Following the success of our summer Messy Church we are hoping to hold a monthly Messy Church at our church for children and parents/carers on the first Saturday of the Month 9.30-11am concluding with bacon butties etc.
If we have enough help (oversee a craft provided/cook bacon/welcome people etc) we would like to begin on Saturday Oct 6th.
If you can help on this occasion please let Philip Simpkins or Rachel Sheridan know as soon as possible (either personally or through the church office 01420 82695). Thank you.
