St. Peter's, Stockton

 Forthcoming Dates for Messy Church

3rd Saturday of each month in St Peter's Church

Next Messy church Saturday  18th May.

The theme is Invisible God.

Come and join us for a fun morning of crafts, music, stories, refreshments and lunch.

 Come to enjoy being together, making things together, eating together and celebrating God together through his word, through music and through prayer. It's different from a children's activity day because it's an event for children and their parents or carers together, and it's more than a local authority fun day because of the element of worship that underpins it all.

With Messy Church we are trying to be a worshipping community of all ages, centred on Christ, showing Christian hospitality- giving people a chance to express their creativity, sit down together to eat a meal and to have fun within the Church context.

The principles of Messy Church are:

• To provide and opportunity for people of all ages to worship together.
• To help people of all ages feel that they belong in Church and to each other.
• To help people to have fun together.
• To give people a chance to express their God-given creativity.
• To invite people into an experience of Christian community.
• To introduce people to Jesus through hospitality, friendship, stories and worship.

 Come along and join us for a fun morning of crafts, music, stories, refreshments and lunch.
