Messy Church is a fresh expression of church, where children, parents, carers, grandparents and extended family meet once a month (on the fourth Thursday) for a mid-week, after school service that encourages children to be themselves.

When they arrive, everyone is welcomed with a drink and a snack and given some time to unwind and catch up with each other.  Craft time is next, with several tables of crafts set up around the church for children (and adults!) to have a go at making things related to that service's theme.

At the most recent Messy Church the theme was Jesus is the Light of the World, and children did glass painting, made paper lanterns, designed their own "stained glass" windows with tissue paper and created sparkling dough craft ornaments.

The craft time is followed by some singing and a brief talk about the theme. The evening finishes with everyone sitting down to a meal together.  The next Messy Church service will be Thursday, November 26 at 3:30 pm. All are welcome.
