When you arrive, you will be warmly welcomed and introduced to a selection of fun and creative themed activities to be involved in from 4pm – 5pm, or you may simply choose to enjoy connecting with others. After 5pm a short message is shared on our theme for the day, through puppets/skits/bible stories/testimonies etc. At 5.30pm we enjoy ‘food time’ together, with plenty of lively conversation whilst watching photos on the big screen that were taken throughout Messy Church. 6pm is home time!
