EnglishWhat Midweek Activities Does Ps & Gs Church Offer?
Updated
Ps & Gs Church in central Edinburgh runs two main midweek activities: Connect Groups and Whole Life Nights. Connect Groups are the church's midweek expression of church and part of its vision to help people become "whole life disciples." Whole Life Nights are a separate midweek gathering that the church says will start in September. Beyond these, the church also points people to a general events calendar and to serving on a team as ways to get involved during the week.
Connect Groups
Connect Groups are the core midweek activity. The church describes them as "our midweek expression of church and part of the church's vision to help us become whole life disciples."
- What they are: Midweek gatherings that function as an expression of church, not just a social add-on.
- Purpose: To help participants grow as whole life disciples — the church's stated vision of sharing the whole gospel with the whole of society through churches of grace.
- How to join: The website offers a "Find a connect group" option, so the practical step is to use that to locate a group.
If you want a regular, relational midweek commitment, Connect Groups are the primary route.
Whole Life Nights
Whole Life Nights are a second midweek offering. The church notes they "will be starting this September" and directs people to a link for more information.
- Timing: Starting in September (as stated on the site).
- How to learn more: Follow the "Find out more" link on the Whole Life Nights section of the website.
Because the site only says they are starting in September, check the page closer to that date for the current schedule and format.
Other Ways to Get Involved Midweek
The church lists several other activities and entry points that may fall on weekdays or supplement the two main midweek gatherings:
| Activity | What it is | How to engage |
|---|---|---|
| Coming Up / Calendar | Various events and courses | Use the calendar button to see what's scheduled |
| Serving: Join a team | Serving as part of a team; the church asks anyone who calls Ps & Gs home to serve | "Find out more" on the Serving section |
| Praying | Prayer described as part of the church's DNA and central to its activities and future direction | "Find out more" on the Praying section |
| Giving | Supported by the generous gifts of the congregation | "Find out more" on the Giving section |
| Saturday Meal | A safe place for people in need to enjoy a meal, 5.00–6.00 pm | "Find out more" on the Saturday Meal section |
Note that the Saturday Meal runs on Saturdays rather than midweek, but it is listed among the church's regular activities.
How to Decide What Fits
- If you want a consistent midweek group with a discipleship focus: start with Connect Groups.
- If you want a periodic midweek gathering or course-style event: look at Whole Life Nights and the events calendar.
- If you want to contribute rather than only attend: the Serving, Praying, and Giving sections describe ways to play your part.
The church frames all of these under its vision: "We are called to be whole life disciples, sharing the whole of the gospel, with the whole of society, through churches of grace." For current times, locations, and start dates — especially for Whole Life Nights — use the individual "Find out more" links and the events calendar on psandgs.org.uk, since the site indicates some details change (for example, Sunday service times were noted as changing from 10th January).
