Messy Church
AN EXPLANATION OF ‘MESSY CHURCH’
The term ‘Messy Church’ has been used for a number of years but what does it mean? In essence, it’s a modern way to communicate the Christian faith to families who might not feel inclined to come to a church service but have an interest in what we have to say. In Ness Bank it’s a highly organised operation planned in advance, and led by a team of volunteers. A lunch is provided for all attending and the chosen topic is developed using drama, music, story and a wide range of active games and crafts to capture the children’s interests. We aim to have four events in a year – at Christmas, Easter, summer with a theme and one in October.

Messy Church Christmas Party
We’re having a Christmas party at Messy Church on Sunday 15th December! This is a novel adventure and we hope the informality of it will attract even more families. We’re beginning to build on our church resources - Mother & Toddlers, Sunday School, Girls Brigade, Boys Brigade and grandparents who brought grandchildren. The flier below will be available in the Order of Service on 8th December.
Can you help once more by spreading the word about this event?
