Messy Church!

What is it?

It’s for families, children and others and is held on the second Sunday of the month at 4 00 p.m. in St Mary’s Church and church rooms.

Messy Church is our attempt to be church for families who might want to belong to their local church, meet Jesus, and bring up their children as Christians but either can’t cope with the normal Sunday morning church services or find a morning service difficult to get to.

It’s a once-a-month time of creativity, worship and eating together. It’s made up of 3 parts – the messy bit, the service, the eating bit.

We start off in the church rooms with messy things like cooking, creating posters, painting, creative crafts and other messy stuff. Families can work together or in groups. There will be something for all ages.

Then we move into church for a 15 minute service of singing, story and prayer. Then we eat together.
