This was our sixth messy church and the theme for this month was not to worry for God takes care of us. Everyone who came enjoyed the activities especially making hats and garments from junk .Some had fun making a bird feeder mixing lard ,cheese,bird seed and raisins together. Another activity was making a grass head,filling a pop sock with some grass seed and then sawdust to take home and water and watch the grass grow to make hair,after an hour of activities we all came together for a short celebration where some of the children had bubble wands and made bubbles Mike spoke about how as the bubbles fly away we can give God our worries and he will help us,then we all had a meal of hot-dogs coleslaw and then strawberries and shortcake a good time was had by all.

 

Messy February

At Messy Church yesterday we explored the meaning and significance of The Last Supper. We painted our own place mats (picture above), squished our own grape juice, created and decorated our own goblets and constructed a huge wooden door frame which was used as part of the teaching during the Celebration.

Our messy volunteers did a fantastic job once again! We had a total of 20 people (including volunteers).

Our next Messy Church is on 19th March 2016 where we will be learning all about Easter! It is going to be a lot of fun for the whole family - and of course its going to be MESSY! You are very welsome to join us. Find our more at www.messywisbech.org.uk

Messy Church Trial

We had a great turn out for our Messy Church Trial on Sunday. The theme was 'Telling People About Jesus' - which is exactly what we want Messy Church to do! Everyone engaged with the all-age activities that included: biscuity traffic lights; gospel catapults; trinity pyramids; magnetic trains and many more. The 'Celebration' was good fun and everyone enjoyed the short skit performed by some of our very capable actors! We then all enjoyed a delicious meal of spaghetti bolognese followed by some yummy Eaton Mess for dessert.

We are hoping that Messy Church will launch officially in January 2016 on a Saturday afternoon/early evening. Keep visiting our website for details.

  

Dedication of Katrina

Last Sunday saw a joyous celebration where the church family as well as relatives of Matt and Verity came together to give thanks for the life of Katrina and to dedicate her to God. Matt and Verity made some promises as declared that they would bring Katrina up in a home that will help her to get to know God. The church and relatives also promised to support them in their work and to help Katrina along her journey of discovering who Jesus is.

The service was followed by a wonderful bring-and-share meal.
