You never know how far reaching your ministry can be… it is amazing how God uses what we do to reach way beyond our expectations.

Messy Church is just such a ministry, we realise that our ministry goes beyond just the families that come along to our Messy events… who know who the children will speak to about what they got up to at Messy Church and how those stories can be a wonderful vehicle for God’s message of hope.

 

 A Messy Good News Story from Repton

 “Last Sunday one of the new faces that popped in to join our morning service stayed behind to join us for coffee and she told us she was a teaching assistant at our local primary school. I told her that I was a retired primary teacher myself but now I was only involved in something called Messy Church.

She said that she knows about that because children are always telling
her about things that they had learned at Messy Church
 and she was
impressed.

I showed her the Messy display board, that I complete each month, and suggested she might like to come and see what we do next time. I pray that we see her again at a morning service and hopefully maybe as a Messy supporter.”
