Messy Church

Messy Church is an informal version of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It's ideal for people who don't already belong to another form of church or who are looking for the fun and friendship that is provided by Messy Church. It meets at a time (and sometimes in a place) that suits people who lead busy lives but are looking for a spiritual aspect to their lives. Messy Church, not just because some of the crafts involve paint and glitter but more because our lives and experiences are not tidy and orderly but mostly messy.

Messy Church typically includes a welcome, a creative time to explore the biblical theme of the session, a celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables. All elements of the session are planned to include people of all ages and backgrounds; adults and children.
