Messy Church : After Show Party – Saturday 2nd September

August 30, 2017Leave a comment

After a break in August for our Showstoppers Holiday Club, Messy Church returns on the first Saturday of each month – so the next is this coming Saturday 2nd September.

Whether or not you came along to any part of our week long holiday club, everyone is invited to the after show party.

Jesus liked a party, and we’ll be looking at a story he told about a great big party.

We’ll provide the party food, so why not bring the whole family to experience Fun, Faith & Food at St Catherine’s at 3:30pm on Saturday 2nd September.

Please also find below our planned Messy Dates for the next school year.

Not heard of SHOWSTOPPERS ? Then read on …

SHOWSTOPPERS is the theme of this year’s week long holiday club at St Catherine’s. It’s for children aged 5 – 11 and lasts 2 hours each morning.

Every morning, through fun, games, video, stories, songs, drama and craft; we’ll be looking at a well known story from the Bible that helps us understand God’s plans for us and his creation. At the end of each morning, different groups of children have the chance to be SHOWSTOPPERS as they perform a drama or song for parents.

Get ready to lift the curtain on the greatest show on earth – God’s great plan for salvation!
