KNOWING CHRIST, MAKING HIM KNOWN
Welcome to our Messy Church page

​
Our next Messy Church will be on
Saturday 17th May, 10am in St James.
​​
At our Easter Messy Church we made story wheels, cockerels, clay crosses and ScratchArt crosses, pop-up Easter Chicks, Easter nests and even an amazing “He Is Risen!” extravaganza! (It’s remarkable what you can do with a paper plate if you put your mind to it!)
And we had an Easter Egg Hunt - and lots of drinks and toast.
All brought together in a joyful – and noisy – Celebration at the end.
We're already plotting and planning for our next Messy Church on Saturday 17th May, 10am in St James, so keep checking back here for updates!​​
When is Messy Church?
Messy Church meets on the third Saturday of each month.

Get them on your Family Calendar so you don't miss out!

See you then!​
What on earth is Messy Church???
​
Most people think of 'church' as people sitting quietly in rows, saying quiet prayers and listening to someone talking for quite a long time.
And church services can be like that...
but they don't have to be.
​
People can come together to enjoy being with God in all sorts of ways.
The important things are that
we are together
we are listening to God
we are learning more about God
whoever we are, and whether or not we like sitting quietly in rows and all that.
​
Messy Church
gives familes of all ages, shapes and compositions the chance to
enjoy crafts and other activities
take part in some simple worship
and to have breakfast together.
​
It's great for those of us who think with our hands
and don't much like sitting still.
​
It meets once a month on Saturday mornings*
10 - 11:30am
in St James' Church
(but not in the pews!)
