Messy Church in June

Messy Church met in Chestnut Street School in June where we heard the story of Zacchaeus climbing a tree to see Jesus. We shared some prayers and songs together then went to ‘get messy’! There was a choice of craft activities about various characters in the Bible - painting, colouring, cutting, and sticking. We compiled a mural with our artwork – it’s displayed in Church , have a look at it. Then, as always, the children enjoyed eating together. Why not join us next time on Saturday 12th July 1.45pm for a 2pm start at the Winchelsea Centre Ruskington. Please note that we have moved Messy Church from the first Saturday of the month to the second Saturday of the month. We hope to see you there.
