Messy Church
Messy Saints at All Saints Church, Sapcote
All Saints Messy Church started on the first Sunday in March 2014 and we have now been running for about 4 years! We usually meet on the first Sunday of the month at 4 pm for ten months of the year. However, we do have a rest in January and August each year. Our sessions start with a range of craft activities linked to a bible based theme. We aim to provide a selection of activities and challenges for all ages. We even have a baby corner with toys suitable for younger children (and soft chairs and refreshments for parents to enjoy time together). Following the activity time, we move into a short time of worship and then we go across into the hall for tea!
The dates and themes for 2018 are
March 4th - Love rules (Martha’s story)
March 31st (Saturday 10.15 for 10.30)- Easter Bonnet parade (A joint Messy Church with Sapcote Methodists)
