Children & Families

At Granton we believe that children are valued individuals, and that families are a central part of the church and the community. We run a range of events that seek to support families in the community and offer safe spaces for children to have fun and grow in their faith.

For more information please get in touch with David Moodie, our Parish Assistant at david@granton.org.uk. And keep up to date with everything going on at www.facebook.com/childrenatgranton/

Messy Church

Messy Church is all about families having fun together-playing games, doing craft work, hearing Bible stories, singing, and sharing a meal together. It is for children from birth to P7 age and we run it roughly every month during the winter. If you have any questions, just email David at david@granton.org.uk ...

Family Film Nights: monthly on Fridays in darker months

During the winter months, when the nights are darker, we run monthly family film nights. These take place in the main church, and films are shown on the big screen. Film Nights are open to all, but children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult over 18. We really encourage families to come out to this together - a family trip to the movies could cost over £20 so this free event is a great way of getting a family night out on a budget, and meeting other families. [ai1ec tag_name="familyfilm" view="agenda" events_limit="3"] We want to ensure that everyone ...

Including children in the services

At Granton we have members of our Church of all different ages, and we believe in valuing everyone. We've been thinking about how we include our children more in the services, so that rather than spending most of our Sunday separated, children and adults have the chance to worship together as one family. To do this for the next few weeks, rather than leaving the service, the children will have a space at the back of the church they can go to where there will be activities and toys for them. It will be supervised by a volunteer, but we ...

Children’s Activities during the Service

Some folk will remember the news last month that we were planning to change the way that we provide activities for children during the service - read more here. The changes start from this week, 11th February. The Bible reading will now happen before the Kids' Talk, so that the young people can hear what the grown ups are going to be hearing about in the sermon. Then they will leave for their own activities after their hymn and come back into church after the sermon and chat.. What activities are there? For pre-school children there will still be creche - just ...
