St John's Church

In the sessions from the summer holidays we've been looking at the stories of Ruth and Naomi, and then we moved onto the prophet Jeremiah. Through the events at the Potter's House (Jeremiah 18) we thought about how we are all created and shaped by God. We also learned that nothing can stop God's message in the story of King Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 36).

26TH AUGUST  This was Full Church Sunday when we were joined by the Old Parish Sunday School. We played games which focused on thanking God for our senses.

28-30TH SEPTEMBER  Megan and Ross took part in the Church of Scotland Children's Assembly which was held at Aberfoyle. They both met lots of new friends and had a great time!

7TH OCTOBER  We held a Bring and Buy sale to raise money for ‘Flush Out Poverty' a Christian Aid charity bringing fresh water to areas of the world where this is a problem such as Afghanistan, El Salvador and Senegal. We raised £263. Our thanks go to everyone who supported this event by bringing things, and by buying things!!

On 11th NOVEMBER for Remembrance Sunday we all helped to make a lovely Poppy Wreath which was placed on the wall of the church next to the grown-ups' one.

The first DVD evening for primary school children was held in November. The film was Babe and enjoyed by all.

Right now we are all working hard at getting everything ready for the nativity play which we will do as part of the service on Sunday 23rd December.

And we're talented too.....

Magnus, Sacha, Alex and Adam all have parts in the next Cupar Amateur Musical Society show ‘Fiddler on the Roof'.

Reverend Sheila is still feeling poorly. We all hope she is ‘on the mend' soon and send her our love.

We are also glad to have Elspeth back with us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne, Thomas and their family in their loss.

CONGRATULATIONS TO SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER AUDREY WHO MARRIED ROGER IN ST JOHN'S ON 26th MAY!

The Sunday School Christmas Party will be held on Sunday 16th December from 3-5pm. There will be games, videos and lots of lovely food. All Primary aged children welcome.

From all of the young people in the St.John's Church family, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear.

COME AND JOIN US!!

On Sunday mornings from 10.50am we all meet up in the hall at the back of St.John's Church.

Our groups are:

• CRECHE is the very special group of babies and toddlers who come along on a Sunday morning to be looked after while mum and dad go to church.
• BUBBLES- for children aged 3-5 years old. There is fun and laughter mixed with stories, craftand games.
• PALS- Primary 1-3 children have Alison and Audrey to lead them. They have fun and do loads of different things every week: drawing, making things, stories and much more.
• J4us - Primary 4 + 5 are led by Janette and Elspeth and make much of the art work seen on the hall walls.
• THE CLUB- The Sunday Club, for young people aged 10/12, is led by Martin and Katrina. This session we have been taking the story themes and making them come to life through drama, role playing and even baking!
• THE SQUAD - Emma leads the Squad, agroup of young people fromS1 to S4. They take their themes from a book called ‘Pit Stop' and produce plays and sketches which they do in church for the whole congregation.

Each Sunday we start off by meeting together to share the news of the week, give thanks for our offering and we usually sing a song or play a game before splitting into our groups.
