Messy Church

Thursday November 30th
St Thomas’ Church Hall 3.30-5pm

We’ve got all sorts planned

Messy Church is really relaxed and fun. You walk around the different activity tables choosing which you would like to join in with. Someone will explain what you need to do and the grownup who is with you will give you a hand if you need it (all under 11s need an adult with them).

At 4.30 we all get together for our celebration time and then we have chicken wraps at 4.45 followed by Christmas muffins you will have decorated yourself earlier!

Come along and find out more about how all these activities point us to Jesus at Christmas time.

If you want to know more (or you have special dietary needs) then please contact Sue (07877 704645 / sue@stthomasandstlukesch.apps-1and1.net)
