Families are invited to come and spend some time enjoying activities including crafts, play and a Celebration Time which includes singing and a short Bible story. There will be hot drinks for the adults and a snack time for the children. Messy Church is for all the family. Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas, brothers and sisters. It suits ages 0-11 and children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the session.
May Messy Church
On a very hot day during May half term, 10 children came to cool off in the Wesley Hall and explore the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den.
We had a time of free play, for children to play as they do at P&T and for parents to have a cup of tea! There was a water tray to help children cool down.
There was a sensory tray with shredded wheat and cereal. The children played with toy animals in the tray, touched the cereal and practised scooping it up
.
We had a cardboard lion with an open mouth and some children scooped up some cereal with a spoon and fed it to the lion. In the ball pit, there were several little lion pictures for children to discover.
The children made their own lion masks using paint and a paper plate. They also made crowns to represent the king in the story.
We then joined together on the carpet to sing Great Big God. We read the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den with sound effects, there was lots of roaring!
We used battery tea lights to reflect on the story. We thought about how God looks after us when we feel scared.
We finished the session with a snack time of fruit and a biscuit. The children went home with a storybook and their own little cuddly animal.
Watch this space for details of our next Messy Church in August.
