Messy Church Easter

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St James the Great
Church Lane Chapelthorpe Wakefield, WF4 3JG, United Kingdom

Church can be FUN really it can!

For children of all ages including adults and those young at heart. Come-along and hear the real story of Easter and why Christians celebrate this special event. Through various activities and stories from the Bible we will all learn something new. You might even find the answer to the question 'Why do we eat chocolate Easter eggs on Easter Sunday?'

This year we will also be having an Easter Egg Hunt as one of the activities in church. Please come and find the golden Easter Bunny otherwise it will mean our vicar Kevin will be eating all the eggs by himself.

At the end of the activities we will all sit around a table and have pizza and pop. Places need to be booked by emailing [email protected] giving the name and age of your children along with any food allergies, wherever possible we will attempt to provide alternatives.

The cost for each child is only £3.00, we look forward to seeing you.
