Once a month in St Ebba's young people enjoy our MESSY CHURCH (Dates vary please get in touch for the next date)
Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It's primarily for people who don't already belong to another form of church.
It meets once a month in ST Ebba's at 11:00 while the main service is on.
It typically includes a welcome, a short creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; All elements are for, children.
It's fun.
It promotes good ways of growing as a family: a nuclear family, an extended family, and a global and local church family. Its aim is to introduce Jesus, to give an opportunity to encounter him and to grow closer to him.
Messy Church is an all-age fresh expression of church that offers counter-cultural transformation of family life through families coming together to be, to make, to eat and to celebrate God.

11.00am. Services currently held alternately between St Ebba's Ebchester and Christ Church Hamsterley.
