Young Church

The aim of the Young Church is to develop an inviting community for the younger members of the church. The Young Church lessons try to mix learning and fun. It is a place where Bible stories are taught and discussions encouraged through age appropriate activities and worship.

Organisation
The Leven Parish Church Young Church is organised into three classes. There are four Young Church teachers, with one main lead teacher who coordinates the sessions and the worship. The rest of the teachers are responsible for leading special activities with their age group. The Young Church runs throughout the whole school year with a reduced number of classes during holidays. In the summer months the children are especially invited to our family services at 9:30am every Sunday.

Time
The children and their parents are invited to come to the Lesser Hall on Sunday at 10:50am and got to the church service together for 11am. They sit together in the front of the church and stay for two hymns and a children’s talk. After that the Young Church leaves and goes back to the Lesser Hall for their groups. The Young Church finishes with a joint short worship with songs, a wee revision of the day’s Bible story and a prayer.

On the Sundays when Holy Communion is celebrated, the Young Church stays in the Lesser Hall and has longer group activities.

Typically a nativity play is organised at the beginning of December on Sunday mornings and performed at the last Sunday service before Christmas, involving as many children as possible. We have a Christmas party and a summer and autumn get-together, usually a picnic with all who want to come.
