Welcome to a place of celebration and creativity!! Here conversation and laughter fill the air, and food, fun and faith are shared. Messy Church is where all ages come together to discover Jesus at work amongst us.
Our July Messy Church was also a big part of our Church Anniversary weekend celebrations! There was plenty of time to think about how we can really share all that Jesus means to us. We explored this with lots of energy - we were WHOLEHEARTED!!
Being fruitful - we made our own fruit kebabs. This was fun and messy (of course!) Jesus is God's amazing gift of LOVE to us all. We just want to share that in all we say and do. By sharing what God means to us, we are being fruitful.
Building church Although we tried making a church from plastic play bricks, we were reminded that the church of God isn't about a building,- it is all about people sharing God's love in action!
Prayers for our Community Some activities found us writing prayers of hope for our community. Pictures of local buildings and places to go prompted us to think about the many people that live and work in this area of York. We shared prayers of hope for everyone.
Prayers for the World. We were able to put heart stickers on a large earth ball with prayers for peace - for kindness and for respect of ALL people in ALL countries around the world.
Telling our story There was a lot of fun telling stories like Jesus did with the help of a very large hand puppet that sat on our laps
