Messy Church – 25th March

Messy Farm TripMessy Church is for all ages of children, particularly up to about age 10… and for all the family. So children, bring your parents, grandparents or carers and we will enjoy a range of activities, have tea and a short worship time singing action songs. This is church and it is fun! We are holding Messy Church on Saturday afternoons so that Mum and Dad, if working in the week, can come too. All are welcome!

It was good to see over twenty children plus their families at the February Messy Church when we learned something about Who is Jesus?  There were lots of painting and sticking activities, biscuits to ice, sand play and a dressing up, pretend play First Aid corner, plus the usual toys. Rick led our worship session when we acted out the story of Zaccheus, then we were ready for our tea of sausages, jacket potatoes and pasta, cake and fruit. A good way to round off the half term week!

We hope to see you at our next Messy Church event which will be at Southfields Farm, Coleshill on Sunday, March 25th This is a special activity for March as we cannot have the church premises on our usual Saturday.

We have decided not to ask people to register in advance, as often it can be a last-minute decision. Please feel able to bring friends and family, or come along and make new friends. We look forward to seeing you then. See you then!

You are also very welcome at our regular Sunday services, where children are welcome in the service but there is also provision for children in classes and a crèche.
