What is Messy Church?
Messy Church is for everyone- regardless of age.
It is a completely informal style of church built around creativity, celebration and hospitality.
Messy Church will have a different theme each month but will always include a range of activities -
crafts, food, games, discussion, singing and stories.
COGS Messy Church next meets on 14th July

In June's Messy church we were thinking about the difference between happiness and the true joy that comes from knowing Jesus. Knowing Jesus and having the Holy Spirit in our lives changes us, we begin to listen and obey God, certain, gifts or blessings come into our lives. These gifts, called the fruit of the Spirit, are like seeds God grows inside of us to show others what his love looks like. Just like a healthy tree produces fruit, a person walking with God will see love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.
Messy Church May was all about Pentecost, our story found in Acts chapter 2 is set after Jesus returns to Heaven.
On this day, now celebrated as Pentecost, 3000 people became Christians. It was like the church’s birthday!
Messy Church meets monthy (except August), usually on the second Sunday, 3.45-5.45pm
Our last Messy Church of 2023 included our Christingle service.
