What a great time was had by all at "Psalm 23" Messy Church on 17th March 2012. It may have been damp outside, the the atmosphere inside was warming and welcoming.
The theme was based around the well known Psalm, number 23 which describes God as a Shepherd and how he cares for us. The activities reflected the images from the Psalm. The pictures show what happened.
 |
| We started by gathering together in the worship area with tea, coffee or squash and activities for the children, young people and the young at heart. |
 |
| Playing with Lego is a great favourite. Not sure if the Mars Rover was made again. |
 |
| Messy Church is totally free. to help fund the event, a cake stall was opened. Not the best idea for those watching their weight! |
After the explanation of the activities and how they reminds us of the Psalm, it was out the the Elise Finch Hall and newly refurbished kitchen for the min activities.
 |
| A chance to build a marble run to remind us that God guides us in our daily paths. |
 |
| Making your own fruit drinks to remind us that God gives us our daily needs |
 |
| Water play, for God guides us y the still waters. (Most of the water was kept in the paddling pools, but some of the younger ones got a bit wet!) |
 |
| "Hobby Sheep" |
 |
| Making a card to reminds us the being in God's house is a way of spending time with him |
 |
| One of the members of the tech crew (the other is taking the picture) printing out photos of people to put on the front of their card. |
 |
| Pizza (don't worry, no sheep meat was used). Reminding us that God provides for us. |
 |
| Growing mustard and cress to create a green pasture |
As it was the day before Mother's Day, the opportunity to make a small posies for Mums was also given
