Sunday School

Kiltarlity ChurchThe TCC group at Kiltarlity Church will be regularly participating in the morning worship service, as they dramatise the passages of Scripture which are being dealt with in the sermon. This allows the children to also keep in step with what we are doing in the worship service. The young people are enthusiastic about this thespian venture, and will begin right after the October break.Sunday School (ages 3 - 10)Sunday School currently has 11 children on its roll comprising boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 10. There are 2 teachers: Mrs Maggie Third and Mrs Linda MacKenzie.The Sunday School joins the congregation in church at 12 noon and following the minister’s address and children’s hymn they and their teachers disperse to the church upper hall for their own activities. Through the use of a variety of teaching resources the children enjoy learning about Jesus. They participate in 4 family services during the year i.e. Easter, end of summer term, Harvest Thanksgiving and Christmas. T.C.C. (ages 11+)The initial letters stand for Tomnacross Church Club. The group was formed 12 years ago, to provide a Christian focus for young people aged 11
(primary 7) and upwards. There is no upper age limit. The group meets
weekly in the vestry during the morning service at Kiltarlity Church of
Scotland.The group, when formed, agreed upon "Aims and Objectives", these being:
"T.C.C. is for young adults aged 11 - (presently)17. T.C.C. members achieve much, meeting regularly to learn more of Jesus Christ and His ministry, 
actively participating in Family Services 4 times annually, producing
materials to attract church members, going on exciting trips! Every
year the group go to Teen Ranch near Dundee, and to Abernethy Outdoor
centre. Both are Christian based outdoor activity centres where
participants enjoy a wide range of activities to suit all. New friends
are made, both by young people and adults alike. All staff are
Christians and at each "camp" group members enjoy and enthusiastically
participate in "Time Out", time allocated for worship and praise. All
who join T.C.C. can be assured of a very warm welcome and an exciting
time from within the church. |
Kirkhill ChurchSunday School"Whoever welcomes a little child in my name welcomes me" Matthew 18:5 Kirkhill Sunday School is growing and thriving, thanks to the enthusiasm of parents and the commitment of the church membership to prayer and encouragement. At present (March 2008), there are 23 children on the roll, including 3 in S1. After 10 - 15 minutes in Church, we leave to have a short time of singing together. We then split up into age groups for lessons and other activities. We meet every Sunday during the school term from 10.30 to 11.30am. There are 4 family services during the year, with the children taking part in reading, singing and drama. There are 3 teachers and a rota for other much needed help. We have found a lot of enthusiasm from parents and other church members to help in this vital work with the young.

Though we always meet at Kirkhill, we invite friends from Kiltarlity to join us when they can. We have three or four meetings with guest speakers, and for the other two or three, our own members arrange studies and discussions. We organised a World Day of Prayer Service again this year, after a few years without one. This was well attended by both men and women from Kirkhill and Kiltarlity.  |
