ST PETER & ST PAUL CHURCH HARLINGTON

Messy Church is a church for adults and children to enjoy together. It's all-age. It's fun. Its aim is to introduce Jesus, to give an opportunity to encounter him and to grow closer to him. It usually includes some creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a celebration time which might involve story, prayer, song, games and similar; a meal together. Its values are those of hospitality, creativity and celebration. It models and promotes good ways of growing as a family: a nuclear family, an extended family and a global and local church family. The first one started in Hampshire in 2004 and the idea has spread so that there are now many Messy Churches.
