Pastor’s Paragraphs:
Our Messy Church night in August will mark one year since we began this outreach ministry. To celebrate this anniversary, we are going to have a special outdoor event, weather permitting. On August 14, we will meet at 5:30 and proceed with our regular schedule of games, crafts and activities, followed by a brief time of worship, and then have “cook-out” type of meal together.
If you have not participated in Messy Church yet, this would be a great time to check it out. Yes, this is intended to be an outreach for those who might not otherwise attend church, but your involvement in this program would be an encouragement and example to those we are trying to reach. If others see that this is important to our church members, they would be much more likely to share that same sense of importance.
Messy Church is a great event for the entire family. There are activities for all ages to enjoy. In fact, we do insist that minors be accompanied by adults. Rather than this be seen as a children's ministry where parents can drop off their kids for a while, we want this to be seen as an event for the entire church family. Even if you don't bring any kids with you, there is plenty for you to do, or watch, or enjoy.
Come join us as we share our messy lives, and come make a mess at church! Hope to see you
on the 14th.
With love, Pastor Scott
