CHURCH, but not as you know it!!
What is Messy Church?
Messy Church is held at St. Andrew Blackadder once a month on a Sunday afternoon from 4-6pm. It’s a form of church for children and adults and an opportunity to have fun together through creativity, activity, and celebration.
It’s relaxed, family fun and above all – MESSY!!
Messy Church is all-age event, families are encouraged to come together, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Those without children are very welcome too!
What happens at Messy Church?
Messy Church is two hours long. The first hour is spent doing crafts and activities together, based on a Christian theme. This is followed by a Celebration Time in the Church and then we share a meal together in the hall.
There is no cost, but donations are accepted. Free-from meal options are always available.

4th May 4-6pm. How Can I Pray?
When Jesus' friends saw the deep and close relationship he had with God, they longed for the same. "Teach us to pray" they implored him. From that one request came possibly the most famous prayer in history.
Our Father in heaven, Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive others.
Save us from the time of trial, deliver us from evil.
For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours. Now - and forever.
Come and join us in a range of crafts and activities (and yes, there will be a food craft!) to help us explore this prayer and make it our own.
We will then head up into church for a worship session using the crafts we have made, before eating together - Andersons yummy sausages and mash - and cake (of course)
We look forward to seeing you for our last Messy church event of the academic year.
