Balerno morning service. On Sunday 23 June there is an external event using the drama studio at Balerno High School. This may affect parking, so please allow extra time to walk or park further away. This also means that all primary children will be together in the Riverside Café, and will need collecting from there – and also extra supervision of all children in the public areas is needed. It is worth reminding people that we should only ever access the areas we have booked, and should not therefore be going upstairs except for the pre-school groups.
Summer Services. We are doing church a bit differently over the summer holidays. For all the details and to read why we are doing this head over to the website.
Spirit Café Livingston on Monday 24 June in Mercure Hotel, 7.30-9.30pm. Great event to invite friends along to.
Communion, Worship & Soaking: Thursday 27 June 9.30am - 10.30am. A short liturgical communion service followed by a time of worship and soaking in the Church Building, Ladycroft, Balerno.
Housegroup leaders meet on Wednesday 26 June at 7.45pm at church building Balerno.
Beach Trip: Sunday 30 June 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. If you need lifts then chat to other housegroup members or message on our Facebook group. No booking required, just turn up!
Summer Hog Roast (Sunday 11 Aug): The church family are invited to the Hog Roast in the Woodcroft Garden on Sunday 11 August from 1pm. We are subsidising the cost of the food, so tickets are £5 for anyone over the age of 12. Those aged 11 and under are free. Please bring chairs / picnic blankets and drinks and sweet treats to share. Please book your tickets by clicking here before Sunday 21st July. If you have a dietary request (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc) please add that to the notes. We don't want cost to be a barrier for anyone, so please email enquiries@stmungos.org if you or your family would like to request a free ticket(s), or if you have any questions.
