Can you help?

Messy church is a valuable outreach to our families and children but we really need helpers to keep this going.
It is only once a month and you do not have to help every month.

Can you help with any of the following?

Teaching from the front.
Telling the story of the day and what it means in a form suitable for all ages.
Run a group for the older children whilst younger ones do crafts.
Making Food, can you make food at home and bring it in ready to be served on the day. It would be great to have a larger team for this.
Kitchen Team, preparing food ready to serve and washing up.
Washing up, come in at the end and assist with washing up.
Help on craft tables, crafts are prepared for you.
Setting up or clearing away Messy Church, come along at 3pm

If you can’t help in any other way, please help by praying for Messy Church, Tots, Rock Solid and R2 Youth Clubs and of course our Children’s Church.
