Messy Church
Messy Church is the name given to a particular type of Church Service. Its slogan is:
"Church but not as you know it!"
We normally hold this type of Service on the SECOND Saturday of every month from 4pm to 6pm. It is geared towards families with children. It is a very free and open time and includes craft, stories, songs, food (a light afternoon tea) and drinks.
Our next Messy Church is on Saturday 9th November 2024 4pm
History of Messy Church:
Messy Church began as a 'fresh expression of church' in 2004 in the parish of Cowplain, near Portsmouth, England, and by February 2019 there were more than 2,800 Messy Churches registered in England. In 2015 Messy Church had spread from the UK to other European countries and to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, and South America. It is supported and resourced by the Bible Reading Fellowship.
