Messy Church
What is Messy Church?
Messy Church is part of the ‘Fresh Expression of Church’ that is developing in the UK and we are very pleased to be participating in it. The idea of Messy Church is to provide a more informal, family and community based idea of Church that would appeal to people who have little connection with formal church structures, or who are just keen to try something different.
Recent Messy Church themes:
October Messy Church saw us making marzipan fruit and eating baked potatoes in accordance with the theme of 'Fruit of the Spirit'. Doug showed us how we can find out which fruit has the most acid and Jerome talked about self control. We all had great fun.
November's Messy Church was all about forgiveness and reconciliation and we had a play (script and some cast from the recent Remembrance Week Graeme High assembly run), maths and multiplication and painting of stones.
My View of Messy Church:
“Church is an incredible institution – I think it is a bit like heaven will be... a place where ALL are welcome. We should not discriminate between old and young, able and infirm, but THE WHOLE FAMILY OF GOD should participate with enthusiasm and excitement. Messy Church is an opportunity to do this – we celebrate together with a meal and time to chat, Praise band led singing, drama, craftwork and games, prayers, Bible readings, talks and a science bit. It may not be what you are used to…….. but it is a great way to explore being part of God’s family!” Tracey
Themed worship, with games, crafts, food, music, prayer
** Fun for the whole family **
