Growing Young (Carse Kirk)

We are listening to young people. We are giving decisions and leadership to young people.

Parents, young adults, people in training, students, pupils, teenagers, children: we want to know what your life is like, what you miss. We want to be with you and for you.

'Snooshed' youth group,    Young adults group,    Messy Church,    Junior Church/Sunday School   - these are ready to explore now. 

(For 'Muddy Church' / 'Outdoors Faith'   we want to hear from 'outdoorsy people' what they (you) would find suitable.)


Young people & children in Sunday morning church : We are very relaxed about children moving and talking in church. There is a play corner with activity table and toys - children can move freely to and fro.

We want our young people to give the direction what works best for them.

Join other young people here on Sundays normally:

 9:30 in Abernyte Church activity table , 

 9:30 in Inchture Sunday School (*not in school holidays*), 

 9:45 in Auchterhouse , 

 11.00 in Invergowrie Junior Church (plus toys at activity table)



Worshipping Christ - in diverse ways:


in church , we worship Christ, using a mix of the new and the old:  

reading from the bible, singing songs, thoughts/reflections, story-telling and prayers led by worship leader and others. 

All ages, including young people are always welcome.  For when / where see ' Events calendar' .

Services of worship are always public, everyone is welcome anytime. 

We call it a 'service' because it's meant to be refreshing and maintaining for our spirituality, just like a service.

 

  • Online services are a nytime on youtube . 
  • Sunday morning services 9.30am each in both Abernyte and Inchture, 9:45am in Auchterhouse, 11 am each in all Invergowrie, Longforgan, Muirhead
  • ' Together (joint) services ' are great for making new friendships, feeling the celebration and joy of a larger gathering in worship:
  •           for Sidlaw (area Fowlis, Liff, Lundie, Muirhead and Auchterhouse) are on the LAST Sunday of EACH month at 11am.
  •           for Carse Kirk (area Abernyte, Inchture&Kinnaird, Invergowrie and Longforgan) are on the FIRST Sunday of  Mrc., May, July, Sep., Nov. at 10am.
