Messy Church is a fresh expression of church, very informal and we regard it as an opportunity to invite members of our local community to come and spend some time enjoying activities including crafts, games and a Celebration Time which includes singing and short bible story relative to the theme of the afternoon. This is followed by sharing some food together.

Messy Church is for all the family. Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas, brothers and sisters;

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Sessions are from 3 pm to 5 pm.

(There is no charge for Messy Church although donations towards the cost of sessions are welcome).

Easter Messy Church

On the afternoon of 19th April, 9 children and their parents enjoyed an afternoon of crafts and worship at Messy Church. We learnt about the Easter Story, through making, play and the Bible Society Book: ‘It’s going to be fine! The children made spring Easter bonnets, to remind them of the new life Easter brings. We used lolly sticks and green paper to make palm leaves and learnt about Palm Sunday. The children enjoyed the messy craft of foot painting, then hand painting. Their parents washed their feet and we learnt about the time Jesus washed the disciples feet. They made a mini Easter garden each, with a cross and tombstone. They put glitter and sequins in a bottle of water, this reminded us of the evening in the garden of Gethsemane when Jesus prayed. They drew round their hands, decorated them and wrote on the fingers 5 things they could do to help at home. Just as God helps us, He asks us to help others. Buried in the sand were objects and pictures to do with the Easter story. After an Easter egg hunt in the church, the children enjoyed some worship time. We danced to some songs and joined in with the actions to the Easter rhyme: It’s going to be fine. We all enjoyed a party tea, provided by Irene. We just had time at the end for a game of musical statues, with an Easter story theme! Everyone enjoyed themselves and it was great to see the children so enthusiastic and involved.
