TIME to get messy again with Messy Church at the Warwick Uniting Church on Friday 10 June, from 5pm to 7.30pm.
So what is Messy Church?
Sometimes it’s quite messy – always a bit noisy – with people chatting and craft being created by young and old.
In a world that is busy and always in a rush, Messy Church is a time to chill – chat, have fun, eat a light meal (that someone else has cooked) with other young families and generally let kids explore a faith topic in a very informal atmosphere.
The evening starts at 5pm with games, sharing a meal at 5.30pm then work on crafts from 6pm to 7pm. Then paticipants head into the church for a short lesson – then back to the hall for dessert and home by 7.30pm.
At the Uniting Church they hold Messy Church on the second Friday of the month – twice a school term. The theme for the next Messy Church on 10 June is – Priorities – Putting God first.
The previous Messy Church in May was based on the theme of Pentecost – when the Holy Spirit descended on the people and empowered them to spread the message of God’s word throughout the world.
Symbolised with a variety of wind chimes, doves, and fire, maybe the simple joy of lighting each other’s sparklers – spreading God’s message from one to each other – was one of the highlights.
All are welcome to join, families – singles, young and old. For more information contact the church office on 4661 1080 or speak to someone at the Lighthouse.
