Messy Church – 13th October
This Sunday, from 4-5.30pm in Chearsley Village Hall, as the nights are getting darker, we thought we would focus on one of Jesus' "I am" sayings.
"I am the Light of the World"

By saying “I am”, he boldly and unashamedly declared and claimed on behalf of himself that he was God and by saying “of the world” that he had come for every single one of us, not just the Jews.
What does “the light” mean? We will be exploring this in our activities at Messy Church this Sunday:
Traffic light food craft – sometimes Jesus says “stop” to protect us, sometimes “wait” and sometimes “go for it!”
Lighthouse craft – like a lighthouse, Jesus guides us away from things that might harm us and points the best route
