Fifteen children regularly attend Sunday school with 4 teenagers, some parents and registered staff supervising. The Sunday school meets in a small hall in ‘The Kirkie’, St Combs at 10:45am when they are not involved in special services at the church.
At the service held in Lonmay Church on 2nd July 2023 the Sunday School gave a presentation of the subjects that they had covered during the term. The children were presented with good attendance prizes.
Sunday School Open Day: Sunday 3rd November 2024
As numbers have dwindled a little at Lonmay Sunday School we have arranged a wee open day to encourage new children to come along and see what Sunday School is all about. This open day is as it says on the tin, it is open to any children who are keen to learn more about God and how he still impacts our modern lives. Details as below:
Event – Lonmay Sunday School open day
Date – Sunday 3rd November 2024 (and yes I realise we have clashed with communion but this is our first day back)
Time – 10.30am – 11.30am – join in to the normal Sunday fun – open to any child of primary age onwards (unaccompanied if they wish) or pre-school nursery age (accompanied please)
Time – 11.20am – 12.30pm – come along and speak to other parents & children, try some crafts, sing some songs and join us for some sausage rolls and pancakes
Where – The Kirkie, St Combs (across from the school)
Cost – £1 donation per child
Information – Sunday School runs every Sunday from 10.30-11.30 term time (we start the Sunday after the schools return from holidays and stop the Sunday before they break up for holidays). We cover a different topic each term, sometimes it might be a bible reading or a bible character, other times it might be a theme using a variety of bible readings. Using a mixture of crafts, activities, games and songs we learn along with the children of how the bible is still as valid now as it was when it was written. The last Sunday of each term we go along to Lonmay Church and share what we have learnt with the congregation.
Sunday 6 October: Lonmay – 1200 – Sunday School presentation.
