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/

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 ...

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. We want to ensure that everyone has a chance to ...
