"Silly photo" - our Oct 2011 Messy Church team

Sensible photo time! :P

 We enjoyed taking part in a wide range of activities that centred around the story of the Sower in the Bible, including: mini worm farms, grass heads, planting seedlings, decopauge, wood work, scarecrows, bubbles, facepainting, flower presses, cupcake decorating, seed pod creatures, playdough, seed mosaics, pipecleaner caterpillar pencils, fruit & vegie faces!

After our Celebration Time in the church, we all headed back to the hall for a delicious pizza and salad dinner! The hall tables were decorated with beautiful flower arrangements created by one of the members of the team.

Our next big Messy Church event will be held in February 2012 (date TBA).
All of our Messy Church families are invited to come along to a special Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve (time TBA - more info soon).
