From the day they are born children are loved and cherished members of God’s family, and we want them and all their families to feel at home in Liberton Kirk.
In Church
Children are very welcome at any of our services. There is a welcome leaflet (look for the big “Hello!”) which explains where things are in the church which you might need. During the 11am Sunday service there is a crèche in the halls for under-threes, and older children have their own programmes for part of the service, or once a month for the whole of the service.
MESSY CHURCH

This is a short time of worship specially for the under-threes, although their carers are welcome too and seem to enjoy it! There are action songs, a story, something to make and take home, prayers to join in, and shakers to make a noise in the last songs. Don’t miss it! Dates on noticeboards or flyers. There is a break in the summer for the school holidays.

Nursery Sunday Club
For three-year-olds up to the point where they join Primary School, this is held in the Small Hall on Sunday mornings during the 11am service. Children join the first part of the church service and parents can go to the halls with their children until they are happy to be left.
