children and families Church at Home Hello Everyone, We hope you are all keeping well and saying safe. We are very sorry that we cannot meet at the moment as we normally would.

There are 5 short videos: three telling the story one simple craft and one baking lesson. To follow along just watch the videos in order and pause whenever you need to. And if you have access to a printer there ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
