Messy Church

Join us for Messy Church - the fun family celebration where food, fun, family and faith come together.  Bring the entire family.  The evening begins with a light meal at 6:15 p.m. followed by arts and crafts for the children, after which we transition into a brief celebration service with interactive songs, prayer, and story-telling.  We wrap up around 7:30 p.m.

The setting creates a worshipping community of all ages with a focus on making church fun, dare we say even irresistible, to kids.  It's called "Messy Church" because it's literally messy -- no Sunday best attire here and it's much less formal and more interactive than traditional Sunday church.  It may even reflect many of our own faith journeys -- messy at times with clarity every now and then.

Future dates and times:  Thursday, April 24, 2014, 6:15 pm - 7:30 pm and Thursday, June 26, 2014, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
