Messy Church
Usually @Trinity Church Westhill - 2.00-3.30pm on the last Sunday of the month.
A fun way for all the family (from the youngest to the oldest) to come together and enjoy worshipping God. We begin with a simple song, and an introduction to the afternoon's activities, which are all based on a bible story. The craft activities allow everyone to make a number of items and perhaps a bit of a mess! We gather back together to hear more about the story, to sing a few songs and to say grace. Then it's off to the back hall for dinner. Come and join us - we are delighted to welcome new families.
