PHOTOS: 'In The Light' June 2012

Messy Church 'In The Light' was held on Sunday 17th June 2012 at Dapto Uniting Church. 

Over 120 kids and adults enjoyed the variety of 'light' themed activities and experiences on offer. These included: paper lanterns, fireflies, sparkly playdough, shadow play, candle decorating, mini candle making, wooden candle holders, glass painting, glow-in-the-dark painting and sparkle collages.

Our families also experienced a special science 'Light Lab' that featured: glow sand, glow slime, glow water, glow jars, glow playdough, light tables, glow facepaint, glow nail polish, lava lamp, plasma ball and much more!

We then moved into the church to learn about how Jesus is the 'Light of the World'. After a quiz, glowsticks, singing and dancing to a couple of songs, we headed back to the hall for a delicious jacket potato and salad dinner. We ate jelly and fairy bread for dessert!

ENJOY THE PHOTOS!
