Eastertide at St. Columba’s

During the season of Eastertide, St. Columba’s is experimenting with a series of all-age services in the round.  The normal Sunday morning service of Sung Eucharist is largely unchanged, but the children and babies are welcome throughout, and the sermon slot is aimed more at the children, with an art activity or drama.  We’re all learning a lot about worshiping together as the weeks progress!  There will be two more services of this type – 17th and 24th May – and then there will be a joint service for Pentecost at Augustine United, for St. Columba’s, Augustine, and Greyfriars.
