Messy Church

 
Season Poster Summer 2024
Welcome!  We have a thriving Messy Church at Sheldon Road where we meet together every 2nd Sunday of the Month [4 - 6 pm] for a fun and activity packed time of worship with God. 

For the 2024 Spring/Summer season we have an exciting programme to cover this period up until the summer school holidays  - see below.  


We also have a number of Messy Church videos available, where we continued meeting online during Covid times - view them.

More about Messy Church

Not sure what Messy Church is?  Messy Church is a church experience for all ages who may, or may not, have any experience of church. Messy Church welcomes and provides for all ages. It includes a relaxed welcome zone where people gather with refreshments and connect with each other. After a greeting and explanation a story teller retells a Bible story  and then everyone is invited to take part in and enjoy the various crafts, activities and and games all related to the story. A short interactive celebration time of song and prayer and reflection follows the activity time. Finally, we share  a meal together. 

If you would like to know more then you can find out everything you need to know by accessing the Messy Church organisation's own website.  Also, whilst we love having you join us in our own Messy Church worship, there are plenty of other activities that you can do at home.  Visit the Messy Church organisation's website for ideas.
