Wow! Our first "Messy Church" time was just wonderful, with almost 60 people having a great time painting pumpkins into globes, making pipe cleaner insects, fingerpainting a mural and trying various challenges.
Then we had a 6 foot diameter globe to play with outside and young kids and folks wishing they were kids too had a "ball" in the fall sunshine.
The worship time featured a marvellous reading of the Creation story. Tammy had the children - and their adults - engaged and excited as they learned about how God created our world.
We finished off with some singing, a grace and a great meal.
All in all, we think that it was a wonderful time of worship, fun and community building. Thanks to all who made it happen - and even more to the Spirit who was so evidently there!
You'll want to bring your young friends along and join us on October 25!
