Mission

Scripture Union are about valuing children and young people. They help them explore what Jesus said and did. They offer times and places where they can discover, challenge and decide.  This is done by supporting local SU Groups, offering children and young people the opportunity to experience camps and outdoor adventures most importantly everything is underpinned in Prayer.  Find out more about SU here.

Storehouse is a local charity organised by The Full Gospel Church.  Storehouse aims to provide  essential supplies to families in crisis in the Dalkeith area.  Regular, ongoing donations  of food, as well as essential household supplies meet the immediate needs of those in crisis.  Please keep an eye on our pew leaflet and magazine as on an ad hoc basis larger items are often required.  Small items can be left in the basket at the back of church however, please speak to Peter if you think you have something else that may be of use!  Together we can make a difference.

Our latest connection is with the Baguma family in Uganda. Sam, Abbie, Rachel & Rebecca. Sam is a Ugandan Christian with a varied business and financial management background. He grew up in a Christian home and committed his life to Christ at the age of ten. After completing his Business Studies in Uganda, and his chartered accountancy training in Kenya and the UK, he worked with accounting firms in Kenya, UK and Uganda before taking on an Africa regional development position with CURE International, helping to set up and run hospitals for children with physical disabilities in developing countries.

Abby studied Development at university and had already embarked on a career in international development working with the Oasis Trust in India, UNHCR in The Gambia and the Church Mission Society (CMS) in London before moving to Uganda where she worked for the African Palliative Care Association. Both had a heart for missions but developed their skills in the NGO and commercial sectors first as they waited for the time when God would open the door to mission.
