Children and teenagers are an exceedingly important part of our church. We hope that the church can function as a family does - with older members befriending and encouraging the young and vice versa! We hope that our Sunday Club programme, staffed by volunteers from the congregation who enjoy working with young people, introduces children to the basic truths of the Christian faith in a way which is relevant, meaningful and fun!

Sunday Club meets during the second half of the morning service and is open to all children of any age. If you’re just visiting us because you’re on holiday you’ll also be made very welcome!  If you’d like to contact someone about Sunday club e-mail office@dunsparishchurch.org.uk

These are the groups that make up the Sunday Club….

Crèche is for babies and tots up to around 3 years of age. Parents can leave their children in the crèche during the service or keep their children with them in the church if they prefer. The creche is run by a rota of volunteers. New volunteers are always welcome.   Contact Shirley McColm

In Sparklers (for those aged 3ish-p1) we have juice and biscuits and learn about God and how He wants to be our friend. We usually do a game and a craft and we pray about anything that is on our minds. Contact Myra Deakin.                                    In Trailblazers (for those in p2-7) we do games, crafts, see videos and have quizzes to get us to learn more about God and how He can help us in our lives. We have juice and biscuits too - you’re welcome to join us!  Contact Sarah Morrice

In ICTHUS 11 (for S1 - S4) we do some games or competitions and also try and work out what christianity is all about and how it’s relevant to us in our lives! We are working on some musical stuff and enjoy anything involving food.

During the school holidays these groups usually amalgamate on Sunday mornings with a slightly different programme from usual.                                                        The church supports the work of Berwickshire Christian Youth Trust (BCYT). Michelle Livingstone is employed by BCYT to work in schools and churches in Berwickshire and is well known to our young people. BCYT’s office is at Platform 1 on the industrial estate.

Some of our school-aged young people go to weeklong Scripture Union Holidays in the summer or eastertime where they take part in exciting activities, make new friends and learn more about God.  These holidays are to be highly recommended to anyone from p5 up to S6. 

We’ve been holding a week-long Holiday Club in the primary school every summer for the last 6 years to reach-out to children in the community.   Click to see photos of last summers holiday club - Clowning Around!
