Messy Church : Jesus goes Backpacking – Saturday 6th July

1 Comment

This month’s Messy Church is exploring our Holiday Club theme of Backpacking !

At this year’s Holiday Club, we will be thinking about travelling around Europe backpacking.  Jesus also travelled all around the counties near where he lived – although we don’t think he had a rucksack !

At Messy Church this Saturday, through our usual fun mix of crafts, activities, songs & a story, we’ll be finding out some of what Jesus got up to and why he travelled so much.

Hope to see you on Saturday 6th July at 3:30pm.  Bring a friend !

P.S.  Our Holiday Club takes place in August.  Click here for more details.

New Service – 11am

Leave a comment

We’re please to announce our new, informal service for the whole family, from Sunday 9th June at 11am.

As previously announced, the congregation from Cornwell Community Church are joining us to start this new service.

It’ll be the same time as Cornwell (11.00 am), with the same style of service (very informal), the same group of people (all ages, with several young people in our music group), the same great music and the same refreshments (fresh coffee and cakes).

As before we aim to make our service accessible for everyone and we are accepting and understanding of people with special needs.

We hope to see you there !
