Messy Church - Away in a Messy Manger with Christmas Gift Making Fair

We're going on a journey toward the manger this Advent. Join us for an evening of entering the Advent and Christmas seasons through the nativity story. We'll meet some new friends along the way as we move toward the manger on the front lawn to end with a Christmas carol.

We'll also share a Christmas meal and special dessert before transitioning to a new experience for 2025: a Christmas Gift Making Fair! We'll have plenty of options for making beautiful, simple gifts for family and friends this season. You'll find sustainable options in partnership with our Creation Care Team, materials to let your creativity run wild, guided crafts for younger children, and opportunities to make gifts for others in our community. We're excited to enter the generous spirit of the season by thinking about how we can offer our gifts to the people we love.

What is Messy Church?

Join us on the second Tuesday of each month from 5:30 to 7:30pm to discover a new theme of life with God each month through free play, crafts, fun praise songs, and Bible stories. We also worship God through celebrations of Baptism and Holy Communion, missional service nights, water game nights, and more special evenings throughout the year. Experience heartfelt prayers and join in for dramatic storytelling that brings the theme to life. Wrap up the evening with a delicious family-style dinner where you can share stories and laughs with both new friends and old —no cost, no dress code or expectations, and always open to all ages. Join us to have fun with God and each other!
