Messy Church

Another great Messy Church tonight. Big thanks to all who came and to the fantastic helpers! On the menu tonight was bangers, beans and mash, followed by the serious business of making "thank-you" crosses, personalised prayer cards (inspired by some lights not too dis-similar to the one above...), stained glass window pictures, and last but by no means least, a treasure trail in darkness, with only a head torch to light the way (oh, and a chocolatey treasure at the end..).

We thought about Jesus's words - "I am the light of the world, if you follow me you won't be in darkness" - and how we can follow Jesus in many different ways every day.

A bit of singing and dancing rounded off the night. Keep your eyes peeled for the date of the next event, hope to see you there!

Remembrance Day

Once again the Sunday Squad created a fantastic frieze for Remembrance Day. We re-used the wonderful large poppies that were made last year, each bearing the names of the countries where soldiers have lost their lives in conflicts since World War I. Everyone lit a candle in memory of those who died, and thought about the conflicts that have gone previously and continue across the world today.

Messy Church - 26th October

Since it was Halloween this month, the theme for October's messy church was All-Hallows-Eve. After a tasty supper the children enjoyed a range of activities relating to All Saints Day including making their own "saint-in-training" badges, creating a fabulous string of saintly bunting (decorated with their own personal heros) and making super-sparkly lanterns. A bit of tasty fun was had dooking for apples and playing the hula-hoop game - the aim was to eat as many hula-hoops from the string as possible without using hands!

Everyone had a great time. Thanks to all who helped out with the activities, and preparing the food. We couldn't have done it without you. Looking forward to seeing you all next month. Keep your eye's peeled for the date, and tell your friends - the more the merrier!
