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 a brilliant Messy Church gathering at Messy Christingles on Christmas Eve - 4pm at Overstone Church. The church was full of children and adults taking part in our Christmas craft and prayer activities, joining in with the telling of the Christmas Story, and singing Away in a Manger whilst holding our lit Christingles. Every child took home a Christingle goody bag. It was a lovely way to start our Christmas celebrations.
And, we had a great time are our Messy Easter on Good Friday, 29 March 2024 - 10am at Overstone Church. Our crafts took us through the story of Holy Week and Easter, and we had a lot of fun hunting for Easter Eggs. And, those of us who could make it in the storm had a lovely time celebrating the gift of creation (God's abundant gift to us) at Messy Harvest on Sunday 22 September 2024 - 10am at Overstone Church.
Our next Messy Church gathering will be on Christmas Eve! Yes, the countdown to Christmas has begun. Messy Christingles on Tuesday December 24th - 4pm at Overstone. Do come and celebrate Christmas with crafts and prayers, carols and christingles, snacks and goody bags. It is a brilliant way to begin your family Christmas.
