On Sunday, 3rd November, Aberdeen North Church will welcome the Riding Lights Theatre Company for a special performance of Cups on a String, a heart-warming and powerful new play.

This unique production is based on real-life stories of school mentoring relationships, highlights the transformative impact of connection, listening, and trust. The play powerfully shows the incredible difference that one caring adult can make in the life of a young person.

The Cups on a String performance coincides with the Church’s launch of an exciting new mentoring initiative through a partnership with the charity Transforming Lives for Good (TLG).

Jay Thomas, our Church’s Community Development Worker explained, “This play marks the beginning of our church’s involvement in TLG’s Early Intervention Mentoring Project, an initiative aimed at supporting young people who are struggling in school and beyond. The programme trains volunteers from local churches to mentor children, offering them practical and emotional support to help them overcome challenges and build brighter futures.”

The Early Intervention Project will be delivered by volunteer mentors from Aberdeen North Church, Northfield United Free Church and Sheddocksley Baptist Church.

Jay added, “Our involvement in the TLG programme aligns beautifully with the themes of Cups on a String. Both the production and the mentoring project emphasise the importance of connection, communication, and community support in helping young people flourish and thrive.”

The performance of Cups on a String takes place at Aberdeen North Church on Sunday 3rd November from 7.30pm. It promises to be a powerful, thought-provoking and entertaining night.
