Our April Messy Church continues our ‘Meals with Jesus’ series. We have seen that Jesus welcomed anyone and everyone. He shared a table with the people noone else wanted – the bad, the sinful, the broken and needy – like Zacchaeus and the woman with the perfume. Jesus was with his friends, the disciples. They’d […]

March Messy Church
March’s Messy Church explores another meal with Jesus. We meet a really unpleasant man who wasn’t liked by anyone – he was mean and nasty and even cheated people. Jesus chose to invite himself round to his house for a meal. We don’t know what Jesus and Zacheaus discussed but after the time he spent […]
February Messy Church
This month at Messy Church we are starting a new series. Each month we’re exploring a different meals with Jesus. This month while Jesus is having a meal at Simon’s house when a woman pours some VERY expensive perfume over Jesus’ feet. It caused quite a stir. You can read about it in Luke 7: […]

After appearing to his friends lots of times, it is time for Jesus to leave… You can read what happened in Acts 1: 1-11 Here we see Jesus going from a very ordinary meal with his disciples to a glorious moment when heaven and earth come close together, as he leaves his friends to go […]
April 2021 Messy Church
Happy Easter. Wow! what a rollercoaster the disciples have been on for the past week… They had been part of the celebration of Palm Sunday … could Jesus be the King they had been waiting for many many years? Been surprised and puzzled by the events of The last Supper. They had watched in disbelief […]
