messy  Church

Meeting:  First Sunday of every month, from 4-6 pm. 
Picture
Church, but not as you know it

An event for participants of all ages but particularly appropriate for young families. 
Finding faith in fun activities, crafts, and games.
Activities bring the Bible to life & lead us into Communion
We end with a home-cooked meal with new & old friends.
Celebrating God’s Spirit of Love.

Surprised by Love:  We gather for Messy Church on Palm Sunday from 4-6pm when crafts, activities and games will educate all ages about the last week of Jesus' life. If you are interested in leading an activity station, the outline of our Messy Church worship is HERE. In one activity, we'll build the gateway into Jerusalem through which Jesus rode on a donkey, so please bring your cardboard boxes (roughly the size of a microwave oven) to church in the next two weeks.

A Sample of Activities from Other Sessions

Breath of life

We can’t see our breath, but it makes the paper come alive and move.
We can’t see the breath of God — the Holy Spirit — but it made the followers of Jesus come alive with courage and hope and they spread God’s Spirit of love all over the world. Wind and flames of fire are signs of the Holy Spirit.

Japanese Origami Peace Dove
In the Bible, the Holy Spirit sometimes comes in the form of a dove, the symbol of peace. Whatever form it takes — as a dove or as wind and fire — God’s Spirit connects us together and amazing things can happen. God’s Spirit says to us, “Peace be with you.” And we say to one another, “Peace be with you.”

Wind chime
God made every person unique and beautiful like each line of your wind chime. When God’s Spirit of love blows, the lines make a beautiful sound together. We are better together.
