Messy Church has now been running for 1 year, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  It reaches about 60 people each month with the love of God and there also happens to be about 60 families who's lives have been enriched over the year.  Each month we pick a theme to explore through the activities and worship including: One body, remembrance, Christmas, Creation, Joseph, Jonah, Easter, Builders Parable, Prodigal Son, Treasure, Harvest and Light.  For the next two months we are going on tour, with a bonfire in November and Open the Box in Nether Winchendon in December....
