Messy Church is all about welcoming families of all ages into a creative space, with crafts and reflective activities, food and friendship, and short acts of worship. Here, in this benefice, through the church year, normally, we host a number of Messy Church celebrations.
We had a brilliant Messy Church gathering at Messy Christingles on Christmas Eve - 4pm at Overstone Church. The church was full of children and adults taking part in our Christmas craft and prayer activities, joining in with the telling of the Christmas Story, and singing Away in a Manger whilst holding our lit Christingles. Every child took home a Christingle goody bag. It was a lovely way to start our Christmas celebrations.
We also had an amazing gathering on Good Friday for Messy Easter. We explored the story of Holy Week and Easter and the gift of new life through our craft and prayer activities, by listening to the Easter story, and by enjoying our Easter snacks. We finished with an Easter egg hunt and took home a bag full of goodies.
Our next gathering is...
