Messy Church
Messy Church:
- is a way of being church for families and children involving fun
- is found across the world
- values are about being Christ-centred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration
The objectives of Messy Church are:
- To create an opportunity for all ages to worship together
- To help people of all ages feel they belong in church and to each other
- To help people have fun together
- To give people a chance to express their God-given creativity
- To invite people into an experience of Christian community
- To introduce people to Jesus through hospitality, friendship, stories and worship
- Affirmation of all skills and gifts and of all people who feel they have something to offer – for the whole church to be involved with outreach
We meet on Special Occasions and the programme is something like this:
- 3pm register, meet and mingle
- 3.30 messy crafts
- 4.30 worship together
- 4.45 we eat together
- 5.15 go home
It’s a lot of fun, very informal, and it’s good to see families together enjoying themselves. To check the dates see the Activities Calendar.
To date, our meetings have included:
- ‘God’s family and Our family’ – Abraham
- ‘I am the true vine’
- ‘Light of the World’
- 'Creation'
- 'A new start'
- We thought about ‘The Good Shepherd’
- In December we had a Christmas celebration
We’ve had a lot of fun
and we’ve met some new people who we hope have enjoyed their time with us and will come again.
It is providing us with a very good vehicle to meet people from our community but not necessarily worshipping with us on a Sunday morning.
