Young Church
Young Church rehearsing for the Christmas Presentation, December 2013
Saint Andrew's has a wide range of ages, and seeks to take fully seriously the adage that children are not the church of tomorrow, but the church of today! Young Church offers age-related Christian teaching and nurture for children from 2 years old to those at the end of their primary school education. Godly play, Bible stories, songs, art and craft, drama and puzzles are all part of the regular programme. Additionally the members of Young Church have taken part in running coffee mornings for charity, completed the sponsored walk across the Tay Bridge for Christian Aid, and share actively in all-age worship services at various points during the year.
On Sunday mornings at 10am the children enjoy their own time and space in their various groups (Little Pebbles, Pebbles, Stones and Rocks), before joining the main body of the congregation in time to share in the eucharist. There is a crêche for 0-3 year olds, as well as age-appropriate activity bags, books, and toys available in the church for carers whose young people who would rather stay in church for the whole service but would appreciate an activity to do while they're there.
We want everyone to feel at home in our worship, and aim to provide Christian nurture for everyone, no matter what their age or experience.
