’We feel sad that going to Church is not common any more’

Holly and Isabel Baldwin

HI, we are Isabel (aged 10) and Holly (12) and we have been going to St Ninian’s Church in Dunfermline all of our lives. We like the church because it is friendly and welcoming, and we learn about the Bible and about God and Jesus. The Sunday School is fun and the leaders are really nice and we have friends there.

We are normally the youngest people in church apart from sometimes one or two toddlers. This makes us feel special but it would be nice if there were more people our age. Everyone treats us kindly and we don’t feel talked down to because we are young. Some of our favourite memories of church are: doing the Nativity play, especially when Isabel got to play Mary; doing the Christingles and singing carols at Christmas; having a soup lunch after the harvest service; taking part in a sleepover with all the church youth organisations; Sunday School outings, picnics and going to the panto in January; and doing the arts and crafts at Messy Church.
