Next Session - March 26th - 4pm-6pm
What is Messy Church?
Messy Church is our new monthly service at St Thomas's. It is especially suited to families with primary school aged children, but is open for all! Adults and children enjoy the activities together, and there will be activities suitable babies, toddlers and older children as well.
Messy Church uses hands-on activities to explore Bible stories, to reflect a God of creativity and to give people a chance to play together. It reflects a God of joy who wants his people to have life in all its fullness.
Messy Church is part of The Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF), a Registered Charity. www.brf.org.uk

Do I need to tell you we're coming?
You can just turn up on the day. If you know you're planning on coming though, it would be helpful for us to get an idea of numbers to make sure we have enough food, allow for special dietary requirements, and just to help us generally plan the session. If anyone in your group has any accessibility requirements, you can let us know too so we can make sure the crafts are accessible to all. You can register your interest by clicking the button below.
Can I leave my children and pick them up later?
Unfortunately not. Messy Church is designed for adults and children to take part in together, so you will need to stay with anyone under 18.
