Messy Church : A New Start – Saturday 6th January
Christmas is over, the children are back at school and life is ‘back to normal’ after the long break. However, for many people there is still a feeling of ‘A New Start’ in the air.
We’ll be exploring that feeling at Messy Church this Saturday where we’ll be looking at the story of Noah and the new start which those events brought.
To help the story, we encourage young and old alike to bring along a soft toy animal !
We hope to see you at St Catherine’s, on Saturday 6th January, starting at 3:30pm.
