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.
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.
We had a truly wonderful gathering on Christmas Eve. Over 40 children and their families came to create and explore the characters in the Christmas story, to listen to a creative re-telling before holding their lit Christingles to sing Away in a manger and to enjoy our festive snacks. Everyone took home a full goody and a storybook.
We gathered on Good Friday from 10am to explore the events of Holy Week and Easter through a wonderful morning of craft and prayer activities. We listened to a creative re-telling of the happy Easter story before going outside to find Easter eggs hidden in our church grounds. Over 30 children and their families enjoyed our Easter edition of Messy Church.
