Ladycroft Services

The service begins with people standing in the sanctuary, with all the chairs pushed to the side, for a time of worship. There are a couple of rows of chairs at the back of the sanctuary for people to sit on should they wish. The worship is band-led and so expect drums, bass, guitars, piano and vocals. The lounge is setup as a quieter space and people often move between rooms. The lounge has a live video-feed and words to the songs displayed.

The talk lasts for around 20/25 minutes and there is usually some type of optional prayer ministry at the end of the talk.

Transform

This our monthly worship service. Expect the worship band in the centre of the room with people standing around them and also expect a louder volume than at other services. There is often prayer ministry, where trained ministry team move around the room and offer to prayer with people.

St Mungo’s Church is part of the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC) you can find out more about the SEC here.

The service times are between 1 hr 15 mins and 1hr 30mins.

All ages are welcome at the evening services, but there is no dedicated provision/groups for them. If you are looking for specific groups for your children and young people then check out our 10:30 services as there are dedicated groups.

Our services vary depending on the week of the month, but all begin with extended times of sung worship and an opportunity for Holy Spirit renewal prayer ministry.

People are invited to find a space in the room where they can worship and encounter God, but we encourage you to find a space in the cleared section of the sanctuary. This makes it easier for prayer ministry team and helps us to engage more easily in worship together.

After about 15 minutes, the trained ministry team offers to pray for anyone who wishes to be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit. If you prefer not to receive prayer, you can sit on the back 2 rows of chairs and you’ll be given space to meet with God on your own.

When we have teaching, there is a 20-minute talk from the Bible and we sit on the chairs laid out at the back of the sanctuary.

We just want you to be comfortable so there's no pressure to dress up smart or wear your 'Sunday best'.  People usually come to church wearing jeans, t-shirt, trainers, hoodies etc. Just put on whatever you would normally wear and feel comfortable in.

St Mungo’s is a word and Spirit church, who believes that the Holy Spirit works in our lives today. Personal prayer ministry is the invitation for our trained ministry team to pray for you, they will do this by asking if it is OK to put their hand on your shoulder and will then pray and ask the Holy Spirit to come and fill you. This is entirely optional and there is no pressure or expectation on people to come forward for prayer ministry

We record our 10:30am Balerno Sunday service and upload it to our Youtube channel ‘as live’ on a Sunday afternoon.
