Sunday School

Children of any age are welcome to join our Sunday School which meets during school term time. The children leave at the beginning of the Church service and return in time for communion or a blessing. We presently have a team of 5 adult leaders assisted by several teenage helpers. The "Living Stones" syllabus is used which means that the children (in Pebbles, Rocks or Boulders groups) hear stories and often have artwork to share with the rest of the congregation about the Bible readings which their parents have heard in Church.

The team meet regularly to review and plan the timetable. On a bi-annual basis, usually summer and Christmas the children have led worship which has been much enjoyed both by the congregation and the children. Currently we have between 8 - 10 children attending regularly and around 12 on our roll. The Sunday School also acts as a crèche facility for a small group of younger children. The Sunday School currently meet in the Masonic Hall, a short walk from the church.

Safeguarding Children and Young People in the Church
The Scottish Episcopal Church recognises the special status of children and young people. Because of their vulnerability, children and young people will be awarded special protection. They are respected as persons in their own right, created and loved by God. We, therefore, commit ourselves to take all steps within our power to keep children and young people safe from physical, sexual and emotional harm.
The Child Protection Co-ordinator for St. Paul's is Muriel Markland, please phone her on 01738 441798 if you have a concern about how children are being treated.
