Hello, I am pleased to share with you the work of SU Scotland in independent schools in the west of Scotland!
Below is a snap shot of what is going on. If you want to get a fuller picture, please register for my termly newsletter, which you can do on this page. Also there are many opportunities to further the Good News, we always need more volunteers! If time is too limited to volunteer, you can support the region financially on this page too. The more people involved in volunteering and giving - the more we can do!!
PRAYER
One of our values in SU Scotland is dependence on God, so prayer for the work being done in independent schools is greatly appreciated.
If you would like to join the group of teachers, parents, and others involved with independent schools, to pray once a term, please get in touch and I shall be glad to send you information.
My prayer letter includes stories of the work, prayer points and opportunities to get involved. If you would like to receive copies of these please email me or use the small form on this page.
Our hope is that every school in Scotland would be prayed for. You can find out more about how we this is happening here.
SCHOOLS
SU Groups are an extra-curricular activity providing an inclusive opportunity for children and young people to explore the Bible in a safe environment. It is an exciting part of my job where I get to visit and participate in these SU Groups, here I have the fantastic opportunity to gather with the children and young people in their schools and look at God’s word and have fun together.
These groups can be led by a range of volunteers (parents, teachers, youth workers and even senior school pupils themselves). I really enjoy supporting these volunteers and helping develop senior pupils develop into young leaders.
HOLIDAYS & WEEKENDS
There is huge value in spending a concentrated time with children and young people in a temporary Christian community. If you are a parent, perhaps you would first consider sending your child to the independent school’s weekend, where a taste of the activities and fun can be sampled? A weekend flies by so quickly so many young people and volunteers like to return for a week-long holiday, which they would be welcome to spend with us at AV7, the final SU Holiday of the summer at Alltnacriche near Aviemore. Details of all weekends and SU Holidays can be found here.
Thank you for taking the time to read about what’s happening in independent schools in the west. If you can support the work by praying, giving or volunteering then please get in touch, it would lovely to hear from you.
