Messy Church events April-July 2011

A new time for Messy Church @ JMC - monthly on Wednesdays, 3.30-5.45pm. Kids came after school for some fun learning about Jesus and doing some great crafting fun, with stories, singing and a hot healthy meal.

We met on 6 April, 4 May, 8 June and 6 July 2011. Themes included Creation, Pentecost, Noah's Ark and the Seaside. Here are some photos:

Messy Church, 26 March 2011

The Theme was 'Love your Neighbour'

As part of the Jesmond Community Festival we held a Messy Church on 26 March. The activities included making collage pictures of friends to show how much you cared for them; making friendship chains; making sandals, bandanas and (robber) masks. We used the parable of the Good Samaritan and we acted out the story, with the kids, before our scrumptious lunch!!
