SHIRLEY PARISH
KNOWING CHRIST, MAKING HIM KNOWN
Welcome to our Messy Church page
Maybe you're wondering what Messy Church is all about?
Please click here to find out more.....
Our next Messy Church is on Saturday 21st December, 10-11:30am
in St James Church, B90 2AX.
And no prizes for guessing what we'll be thinking about and celebrating!
At November Messy Church we thought about St Paul – who travelled to lots of places, telling lots of people about Jesus, and sharing God’s love for them. He had loads of adventures, so we did Splash Light painting; made megaphones, friendship chains, Roman helmets and flip-flop sandals (he did a lot of walking!); decorated heart biscuits, and crafted arrow crosses, signposts and postcards. And did Lego. And ate toast.
And then we had a joyful Celebration to wrap it all together at the end.
It was fab!
So get these two December dates on to your Family Calendar
Saturday 21st December 10am: Christmas Messy Church
Christmas Eve 4pm: Wise Men (and Women) @ the Crib.
Dress up; dress down; or come as you are - to our crazily joyful mix of Messy Church, Crib Service and Christmas chaos.
Hope to see you soon!
Up and coming Messy Church dates
Saturday 21st December
Get them on the family calendar, and we look forward to seeing you.
What on earth is Messy Church???
Most people think of 'church' as people sitting quietly in rows, saying quiet prayers and listening to someone talking for quite a long time.
And church services can be like that...
but they don't have to be.
People can come together to enjoy being with God in all sorts of ways.
The important things are that
we are together
we are listening to God
we are learning more about God
whoever we are, and whether or not we like sitting quietly in rows and all that.
Messy Church
gives familes of all ages, shapes and compositions the chance to
enjoy crafts and other activities
take part in some simple worship
and to have breakfast together.
It's great for those of us who think with our hands
and don't much like sitting still.
It meets once a month on Saturday mornings*
10 - 11:30am
in St James' Church
(but not in the pews!)
Church Road
Shirley
B90 2AX
