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 16th November, 10-11:30am
in St James Church, B90 2AX.
As soon as one Messy Church is over we start plotting and planning for the next one. So please keep checking back here for updates....
At October Messy Church we thought about God’s Story as told in the Bible. We did stuff with sand and stars, clay jars (ooh, that rhymes!), a fancy coat and a great big boat (so does that!!), resurrection rolls, walking on water, a trip to the Mediterranean and a very special prayer. (Ok, those don’t rhyme. And it was less a trip to the Med and more a map, but you get the picture.)
Plus drinks and lots of toast with our favourite toppings to help us to keep the energy levels up.
And then we thought about how God’s story can become our story, as one of our young people was baptised in our Celebration.
It was fab!
Hope to see you next time!
Up and coming Messy Church dates

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
