Messy Church Christmas Event: A Festive Celebration for Primary-Aged Children
Join us for a joyful and creative Messy Church Christmas, a family-friendly event packed with hands-on activities, storytelling, and celebration! This special event is designed for primary-aged children and their families to explore the true meaning of Christmas in a fun, informal atmosphere.
Highlights of the Event:

🎨 Christmas Crafts: Get messy with festive craft stations where kids can make Christmas decorations, cards, and nativity-themed keepsakes to take home.
🎵 Seasonal Songs and Stories: Enjoy interactive storytelling that brings the Nativity story to life, alongside lively Christmas carols the whole family can sing along to.
🍪 Festive Treats: Share some seasonal refreshments, including cookies, mince pies, and hot chocolate, to keep everyone warm and cheerful.
✨ Family Worship: Gather together for a short, family-friendly worship time, where we light our Christingles and experience the magic of the season in a beautiful candlelit moment.
