Children are back to school this week, and we're inviting children and parents back to St Nicholas Church for Family Worship and  Messy Church

Thanington Family Worship, first Sunday of the month, at 4pm.

Thanington Family Worship happens on the first Sunday of each month 4 - 5pm. It's a relaxed atmosphere, with contemporary worship music and some hands-on activities. We love to do life together and celebrate the highs and the lows through our prayers. We discuss with each other how the Bible relates to our lives today.

Our theme at Family Worship for the next few months is 'relationships'. We'll be looking for wisdom to guide us in our different relationships - with family, with friends, with ourselves, with that 'special someone', with our community, with our world, and with God. We'll learn from the BIble and from one another.

Family Worship is planned with parents and children in mind but is open to all. As with all our church services, there's no charge to come in but there is an opportunity to give to support the work of the church

Thanington Messy Church - third Sunday of the month at 4pm.

Messy Church happens on the third Sunday of each month and runs from 4 - 5:30pm. It's planned with families and primary aged children in mind but all are welcome.  Some of the older children help with the activities. 

For the first 40 minutes or so, there's a free choice of activities spread out around the church.  After that, we gather together at the front of the church for a short time - we praise God with a lively song or two; we share a bible story; and we pray. We finish by eating tea together.

All are welcome and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. There isn't a charge to come in but we welcome donations to help cover the costs.

We look forward to welcoming you to Messy Church, to Family Worship, or to both !
