Messy Church
Messy Church in February was all about light and love. We learned about Jesus being the light of the world and how we can reflect that light into our lives and communities. There were lots of activities, candle making, heart-shaped biscuit creations (it was Valentine’s Day!) even Rev Al received an anonymous card! There was some excellent singing and dancing and the recreation of the Candlemas story by Erin, Alexis and Caitlin was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who came along, and we look forward to seeing you on the 14th of March in the Winchelsea Centre at 2pm. (Photos of the day are on the boards at All Saints and the Winchelsea Centre).
