First Sunday of the Month 
11:30 am - 12:45 pm
Prayers, Scripture, Arts & Crafts.  A kid friendly lunch too.

Messy Church is a once-monthly time for families to enjoy being together, making things
together, eating together, praying together, and celebrating God together through his Word.
It’s different from a children’s activity because it’s an event for children and their parents,
grandparents or caretakers together, and it’s more than just a play time because of the
element of worship that underpins it all.
With Messy Church, we are trying to be a worshiping community of all ages, centered on
Christ, showing Christian hospitality—giving people a chance to express their creativity, to sit
down together to eat a meal, and to have fun within a church context.
Our principles, in no particular order, are
• To provide an opportunity for people of all ages to worship together.
• To help people of all ages feel that they belong in church and to each other.
• To help people have fun together.
• To give people a chance to express their God-given creativity.
• To invite people into an experience of Christian community.
• To introduce people to Jesus through hospitality, friendship, stories, and worship.
