and on his own. Prayer reminds us of God’s heart for His world and reveals the wisdom of God helping us to pray in His will. Prayer is therefore key for us as individuals and as a church family and is why we have prayer cells.
