Messy Church is all about welcoming families of all ages into a creative space, with crafts and reflective activities, food and friendship, and short acts of worship. Here, in this benefice, through the church year, normally, we host a number of Messy Church celebrations.
We had an amazing gathering on Good Friday for Messy Easter. We explored the story of Holy Week and Easter and the gift of new life through our craft and prayer activities, by listening to the Easter story, and by enjoying our Easter snacks. We finished with an Easter egg hunt and took home a bag full of goodies.
And, on a sunny but windy morning, we enjoyed creating bug hotels, water catchers and kites, and exploring the wonders of nature that are above, below and around us during our first outdoors version of Messy Church on Sunday September 21st.
Our next gathering is...
