Junior Church

Young people are a very important part of the West Church family.

At the Sunday morning service there is usually a Junior Church Time after the first hymn when the young people are invited to gather at the front of the Church and the theme is set for the worship that day. After the second hymn the children go out with their leaders to the different Junior Church groups.

For children of pre-school ages 3 to 5 there is Beginners – currently meeting in the Library with leaders Margaret Ross & Elsie McRae, young children experience their first “church time”. This is done through an introduction to the bible and to Jesus, through story time and simple songs and prayers

In the Chapel - Explorers for ages 5 to 7 caters for the junior Primary school. Sonia Mclelland and Linda Mathers work together listening to the children’s news, telling the bible stories and sharing a craft-time.

The Quest group – ages 8 to 11 and meet up in the Church Hall. They are now starting to be more questioning and want to learn a bit more behind the actual bible stories. Hilary Sylvester-Evans and Chris Gardner lead the group through the weekly “Mystery Box” slot. and usually a game or drama. Emphasis is on serious fun and activity and the occasional song or video.

For those of Secondary School age, Focus meets in the Gallery and Drama, Discussion and Debate reflect the style of the session. Biff Barrow, Gwen Beange and Valerie Findlay share the lead but the group are keen to take on responsibility for small projects.
