What is Messy Church?

Messy Church is held in church and the chapter house (hall to side of church) on a Saturday afternoon from 3:30-5:30. 
We spend the first hour doing craft and activities based on a theme.  This year we are exploring Heroes of the Bible. 
At 4:30 we gather in the church for a very gentle 20-30 minutes of singing, story, exploration, reflection and more singing. 
We then say grace together before heading into the chapter house for a hot meal (pasta, hot dogs, jacket poatatoes, that sort of thing... ) normally just before 5.  

One of the activities during the first hour is making a pudding so the children tend to eat that after their hot food, although some can't wait that long!

Messy Church is a wonderful introduction to the Christian faith for those who do not belong to a church but want to understand more of who God is and what the Bible actually says.  It is a great way to engage in messy play with your children (without the clear up afterwards) and to meet other parents.
