Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me

There are a variety of activities for the children / teens of the Parish including;

JAM Club (Jesus and Me)

This group is for primary school aged children and meets fortnightly on a Thursday afternoon from 3.45pm – 5.15pm. It includes something to do, something to think about and something to eat as we finish with our tea before parents and carers come to collect the children.

Girls Brigade

  • Newtongrange Company meets from 6.30 pm each Tuesday evening during school term-time in the function suite of the Dean Tavern during the redevelopment work at Newtongrange church . For more information about Girl’s Brigade contact Gillian Clark.
  • Mayfield Company Explorers (girls in P1 to P3) meet each Thursday between  6.30 and 7.30 pm. For more information contact them by email
  • Juniors and Brigaders (p4+) from 6.30 pm to 8.30pm each Thursday evening during school term-time in the Mayfield & Easthouses church hall.

In their Companies, the girls meet each week to work through a programme of activities suited to their age and ability following a syllabus of spiritual, physical, educational and service subjects.

The main emphasis is on fun and enjoyment as they learn to work and play together. Activities include crafts, baking, games and entertaining. Christmas can be a visit to the panto, or puppet theatre. At the end of our GB year, each company has an Annual Display – the girls entertain their families and friends by demonstrating some of their activities, and each girl receives a token of recognition for her commitment of attendance and badges for awards gained.

Scouts and Beavers.

Meeting in Mayfield and Easthouses church hall on Mondays from 6.30pm.
