Messy Church is our after-school activity for children aged 3+ and their parents / grandparents / carers with lots of crafts, songs and food! It offers both children and adults the opportunity to meet up with friends and a chance to relax and be creative together
We start with coffee, squash & cake. Then there are lots of arts, crafts and games. Next a short service with stories, songs and prayers followed by a hot meal.
One theme was Jesus' saying 'I am the true vine' so the crafts featured grapes in a big way: making grapes, dipping grapes, drawing grapes, painting grapes (with feet dipped in purple paint) and, of course, eating grapes. The children and their parents / carers finished with vine-themed worship and a great meal together.
Messy Church is for everyone - young and old alike. It is suitable for children aged 3 upwards; younger siblings are welcome. If you are a child, you will need to bring an adult with you.
