Messy Church
What is Messy Church?
Messy Church began in April 2004 in an Anglican church near Portsmouth. It is a church for families who find it hard to go to church on a Sunday, and a typical session would include craft activities, a short celebration and a meal. It meets usually once a month at a time most suitable for a local area, either after school or at the weekend. Perhaps the most significant aspects are those of:
- welcoming the whole family together not just the children
- being a church not a club
- eating together.
There's a lot more information about Messy Church at their website, www.messychurch.org.uk.
At Llwynderw, our Messy Churches are held on the second Thursday of the month at Holy Cross (see our What's On page for more details). Take a look at our Messy Church photo gallery here…
