We are constantly looking outward to a needy community and praying that God will present us with fresh opportunities to befriend individuals and families. We have been focusing particularly on reaching young parents and children. We are also seeking to develop meeting points for informal gatherings outside the church walls where we can welcome an un-churched generation who see no need for the Church.Although we have a special concern for children and young people who would otherwise have no contact with the Church (see our Youth page), our outreach is by no means confined to children and we also feature in our calendar:Weekly Bible Study groups which meet for study and mutual supportOur coffee shop which is open most Saturdays from 10.00-12.00The Bristo Guild which meets on Mondays"Mums in Touch" - our mother and toddler group which meets on Friday mornings from 9.30-11.00 The dancing groupThere are also a wide range of informal points of contacts with activities and groups in the wider Craigmillar community which give us an opportunity to make friends with those around us.
