As we follow Jesus we often wonder, "What should we do." But, we also ask, "Who should we be?" This month, we'll explore a section of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount called the Beatitudes. They are a list of blessings ("beatitude" means "blessed" in Greek) for the people who follow Jesus. When we read who Jesus calls blessed, we might be surprised to discover his descriptions don't include people who are powerful and comfortable, but lift up those who are weak, hurting, and lonely. We'll wonder together about what Jesus meant by these strange blessing, and how they invite us to live and who they invite us to become along the way.
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!
