Messy church @ St Andrews!
Messy Church is "a way of being church for families". Its slogan is "Church, but not as you know it".
It can be messy, loud, colourful, competitive, creative, but it’s always great fun!
The event is free and all are welcome. The activities are aimed mainly for primary aged children but younger siblings and parents/carers will also enjoy the experience.
The events are bi-monthly, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon:
Sunday 22nd September 2024
Saturday 30th November 2024
A rough guide to the 2 hour event is:
3-4pm – Crafts/activities
4-4.20 – Creative Bible story and songs
4.20 – 5pm – A light sandwich tea
No booking necessary - we’d love to see you!
Weekdays
We have Toddler groups, Bump & Beyond (for new mums and mums-to-be), a Mums' Bible Study, and Andy's Community Cafe where everyone can meet and enjoy a drink and snack.
Toddlers and Bump & Beyond are drop-in groups, although number restrictions may apply: for further information email toddlers@standrewsgwp.org or bumpandbeyond@standrewsgwp.org

FRIDAY FUSION is our group for ages 11+ on alternate Friday evenings. This are held in our A2 Youth and Community Centre, right by the main church building.
