During half term we had a Light Party for Messy Church- a time to celebrate Jesus the light and the good in the world. 14 children came with some new families from the local schools and Carmel Pentecostal church.

We used cardboard templates and paint to make firework scenes. We made colourful crowns. We made jam jar lanterns and day & night pictures. Some children spent time making stained glass windows out of tissue paper.

We played some party games; musical statues with a torch and a musical newspaper game. In church we sang ‘Our God is a great big God’ and ‘My Lighthouse’. We thought about where we see God’s light in the world and said a thank you prayer.

At tea time we ate lots of different coloured food and the parents had a hot drink.
