Family Services
Our family services are held throughout our benefice and are for all ages from 0-99. It contains all the usual features of a church service – songs, a Bible reading, prayers, a talk. 'Anniversary candles' are shared as part of the worship and those who have been baptised in the church are invited to celebrate their baptism anniversary.
Messy Church
Messy Church is a church for adults and children to enjoy together. It's all-age. It's fun. It usually includes some creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy; a celebration time which might involve story, prayer, song, games and similar; eating together. Its values are those of hospitality, creativity and celebration. It models and promotes good ways of growing as a family: a nuclear family, an extended family and a global and local church family. The first one started in Hampshire in 2004 and the idea has spread so that there are now many Messy Churches.
Open to everyone - it is for adults and children to enjoy a time together – craft, worship and food
