Messy Church
What is Messy Church?
At Portswood Church we love to have fun, and that is what Messy Church is all about!! About 5 times a year we have a Messy session in our building, with families from all over including our church, toddler group, local schools and surrounding community. Each session has a different theme, recently it has been the Environment, Easter and Light.
What happens?
We start with some free time where you can go round and try out all the craft activities, games, and sensory play areas. There is always a variety, and you can do as many things as you like! After that, we tidy up and have some singing and a short talk based on our theme. Then finally, the best part… we all get to sit down and have a hot meal together, including the grown-ups!
What else do I need to know?
Families of all shapes, sizes and ages are welcome, however the activities are aimed at children aged 4 to 11. The cost is £1.50 per child (aged 11 and under), adults and small babies are free.
Please contact us to find out when the next Messy Church will be.
Where's Christmas?
Underneath the busy and bright we find the gift of a child, sent from God. This Christmas we'll dig into the Bible to discover why he was sent and what that means for us.
Jesus said to them again. "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you" John 20:21
Keeping Jesus at the Centre
With Christmas coming fast round the corner. As much as we want to put off thinking about it, for as long as possible: you know, it won’t be long before someone asks you; ‘What are you doing for Christmas?’
