Here’s the programme for the rest of June, July & August 2018.
Messy Church – Saturday 2nd June
Did you know that the Bank Holiday we’ve just enjoyed was originally there to celebrate Pentecost ?
In years gone by, this Church celebration was also known as Whitsun (White Sunday) – hence the alternative name of the Bank Holiday – Whit Monday.
But what’s Pentecost, and why is it so important as to warrant a Bank Holiday ? And why is it considered by many to be the Church’s Birthday ?
Why not come along to Messy Church this Saturday to find out what it’s all about, and how we feel the event it celebrates gives us “God’s Power to Change” !
We’ll be exploring the theme through Fun, Faith and Food with our usual mixture of Craft, Stories and Songs all followed up by a big Birthday Party Tea !
We’d love to see you at 3:30pm on Saturday June 2nd at St Catherine’s.
